I’m sometimes asked, as a Civil War buff, to explain my attraction to the period. I usually reply with a line I heard years ago, “That’s the last time it was legal to shoot democrats. “

No offence meant to the moonlight and magnolia brigade here at FR, but there’s something to the sentiment.

I get tired of having to remind people that George Wallace was a democrat, Lester Maddox was a democrat, Bull Conner was a democrat, Bull Conner’s dogs were democrats, and every Ku Kluxer who ever soiled a sheet was a democrat.

But this WH aide is “too smart” to have bothered to learn any history.

That sort of comment won't endear you to the Lost Cause contingent here at FreeRepublic....lol
