As for the present: Your desire to stir old wounds, argue in a mean spirit questions on which many American Conservatives have a very different viewpoint, is hardly calculated to help us work together to oust Obama. Your anti-Southern style of rant went out of style by the Spanish American War; I have no idea why you feel a need to revive it 114 years later!
Frankly, your opinions smack more of the likes of Thad Stevens, who would likely have been in Obama's cabinet, if he were not dead--and more likely in Hell.
I desire to stir old wounds? Surely you jest. It isn’t me who posted this article or any other Civil War thread. Whom ever does should know to expect disagreement. Who have I insulted? A man who has been dead for 142 years? And sorry to disappoint you but I am not ‘anti-Southern’’. I’m anti-Confederate and again to old wounds, it’s those who put up these paeans of praise to Southern secessionists who are keeping the wounds open. American conservatives honoring Southern Dixiecrats, now there’s irony for you. And what in the name of Sam Hill does anything of this have to do with getting rid of Obama? Myself, my friends and family will be beating down the doors on Election Day to vote the scoundrel out of office. Are you trying sub-rosa here i to imply I’m a Democrat? Please, get real.
