You may have a point about the Breaking News thing, but I still have a point that you, sir, are apparently a carpetbagger.

You're entitled to your opinion, as well as your deluded belief that your "heritage" means celebrating criminals who rebelled against the United States.

...it sure is good to hear about Southerners winningwhining about one for a changeas usual.

God bless the United States of America and protect her from all enemies, foreign OR DOMESTIC.

Are you implying I am a domestic criminal because I love my heritage and defend the honor of the South? Let me ask you, sir, how many years did you give to this country in the form of military service? Hmmmmm...'cause I gave 11. What's your service-related disability rating, hmmmm? 'Cause mine's 30%. That means I was permanently hurt in the line of duty, in case you don't know what that means.

I'm hardly a criminal, carpetbagger. I love this country more than almost anything else, and beleive in her principles wholeheartedly (despite the fact that few of our elected "leaders" seem to anymore, or back in 1861). I believe that even South-hating carpetbagging dipsticks like you have the right to live wherever they want, even in Texas, and have the right to mouth whatever moroninc tripe they wish. Heck, I'll even die to defend your right to do so.

But because I stand firm in my belief that the South had every right to throw off the oppression of the North, and that there's nowhere in this great land of ours where I'd rather live, doesn't make me a racist, a slaveowner, a KKK sympathizer, or a criminal... just a Southerner who loves his heritage.

One final thought...I bet you don't say much around Katy, Texas. Your Yankee accent, which you surely must have, would draw attention from the "natives", they'd slap you on the back and say "welcome to Texas", or some other such greeting, and then you'd be forced to recognize how friendly they truly are (like most Southerners). Our knuckles don't drag the ground, either.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

And against the loony-tunes who purport they are patriots......

I hate to say this but more crimes have been committed under the Stars & Stripes than ever under the Confederate Flag. Also people in this country can be fired,and made a criminal for using the N word but going into these fellows rooms and trashing it because a TV offended him is very much for one to take. God Bless all TVs.
