Well what do you think about the blues states; calls to secede from the red states in 04 with many shouting that they were moving to other countries much like confederates claimed they would do and many did? Seems the issue of secession is pretty valid in the here and now. I still contend its unconstitutional if they try it. They wouldn’t have a hope in hell.

NOPE. not imaginary and/or cowards. they are just UNWILLING to "roll about in the mud" with a LIAR, a DAMNyankee and/or a BIGOT.

PITY that you don't have the wit to understand that you & "x" are bad JOKES to the smarter FReepers on these threads, who are daily exposed to your NONSENSE, lies & sludge.

#940 is a CLASSIC example of why you are thought a FOOL, "not overly loaded with brains" & an anti-southern BIGOT, by those who bother to read your NONSENSE & nitwittery.

perhaps, you should ask N-S the leader of "the DAMNyankee coven of fools,WIERDOS,lunatics,LEFTISTS, bigots, REVISIONISTS & a RACIST" if you can join his "motley, but jolly, band" of HATERS???

tell me, "philly" how many years did YOU serve in the armed services of this nation??? my guess is NONE! (i, otoh, served as an officer for a total of 28.5 years in both the RVN & Desert Shield conflicts = so much for your IGNORANT sludge, which you spewed onto the forum).

don't be deceived by the LYING bigot, "x".

he is well-known on these threads to be just a PREJUDICED, ignorant, HATER of American Indians & the least intelligent/educated of the members of "the DAMNyankee coven".

IF you are under the false impression that he is CAPABLE of "spanking" ANYBODY on FR, you are sadly mistaken. he couldn't intellectually "spank" my 26 month-old niece

fwiw, he KNOWS that i'm NOT now, nor have i ever been, on "DU".

finally,you should ask "x" & "bubba, the LIAR" WHICH of the current/former members of "the DY coven" are:

1. ACTIVE members of "DU",

2.which (of his "buddies") are also members of A.N.S.W.E.R.,

3.belong to "moveon.com", 4.

marched against the Iraq war in Washington, DC and/or

5.are "contributors" to "DAILY KOS". (btw, at least TWO of "the coven members" were SEEN marching IN the last big A.N.S.W.E.R. parade.)

btw, are you BRIGHT enough to understand that you just ADMITTED that the DAMNyankees were HYPOCRYTES??? (NO?? i thought NOT.)

btw, as we have at least 2 "newbies" ("delacon" & "philly nomad") on this thread, be sure to tell them:

1. WHO you used to be before you were PERMANENTLY BANNED from FR,

2.WHAT exactly you got yourself BANNED for DOING,

3.WHAT criminal fraud you ADMITTED to perpretrating (while trying, UNSUCESSFULLY i might add, to win an argument with me),

4.WHY anyone should believe ANYTHING you post, given your well-founded REPUTATION as a SERIAL LIAR and

5. WHEN you are going to resign from FR & return to your "buddies" on DU. (take "x" by the hand, as you dance out the door. you will NOT be missed here, as FR is for CONSERVATIVES.)

laughing AT you, BIGOT.

ref: #937, we NOTE that you didn't have the GUTS to TRUTHFULLY answer my questions in post #933, as you KNOW that i'm CORRECT about Garrison,Butler,Puck, Tweed & LOTS of other "heroes of the crusade against slavery".

those "heroes" were IN "the flesh trade" through shipping/banking/insurance/railroad companies that they invested in, with the FULL KNOWLEDGE that those companies had "dirty hands" from selling/trading/transporting/importing/exporting slaves. after the WBTS & the UNlamented end of slavery in the USA, those same companies/persons INVESTED in slavery where it was still lawful.

tell me, "oh great oracle", is OWNING slaves any worse than being IN the slave trade "by proxy", while CONDEMNING the slavers???? (we all KNOW that you won't truthfully answer that, as you are a KNOWN serial-liar, DY apologist for the worst acts of the HYPOCRYTES, a supporter of the "filth that came down from the north" & an KNOWN anti-southern BIGOT.)

laughing AT you, LIAR.

I only had to go down to the first quote you reference to find your massive editing and spinning.

Typical yankee response. If someone doesn't post the entire opinion ...

Chase wrote, 'it has been said that they [the several states] were sovereign, were completely independent, and were connected with each other only by a league. This is true'.

Lincoln claimed the states never were independent, that somehow a mythical union predated them, created them from nothingness. Perhaps Lincoln, not being a Christian, sought to ascribe some godlike power to this mystical union. Maybe he was into spiritualism, who knows. But historical fact proves otherwise, the states were independent, and declared their independence separately.

The author of the piece you posted is unaware of historical fact, several states had declared their independence prior to 4 Jul 1776, several did not even sign the Declaration until August (one of them being New York). Even Justice Chase, in Ware v Hylton, recognized that fact:

In June 1776, the Convention of Virginia formally declared, that Virginia was a free, sovereign, and independent state.

Interesting decision, as Chase continues with a statement that can be applied to conditions in 1861:

Before these solemn acts of separation from the Crown of Great Britain, the war between Great Britain and the United Colonies, jointly, and separately, was a civil war; but instantly, on that great and ever memorable event, the war changed its nature, and became a PUBLIC war between independent governments; and immediately thereupon ALL the rights of public war (and all the other rights of an independent nation) attached to the government of Virginia; and all the former political connection between Great Britain and Virginia, and also between their respective subjects, were totally dissolved; and not only the two nations, but all the subjects of each, were in a state of war.

don't pay "del" too much mind as he/she are obviously "in the running" to join the clueLESS wing of "the DAMNyankee coven".

pity. i keep wishing that we might get another SMART unionist for these threads.(N-S is the ONLY one "of the current crop" who is more than HALF-bright.)

tw, are you BRIGHT enough to understand that you just ADMITTED that the DAMNyankees were HYPOCRYTES??? (NO?? i thought NOT.)

But they do know how to spell "hypocrites." I'm still waiting for some proof to back up your typically hysterical assertion that all, most, some, or even a few abolitionists were involved in the slave trade. You saying that I know it's true doesn't fly. Were some yankees involved in the slave trade? Indisputably. Were all of them? Hardly. You appear to be guilty of lumping all northerners together in some evil conspiracy to force slavery on the unwilling southerners.

FR is for CONSERVATIVES.

FR is for people who aren't in favor of breaking up the United States.

"...Garrison,Butler,Puck, Tweed & LOTS of other "heroes of the crusade against slavery"."

Garrison I know, but who exactly are these others? Pardee Butler, of Kansas? Puck? Tweed? Are you talking about Boss Tweed? I've never seen him named as an abolitionist, and it seems unlikely, since he was a democrat.

swattie, is that the Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream, the Puck from MTV's The Real World or the one with the restaurants?

All of them? Finding out that they were abolitionists is shocking enough, but discovering that they owned slaves is just too much!

As your therapist, I suggest we start by limiting yourself to one lie a day.

laughing AT you for so CLUMSILY trying to "change the subject" AWAY from YOUR never-ending series of LIES, ignorant ARROGANCE & (evidently) stupidity.

fwiw, the "spell-checker" seems to "like" my spelling just fine & i didn't bother to go hunt a dictionary. perhaps you've found your niche on FR;you can be our "semi-smart, semi-educated spell-check" from now on.

laughing AT you, BOOB.

don't you get TIRED of being the "class idiot", DUMB-bunny & BUTT of most of the inside jokes about STUPID people on the forum????

frankly, if i didn't enjoy ABUSING you for being a BIGOT & a south-HATER, i wouldn't even bother to read your bilge, much less answer you.

you are just "a pitiful case" in the opinion of one lady here (who i consider one of the brighter FReepers).

in your (FEVERED, SOUTH-hating) dreams, DUNCE.

face it, "bubba", NOBODY (with the POSSIBLE exception of "x", who willingly believes ANYTHING that he reads on the "worldwidewierd",) believes ANTHING that you "bless" the forum with.

your REPUTATION is that of a FOOL, a serial LIAR, a BIGOT & you are RUINED on the forum except for being considered a prime EXAMPLE of what NO member of FR should be.

btw, WHEN are you going to tell everyone:

1. WHO you "used to be" before being BANNED from FR,

2. WHAT you DID to get yourself PERMANENTLY BANNED from the forum,

3.WHAT CRIME you admitted to committing, while trying (STUPIDLY) to win an UNwinnable argument AND

4. WHEN you are APOLOGIZING to all the forum for being our "general all around CREEP" & LEAVING forever???

btw, i will remind everyone of WHAT you are on every thread, that you post on, from now on. (i DESPISE bigots & south-HATERS, even more than i despise the LOUDmouthed,bigoted,sanctimonious, arrogant, minority of northerners, who southerners call: DAMNyankees.)

laughing AT you!

So when was that Thanksgiving at El Paso again? Was it before Cortez landed, or was it while he was still camped outside Tenochtitlan?

why not stop "trying to change the subject" away from your reputation for DISHONESTY, arrogant ignorance, SELF-importance & BIGOTRY???

instead,you should APOLOGIZE for being a HATER, a LIAR & a CREEP, as FReepers would think better of you ,if you simply said:

"I'm a serial LIAR & I'm SORRY for all the rotten things I've said & done. I will now leave FR forever. (signed) Bubba Ho-tep"

sadly, for you (& for everyone else on FR), you aren't either decent or HONEST enough to do that.

laughing AT you.
