Lest you yankees get too far ahead of yourselves demeaning the South, I call out your obvious jealousy for all things southern as indicated by the “Hitler” reference when discussing the South and the Civil War.

In no way do I equate the people as property slave regime known as the "Confederate States of America" with the mad genocidal rule of German Nazism. Not quite.

And it's not jealousy, it's contempt. The CSA is one of the best buffoon acts in the pageant of human history.

Hello, pouch private. Leading with your chin again?

“And it’s not jealousy, it’s contempt.”

Last time I checked the South was part of America. You are contemptuous of things that are part of you and your history.

“The CSA is one of the best buffoon acts in the pageant of human history.”

Lee, as head of the buffoon army is one of the greatest of Americans. Soldiers the world over study his generalship to this day.

So if he was a buffoon, he was OUR buffoon (the big “our” that includes you and me and the rest of America)

So your bitterness and contempt certainly barely masks something - maybe you got a mint julep thrown in your face, who knows - but it really doesn’t matter. History has already decided that Lee, Jefferson Davis, Jackson were great Americans. You should aspire to be like them - dedicated to their state and honorable men.
