"To say that the war between the states was fought over slavery is like saying the American Revolution was fought over tea,"

"While I'm a believer in the traditional Southern view of states' rights, and believe that Mr. Dunshee has a right to move to change the name of the highway in his state," wrote Jeff Adams from Houston, "I don't think he should be so angry, intolerant and bigoted about it."

That's about all we can say about it unless a bunch of us moved to Washington.

Dunshee is a waste of human flesh. He is trying to curry favor among the black voters of that state. However, if you look at Washington State's populace you will find it is a hotbed of liberalism and PC whores.

I think that the Southern States should, by all means, boycott the State of Washington. Don't buy their damn apples, or travel there. Don't support the Seattle Sonics, Mariners, or Seahawks. Don't buy their logo apparel. Send nasty grams to the State, and blockade their borders .... do like the NAACP is planning to do to SC.

Unless I've forgotten my American history (or gotten something mixed up) was Jefferson the Secretary of War during the time that the US and Britain were engaged in a pi$$ing contest over the exact border between Canada and the United States out in that area? Wasn't Pickett (of later Pickett's Charge fame at Gettysburg) a captain or lieutenant in the US Army at the time facing British regulars along the border, ready (almost eager) to fight the Brits in the event border talks weren't successful? Wasn't this where the old "54'40" Or Fight" motto came from?

Easy enough to see why there might be a Jefferson Davis Highway in Washington State ... some of the state would be missing if it hadn't been for him and George Pickett.

"My resolve has only increased," Dunshee said Wednesday.

The entire state of Washington, in particular, the western side of the state in which Dunshee resides, is a politically correct socialist state controlled by leftist wackos. And the amazing thing is, the people just keep electing more of 'em! The result? Washington has the 4th highest taxes in the nation - and the governor and politicians are clamnoring for more. And, they'll get what they want. The voters in the western part of the state - "Bougeois Bolshevik" yuppie liberals - have the votes to force the citizens in the rest of the state to go along with their socialist utopia vision. I am afraid the state is doomed.

and slavery caused the WBTS in the same way that fish cause floods.
