[Twodees]

Funny and thought provoking. Good satire.

[aomagrat]

Thanks for the bump. What a riot!

[WhowasGustavusFox]

I cannot believe this entire article did not even mention Gustavus Fox even once. But we should not be surprised. Lincoln didn't either.

[LadyJD]

Wonderful satire and, best of all, historically accurate!

This is sure to have Whiskey-Zits and Non-Sense howling.

Now how about some contemporaneous quotes from "Copperhead" and other pro-freedom Northern Newpapers on the Bill Clinton of that era, APE LINKUM?

You got them for us {grin}?

[WhowasGustavusFox]

"This is sure to have Whiskey-Zits and Non-Sense howling."

Not responding to an article on Lincoln and the Confederacy. Astounding!

[WhowasGustavusFox]

"and, best of all, historically accurate!"

I think they know it, and are not seeing any humor in this.

[WhiskeyPapa]

He just wants to get back to the business of collecting the tariffs that pay for the government, 75% resulting from the sale of Southern grown goods.

Well, this whole article is pretty nonsensical but taxing the product of any state is strictly forbidden under the Constitution.

<"...and, best of all, historically accurate!

If LadyJD said it then the opposite must be the case. Every time I attract her attention I realize what it was about southern women that caused Ben Butler to issue his General Order 28.

I'll let you have this one to yourself, Pea. It was mildly amusing the last time but you milked it too much then. On a related note have you seen this link ? I was wondering if you were supporting the Aryan Nations guy for president of the SCV or the other guy.

[WhowasGustavusFox]

Didn't say that. It said that cotton and tobacco produced 75% of the entire revenue of the US government.

[LadyJD]

Looks like the resident inveterate serfs
finally wandered on over to this thread.

Both of them have admitted, on other threads, that they believe the U.S. Constitution forbids self determination. Doesn't matter one whit to them the duplicitous and opposite statements made by their hero Ape Linkum on the matter. I think they are JBTs posing as "conservatives".

[WhowasGustavusFox]

Hello Non, and welcome back. I saw that posting. I think that situation is much more complex than the two candidates. I also see it as being a political exercise, not one in which I have interest. But by virtue of your question, I would say that I am interested in a full discussion of the facts of the events leading up to the war.

[WhowasGustavusFox]

"It was mildly amusing the last time but you milked it too much then"

I don't remember you questioning the facts either on that one or this one.

[WhowasGustavusFox]

As was true then as it is now, there are many who are students of the John Adams, "big government is best", Federalist faction.

[WhowasGustavusFox]

You know, these guys are defeated. I didn't think that they could argue against this post when I read it.

[Non-Sequitur]

I didn't see any facts to question last time, Pea, nor any this time. Just opinion, supposition, and LadyJD foaming at the mouth again.

[LadyJD]

For a fun time pin Non_Sense down on secession. I.E. whether or not it is valid in the context of a people, by a majority vote, leaving the U. S. compact and establishing a new (and improved) government for themselves and their progeny.

He/she/it argues that because the U. S. Constitution doesn't specifically authorize it that it is treason.

Go figure.

On one hand he and his ilk claim to believe in the works of the Founders and the Declaration of Independence yet on the other hand that ilk argues that the present U. S. gummint, once conceived, should exist in perpetuity EVEN IF IT BECOMES TYRANNICAL.

These pukes should go swill King George's hogs!

[WhowasGustavusFox]

You can quote Butler's general orders, Early's troop movements, the military courts actions in Maryland, but were just unable to pull from your memory knowledge of Lincoln's secret mission to re-supply Ft. Sumter by force, and the name of the civilian he used to conduct the mission.

Acting as if you are unaware of the facts does not make the points of this article suppostion. You don't get the Emmy for contrived ignorance.
