Lazy b*****d, isn't he?

They all are. Look at any thread where the Wlat Brigade posts. They recycle their anti-south cut n' pastes verbatim. (Note: the Wlat Brigade is a small group of FR regulars headed by Wlat, aka poster WhiskeyPapa, an admitted Bill Clinton voter and active liberal democrat disrupter who posts here)

When you've only got one argument and not a lot of actual data to back it up, it's not lazy, it's a necessary rewording to make it look like there's more than one argument

BTW, my father is a teacher here in NC (8th grade NC history). Every year they have to go to another seminar telling them what will be taught and how it will be taught statewide. He said the guy leading the conference used this same tired old argument when discussing the War using meaningless graphs, charts, and maps. What was funny is when I talked with my father that night, he made the statement something to the effect that two years ago, he would have believed the line and gone on to teach the material exactly as the state requested. However since we have been discussing the true underlying causes for the war, he said he teaches more truth than fable. Said he still has a warm place in his heart for the northern tyrant after listening to the myths for 60 years and it being the only point of view he ever knew. But it's a good sign nonetheless

Good to know some eighth graders are getting an education instead of a worn out lie
