The removal of the Confederate flag from Amherst County's official seal has upset Southern heritage groups, who contend residents weren't told of the change. County officials acknowledge the image was quietly removed in August 2004 to avoid an uproar.

Worth repeatng bump.
the ONLY one of the "coven of lunatics, fools & south-HATERS", who has a BRAIN & an education is N-S & he seems to be "off his meds" today.
N-S is generally neither RUDE nor HATEFUL!

Your post #983 is full of assumptions that put you in the category of the first three lettes of that word. First, assume pre-textual lies about your opponent and then feast on those lies as if they are true. Too bad. You seem to be patriotic enough. But using tactics of MSM and DU aren't becoming of Free Republic.
Our Lord and Saviour - Jesus the Christ - never once condemned a slave-owner, he healed the centurion's slave instead, and commanded that those in servitude honour their masters, just as he commanded masters to honour their servants. But the hate filled yankees put themselves above our God, and seek to accomplish their own goals.
Our people simply wanted to separate, to be left alone, to re-establish the government that the founders gave us, free from the sanctimonious liberals that worship big-government and the nanny state. Lincoln was the ultimate liar, government of the people would not disappear with a union loss, it disappeared with a union victory. They invent they excuse that the union fought to free slaves, but if that were true why didn't they invade dozens of other countries to end slavery? Why did they exclude blacks up North? Why did they vote against extending the right of suffrage to blacks after the war?
The south haters simply can't stand the thought that their ancestors were bigots and racists, desiring an America free from blacks, just as Lincoln himself championed. While in office Lincoln repeatedly advocated repatriation/colonization. Nolu Chan was banned for simply posting the words of Lincoln to that effect. The south haters can't have their mythological "saint" presented factually, so their efforts are dedicated to slamming those that post the truth.
The history of the South shows that Dixie has never been short of louts.

SO VERY TRUE!
DAMNyankees are so filled with HATE!
to All:
a DAMNyankee is a person from the NORTH who HATES dixie, her blood-spattered/sacred battleflags, her heroes, her martyrs,her CSA memorials & cemeteries, the culture of the southland AND our southern PEOPLE. all TRUE southerners despise DAMNyankees as the HATERS & BIGOTS that they are.
otoh, only 10-15% of northerners are DAMNyankees. the VAST majority of northerners are NOT haters.
SADLY, the BIGOTED MINORITY are REALLY loud & nasty (i firmly believe that if they were not so busy hating the southland/southerners, they would be some other sort of BIGOT!).

You were high on Mortonite when you wrote that, weren't you?
sadly most of the members of "the unionist coven" are too clueLESS to know what is actually TRUE or FALSE. they are victims of "da gubmint pubic screwls sistim" and/or the mainSLIME media.
describing ANYTHING/ANYBODY as "neoconfederate" marks the person using that TERM OF ABUSE as either a BIGOT and/or a FOOL.

No, you only go to demonstrate that there are, in fact, four kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, statistics, and stand watie posts.
free dixie,sw
like in said, were you "off your meds"???
free dixie,sw
the WORST LIES told are those which DENY the HOLOCAUST against the brave people of the southland, committed by the "filth that flowed down from the north".
as my grandfather used to say, N-S, "you know better. you just don't do better."
free dixie,sw
Yeah. I'm fresh out of Mortonite and my local apothecary doesn't have any more weeping willow bark extract. Next they'll be running out of eagle feathers and asafedita. That's what I get for signing with a southron HMO.
Now who's off their meds?
In post # 984 - counter any historical facts I listed which you term as being, "KNOWINGLY false". Prove it.
I am not a south hater. I am an America lover.
Either you perpetual victimhood neoconfederates are Americans or you are not American and are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Your comments seem to correlate with that of other fanatical neo-confederates who use the Bible as the foundation for their ongoing agenda.
"This page is dedicated to the cause of preserving God's divine law. The contents herein support the ideology of slavery as an institution appointed by God. The arguments are informative and convincing. If a supporter already or looking for information, this site is worthy to of consideration."
Is your statement the sole justification for remarks made by the likes of the "Confederate's" #2 man & - Alexander Stephens "Little Aleck" of Georgia who owned 34 slaves and several thousand acres. A guy which had a real vested interest in slavery continuing.
"The great question of the permanence of slavery in the southern states," he said, "was critical to maintaining the union."
There is always Stephens well known & infamous Cornerstone Speech made on March 21st, 1861, in Savannah, Georgia.
"our new government was founded, its foundations are laid, [and] its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man. That slavery, submission to a superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This is our new government," (Sounds like Adolph did the 1930's)
Not to worry since after the Civil War ended Stephens was captured and imprisoned in Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, where he had the privilege of daily New England coastal scenery.
Jeffy Davis, the run-a-way head slave master, caught attempting to escape to Cuba - in a ladies dress down in GA. Old Jeffy had sea side views too - of the Tidewater region of Virginia while in prison at Fort Monroe, only when allowed out of the appropriate leg irons, the same type slaves wore! Davis tasted the day in, day out humiliation of human bondage he so rigorously promoted by triggering the Civil War. Reciprocity was served!
Another sample from "Confederate" #1:
"Under the mild and genial climate of the Southern States and the increasing care and attention for the well-being and comfort of the laboring class, dictated alike by interest and humanity, the African slaves had augmented in number from about 600,000, at the date of the adoption of the constitutional compact, to upward of 4,000,000."
Jefferson Davis speech Montgomery, April 29th, 1861
"Our people simply wanted to separate, to be left alone, to re-establish the government that the founders gave us, free from the sanctimonious liberals that worship big-government and the nanny state."
Don't you agree with your pro-slavery hero?
"The white population of the Southern slaveholding States had augmented form about 1,250,000 at the date of the adoption of the Constitution to more than 8,500,000 in 1860; and the productions of the South in cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco, for the full development and continuance of which the labor of African slaves was and is indispensable.."
Jefferson Davis speech Montgomery, April 29th, 1861
Here is another Davis quote you should enjoy made on July 6th, 1862.
"All negro slaves captured in arms be at once delivered over to the executive authorities of the respective States to which they belong, to be dealt with according to the laws of said States."
In your opinion how should those escaped Southern slaves, fighting to end slavery "be dealt with according"?
Yet another Davis quote from the same speech:
"That the like orders be executed in all cases with respect to all commissioned officers of the United States" when found serving in company with armed slaves in insurrection against the authorities of the different States of this Confederacy"
Are you going to tell everyone traitor Davis never made these insidious statements and every quoted comment by the Slave Empire's top dogs are just "damnyankee lies".?
ADJT. AND INSP. GENERAL'S OFFICE, Richmond [Va.], December 24, 1862. GENERAL ORDERS, No. 111.
If you and your pal Stand were honest the both of you would state the winds of the Civil War were fanned by countless pro-slavery speeches from Slavery Inc's leading politicians and like minded Southern newspaper editorials.
"Governor Joseph Brown, clearly explained why the state Georgia was conned into seceding from the United States of America by the state's political bunch. He said that Lincoln was "a mere instrument of the great triumphant party [the Republican party], the principles of which are deadly hostile," not to states rights, not to tariffs, not to internal taxes, but "deadly hostile to the institution of slavery."
Wow!.....for once some truth from the original "Confederate" side!
Editorial opinion in the 1861 Augusta Daily Constitution agreed: "our ideal is a pro-slavery republic,"
Alabama's Robert Hardy Smith "We have dissolved the late Union chiefly because of the Negro quarrel." The ardent proponents of "Confederate" insurrection were able to con even the small, slave-less farmers of the South, thus making the issue of maintaining & the expansion of slaveocracy transcendent to one of "state's rights". Southern proponents of the expansion of the slavery's corporate empire, knew that if slavery were forever confined to the areas in which it existed in 1860, it would eventually be abolished even there since the majority of the civilized nations had already acted and abolished slavery. The sore pro-slaver losers of the 1860 election felt their only recourse was to incite full scale civil war in order to "continue their way of life".
Do you, like Mr Stand, coupled with that insignificant collection of raging Lew Rockwellian, neo-confederate cheerleaders advocate a forced "Dixie Republic" ripped from the United States in 2006 - or do you require additional time in order to plot with Civil War toy soldiers? Or would you rather carve out a so-called "Dixie Republic" from selected American states utilizing more anarcho-neo-confederate methods?
This is the flag real Americans fly:
The question is, which country in his 'lost cause' mindset?
