"MY favorite Confederate General is Gen. James Longstreet..."

Ah yes...Julia Grant's cousin ;-)

He is a coward.

Who is the bigger coward, the one who doesn't answer the obvious baiting and stupidity or the internet tough guy who talks a good game but never leaves the seat of his pants to actually DO something about it?

The answer is B. Therefore, the answer is your little, and I do mean LITTLE, clique....

I admit I haven't read much of "Mein Kampt". But I have read parts of Davis' "Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government". I'm sure the two are quite similar.

Well had the US been ballsy enough to execute the obvious traitors after the Civil War, maybe Wiemar Germany would have executed Hitler. Oh well....

Wrong corporal ..... Confederate heritage is a subset of southern heritage. What would yankees know anyway?

You can continue to make personal attacks, but I will stick to the facts regarding General Lee, and debate on said facts.

Lee was a great man, as his father was. Other than that, I'm at a loss for words. For example: the "GOP youth" has no grasp of what a Republic and Centralized Empire are. Why even waste time explaining who fought for what?

If Lee did anything wrong in life, it would have only been the surrendering his good and noble men. There will be no surrender this time....

This comment just shows how full of it you truly are....you obviously have ZERO understanding of either the man or the cause.

And yes, we know there won't be any surrender because there won't be any war. Not a one of you reclusive shut-ins are going to do anything in any way like what Lee or Davis or Longstreet or any of the CSA generals actually did...

Isn't that right, Idabumpkin?

Listen pal, I’m a former Leftist who once ‘’sipped the Kool-aid’’

You have still got a lot to learn, especially US history. IMO being an ex-leftist is nothing to be proud of. It's like saying I was a former child pornographer. Just get over it and move on no need to advertise your previous scumminess.

Secession? Never.

So your new Coven mate jamacusa would never secede, ever. Even if we elect a Marxist as President? Or maybe a President tries to take over private industry. Or the supreme court makes abortion legal and forces tax payers to pay for it. Oh, wait...

Really no secession ever? Really you are that duped? What say you N-S about jamcusa?

I’ll tell you what pal, go ahead and secede from the union and form your own little country. Let me know how it works for you. And watch you your calling ‘’duped’’.

And mostly imaginary.

[You] pledging allegiance to your hero Obamo This comment just shows how full of it you truly are....you obviously have ZERO understanding of either the man or the cause.

[Lee]"Governor, if I had foreseen the use these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no, sir, not by me. Had I seen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand."

There you have it, dumbo. Judging by your bigoted comments towards the South and Southerners, I'm in total agreement with the Good General.

Here's another quote from a "stupid states righter" jerk:

"The extent of our country was so great, and its former division into distinct States so established, that we thought it better to confederate as to foreign affairs only. Every State retained its self-government in domestic matters, as better qualified to direct them to the good and satisfaction of their citizens, than a general government so distant from its remoter citizens and so little familiar with the local peculiarities of the different parts."

           --Thomas Jefferson to A. Coray, 1823.

Because it's so amusing when you try.

"Our country is too large to have all its affairs directed by a single government. Public servants at such a distance, and from under the eye of their constituents, must, from the circumstance of distance, be unable to administer and overlook all the details necessary for the good government of the citizens; and the same circumstance, by rendering detection impossible to their constituents, will invite public agents to corruption, plunder and waste."

            
       --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800.

pledging allegiance to your hero Obamo

So because I pointed out how useless your comments truly are that's pledging allegiance to Obummer?

Well we know that jamcusa won't secede everyone who has ever followed you and Idabumpkin and wannabeway know that you'll never leave your computer long enough to bathe much less form your own country.

Seeing as you're replying at 4 in the morning, I'm guessing your downloading of animal porn is going slowly too LOL
