So, what if you are not a “neo-Confederate”...but just an average person who believes these or similar points? Are they still “myths”?

Or do you have to start off such discussions by moronically making up categories of people?

If so, what do neo-Federalist/communists believe?

Thanks.

How does that old saying go? "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... then it's a... what"?

I didn't make up the term "Neo-Confederate", and I also use the term "Pro-Confederate" which strictly speaking is not quite the same.

I would give a "Pro-Confederate" some credit for honesty if they know their history and are willing to confess it truthfully.

But a "Neo-Confederate" is a political category which begins with the idea of distorting actual history to project today's debates back in time to the Civil War.
Neo-Confederates hope to make Black Republican "Ape" Lincoln the original Obama, imposing socialism and putting Americans on "big gubmint's plantation."
In the Neo-Conf version, Jeff Davis fought back for Freedom, Liberty and the Constitution against Lincoln's unwarranted invasions of the peaceful South.
So Lincoln is Obama and Davis, oh, I don't know, maybe Barry Goldwater, or Ronald Reagan?

You'll have to ask your Democrat friends about that, FRiend.
