For those of you who aren’t aware, here are some other choice lines from the poem CVA chooses to quote from as his tagline.
I hates the Constitution, this “Great Republic,” too!...
I hates the Declaration of Independence, too!...
And I hates their striped banner, and I fit it all I could.

So proclaiming undying hatred of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the American flag is apparently viewed by some around here as the acme of patriotism.
Odd, that.
I’ll cut some slack for the author of the poem. He had been defeated and was understandably and forgivably defiant and resentful.
But I will never understand those who choose to resurrect such sentiments from a long-buried past.
I'll bet this HUGE Federal Govt sign bothers you....
I won’t claim to speak for the departed Major James Innes Randolf CSA, but my guess is that he wouldn’t care for anyone giving him “slack”, he didn’t need or want your forgiveness.
