Uh, I don't think so, B.M. Most of the southern heritage supporters here back up their arguments with historical documentation, while many of their opponents (especially yourself) rely on the ad-hominen. While their slander is tolerated by the moderators, they eventually out themselves in other ways and get banned, as the late-and-not-so-great Wlat and Modernman have. Most of you people don't even try to debate - you resort to slander. When people like yourself enter a thread, the level of discourse and the flow of debate enters the toilet.
Secondly, revisionism based on political correctness is the chief (if only) tool in the south bashers arsenal. Until left wing groups like the NAACP needed an issue, pride in southern heritage was part of Americana. It will be again. When your chief allies are mostly left wing malcontents, like Jesse Jackson Jr and his efforts to politicize civil war battlefields ("There is concern, however, about the isolated existence of these Civil War battle sites in that they are often not placed in the proper historical context."), you need to question your judgement. I would have guessed that even the most flatulent south basher would have been against making battlefields politically correct, but as the threads discussing the subject in the past have shown, they were all for it.
Lastly, there is absolutely nothing you can do about southern pride. We were here before you, and we'll be around for a long time - better get used to it.
The "bash the south movement" is nothing but a recent PC innovation by PC people.
