Most Freepers can't understand how anyone like me can tolerate trying to communicate with crackpots

My hat's off to you and M.Espinola: you both manage to engage the savants who make up the Lost Cause Squad around here with equanimity, poise, and, most importantly, consistently presented facts.

They continue to bray and howl.

There is, of course, very little difference between your average America-hating leftist posting venom-dripping rants at DU and the simpering specimens of the Lost Cause Squad whom routinely trash the country they live in here, in these Civil War threads--and what difference there is actually reflects poorly on the Lost Cause Squad, not the denizens of DUmmyland.

Your average DUmmy is, after all, honest about his or her contempt for this nation: they despise the United States, its people, its history, and its traditions. They genuinely believe that the entire effort we as a people have undertaken since 1776 has been one BIG MISTAKE, and that the world would be better off without the entity they disdain as "Amerika." That is a silly, contemptible viewpoint, in my estimation, but one can respect its forthrightness as an opinion honestly expressed and fervently believed. They are, after all, deluded, ignorant Leftists, and no decent person expects any better from them.

Our Lost Cause Squad has no such ideological fig leafs to cower behind while they shriek what amounts to vile anti-Americanism in these CW threads: indeed, the bulk of them pose as great "patriots" who love their country, as long as the issue of how their country was preserved AS A COUNTRY, circa 1861-65, is not brought up.

Then they snarl filth at not only those who preserved the Union they live in, but the Union itself. At least the DUmmies aren't hypocritical: they hate the United States across the board. The Lost Cause Squad pretends to only hate it in retrospect. In truth, they both share a disdain & contempt for the United States, though for admittedly different reasons and widely varying reasons.

Bravo to both of you for being willing to engage these hypocritical anti-Americans daily. You've got more patience, persistence--and robust enough stomachs--to wade through their regularly proffered bilge than me, and I salute you.

Ah, another cad piles on.

Hey, Cad, last I saw of you, you were licking Jim Robinson's hand like Peter Lorre in Casablanca and telling him you had no idea and scuttling away from the fallout veils dropping from the mushroom cloud that used to be your mendacious fellow-striver, capitan_refugio.

Capitan was almost as good at making stuff up as our boy Justshutupandfakeit here.

Whaddayasay, Cad? Long time, no see. No wonder I felt so good.

Then they snarl filth.....

Back that up with a quote. Cite and quote, pal. Cite the "filth", quote the "filth". And don't throw down some of yours and pretend it's ours, like capitan used to do.

And keep your quotes straight. When you quote some attorney briefing in Marbury vs. Madison or Ex Parte Bollman and Swartout, don't tell us it's John Marshall delivering the opinion of the Court.

"Then they snarl filth at not only those who preserved the Union they live in, but the Union itself."

So very true. When one refers to America so contemptuously as stating "Amerika." the hidden, seething hate comes through loud and clear. It's disgusting how much they really despise this nation, yet not enough to permanently get the hell out on the next flight. Just like the leftist commies & filthy hippies they will verbally blast the very country which allows them the freedom to express their seditious attempts at civil insurrection, since in other nations the governments would throw the whole lot of them in the clink!

Today's collection of neo-confederates trumpet the old slavery system of the pre-1865 South as some kind of romantic land of magnolias and sun drenched cotton fields, where the ever smiling slaves toiled happily for their kindly white masters.

According to the neo-confeds the plantation slaves flocked to kill the "damnyankees" and then of course would willingly return to the cotton fields after serving Slavery Inc. What a pack of lies, and this bunch knows it, yet they always try perpetuating the same worn out lie since maybe some uninformed schemeil might stumble in and buy it, hook line and dixie cup.

The sickly little "Confederate Vice President" Alexander Stephens who said shortly after the founding of the insurrectionist "Confederacy", "Our new government's foundations are laid. Its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man, that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition."

Yet according to the neo-confeds for the entire duration of the Civil War the plantation slaves cheerfully flocked to fight side by side the same low life s-o-b who flogged & abuse them for mega-profits. What a lot of crap.

The Lost Cause Squad seems to diminish in size with every neo-confederate propaganda thread.

The disenfranchised disciples of DeLorenzo's disinformation department never tire in spreading their outlandish fables concerning the Civil War period as well as the many years of Jim Crow.

Some of those in question mask longing for 'the good old days' when 'good old boys' with half a brain cell could feel so superior while viciously abusing & threatening fellow Americans whenever they felt like it, since abuse & threats were "legal" in the Jim Crow South.

If the promoters of Dixie Deception Inc were placed on a polygraph machine the poor machine would rapidly overload from repetitive lies.

Those in question are a real embarrassment to the GOP. Check out this "Southern" website. Note the banner they use for this hate website: Southern Advocates for Slavery

Quote from the website:

"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."

Notice whomever these schmucks are they do not mention an address for their Southern pro-slavery "group".
