Non Sequitur was banned if that’s what you meant. Idabilly (and other Lost Causers) sees ghosts and boogieman behind every tree now - even I have been accused of being NS. It’s only a matter of time before he accuses you too LOL.
Bedford wad born in Chapel Hill TN but left for MS as a boy. He then made life tween Ripley..
Memphis and Cohoma county
Excellent speech by Gen. Forrest and very daring to kiss the young lady.
What irks me most is how the Left absolutely howls in protest whenever the Civil War is mentioned. Every little thing dealing with the war is instantly painted as racist and a reminder of slavery. Ridiculous.
Soldiers on both sides fought and died as soldiers and should be honored as such. How they handled their personal affairs before and after the war, and who did the actual work on their farms, is immaterial.
Slavery was wrong and we’ve put it behind us. So get over it already!
“It’s only a matter of time before he accuses you too LOL.”
LOL! That could be interesting.
Cheers.
He snuck back in. He's K-stater now. Check out post #8 then search K-stater and read a few of his replies and you'll soon realize that it's the old non-sequitur.
I thought that you wanted to raise the discourse?
It appears to me that you, nor your comrades, are capable.

Like any good boogieman, he is as rich and powerful as you imagination allows. And every time one of you pokes at the ashes or intones the name “Non Sequitur” he grows fiercer.
He is only a wolf or a monster because people like you make him so.
Gotta go. . . work is calling. Thanks for all the great art!
rockrr, why would someone that holds himself out as conservative (like yourself,) want someone that is at worse (Left of Obama,) and at best Michael Bloomberg in person posting here?
We all know about your liberal tendencies, but I doubt even you believe as he did that for our service male/females should share sleeping quarters with a queeny or pierced nose bull dike on a submarine. I'm probably wrong here, since you celebrated the end of (DADT).....
Soldiers: The old campaign is ended, and your Commanding General deems this an appropriate occasion to speak of the steadiness, self-denial and patriotism with which you have borne the hardships of the past year. The marches and labors you have performed during that period will find no parallel in the history of this war.
On the 24th day of December, there were three thousand of you, unorganized and undisciplined, at Jackson, Tennessee, only four hundred of whom were armed. You were surrounded by fifteen thousand of the enemy, who were congratulating themselves on your certain capture. You started out with your artillery, wagon trains, and a large number of cattle, which you succeeded in bringing through, since which time you have fought and won the following battles -- battles which will enshrine your names in the hearts of your countrymen, and live in history, an imperishable monument to your prowess:
Jack's Creek, Estinaula, Summerville, Okalona, Union City, Paducah, Fort Pillow, Bolivar, Tishomingo Creek, Harrisburg, Hurricane Creek, Memphis, Athens, Sulphur Creek, Pulaski, Carter's Creek, Columbia, and Jacksonville are the fields on which you won fadeless immortality.
For twenty-six days from the time you left Florence, on the twenty-first of November, to the twenty-sixth of December, you were constantly engaged with the enemy, and endured the hunger, cold and labor incident to that arduous campaign without a murmur.
To sum up, in brief, your triumphs during the past year, you have fought fifty battles, killed and captured sixteen thousand of the enemy, captured two thousand horses and mules, sixty-seven pieces of artillery, four gunboats, fourteen transports, twenty barges, three hundred wagons, fifty ambulances, ten thousand stand of small arms, forty blockhouses, destroyed thirty-six railroad bridges, two hundred miles of railroad, six engines, one hundred cars, and fifteen millions dollars worth of property.
In the accomplishment of this great work, you were occasionally sustained by other troops, who joined you in the fight, but your regular number never exceeded five thousand, two thousand of whom have been killed or wounded, while in prisoners you have lost about two hundred.

Since you asked....your characterization of him is as blatantly dishonest now as it ever was. Non Sequitur was easily twice the conservative that you will ever be. As a matter of fact, I've never seen an expression of conservationism coming from you. You would do well to tend to your own fences first.
Here's another newsflash: libertarianism isn't conservatism. They may look similar ("limited government""lower taxes") but they're not the same. You are (at best) a liberaltarian.
We all know about your liberal tendencies, but I doubt even you believe as he did that for our service male/females should share sleeping quarters with a queeny or pierced nose bull dike on a submarine. I'm probably wrong here, since you celebrated the end of (DADT).....
Another day, another idabilly slander. In this one you managed to slam me and NS in the same sentence. Bravo. Also utter bravo Sierra. NS never said or implied any such thing and you know it. And you are a liar to state that I ever supported the repeal of DADT. Even a cursory review of my post demonstrates your disingenuity.
The fact that you conflate where I live with assumed "liberal tendencies" shows the limited depth of thought that you bring to the table.
No wonder no one takes you seriously.
I must give him his due: he was excellent at breaking things and killing people.
