You mean the history books all have it wrong and the federal troops manning Ft. Sumter actually opened fire on the city of Charleston first?

In order for your actions to be justified, does the armed invader have to kill your family before you can defend them? Just wondering.

You can always tell a neo-Confederate — but you can't tell him much.

Well of course. It's the 'responsibility' for living under such a wonderful Empire in that we should allow armed invaders full access to kill, maim, and destroy property at whim. Only afterwards may we question our oppressive government and then only how they want us to run our government in occupied lands. And if they're real nice they'll only keep troops in our lands for 10-15 years.

And for the record, I'm talking about the Confederacy (although it may seem strangely familiar given current events)
