A highlight of the reunion was the Confederate Veterans walk on the path of Gen. George Pickett’s charge that was greeted, this time, by a handshake from the Union Veterans.

You’re a disgusting pig cva and unfit for decent company. But you do have a right to your opinion - no matter how depraved.

Is this a great country or what?!

Well the lower half anyway, 1861-1865.

[rockrr]

And that’s what I like about you - always betting on a losing hand.

[central_va]

We all lost a republic.

You’re having a bad day, like Grant at Cold Harbor....

I'm having a fine day. I'm just pointing out that after posts like this and this and this you're the last person in the world to be accusing others of hatred and bile.

[rockrr]

It’s still there - a bit dented and tarnished but still valuable to normal people. I can see why you would want out.

That’s just this thread. cva’s been winning friends and influencing people in a similar fashion all over the site ;-)

I restrict my comments to my long past Southern brethren motivation.

What motivated the Blue Belly is a mystery that I care not to delve into. I would not disparage their cause, some utopian concept of union, or freeing blacks or whatever. They can had their reasons I guess. The Yankee was a formidable foe and never lacked for courage that often did not make up for the stupidity of their leadership. That is sad, for them.

Are you following me again?

Don’t be a complete moron.

LOL!!!! Except for that turd fascination of yours.

They were motivated by love of country. A sentiment totally foreign to you.

Funny way of showing love that, with double canister and minie balls.

What were they supposed to fight the war that the South started with? Spitballs and water balloons?

[central_va]

Well you called it love not me. Like I said i don’t get it.

[0.E.O]

Well you called it love not me. Like I said i don’t get it.

And, with all due respect, I wouldn't expect you to. Like I said, love of country is a concept that is totally alien to you. I would no more expect you to fathom that concept that you would expect me to understand the depths of your hatred for all things Yankee.

And blinded by bigotry, you likely never will.

And blinded by bigotry, you likely never will.

What kind of idiotic comment is that? Show me where CVA is a bigot. Or are you grouping anyone who had a confederate soldier ancestor a bigot?

[catfish1957]

CVA...there is a reason that we get grief from these southern hating pukes. Like their area, and their NE US politicians, they are nothing but Statist RINO's, who secretly probably love Obama's trampling of the constitution, just like their hero Lincoln, and war criminal Sherman.

Arguing with them is pointless.

Everyone needs a cheap hobby.

[central_va]

I don’t think you mean bigot in the racial sense, right?
