If Southern conservatives consider the Civil War to have been unjust, then:

1. They cannot be Republicans.
2. They should not be Republicans.
3. It's time to ride them out of the Party.

I invite each of you to the thread with the culmination of events at post 75

Comments?

I invited some others to our friendly thread. Many of them had ancestors who fought for both sides in the WBTS. Many of them live in the South, many of them do not. Many of them are contributors to FR and the GOP, many of them are not.

I am curious to hear their reaction to your statements in post 75.

what an INCREDIBLY DUMB & ill-informed post.

BUT you are intitled to hold any opinion, even one as SILLY as yours.

please kick us southrons out of the GOP. we'll go start a new and conservative party. when/if we do, both the GOP & the DIMocRATS will never win another nation-wide election.

both current parties will cease to be national parties & will become "a party of neo-conservatives, that can carry the country club vote" and NOBODY else AND a "party of the most extreme leftist/socialist sort, leading a few hundred thousand of the "poorest of the poor" & some "organized labor lunatics".

THAT will hasten dixie LIBERTY, like nothing else the damnyankee elites can do.

As well they shouldn't or dare I say want to. The fruition of lincoln's big government Whig beliefs has come to the forefront with the latest rendition of the Republican Party. No longer do they even try to hide it (Gillespie), they just promise more than the 'other guy' promises. Southern conservatives, nor any conservative worth their salt, should want to be a member of a big government party anymore

And you shouldn't have to worry about 'riding them out of the Party'. The big government policies of many if not all Republican officials at the national level are doing that all on their own

Thanks for the ping Stainlessbanner.

First, I don't look at the WBTS in a judgemental context. As a Georgian, I hold no grudge against Sherman or Lincoln, nor the thousands of Union soldiers whose graves inhabit the ground around here. Because I would want the same from an ancestor of one of those union soldiers that one of my ancestors may have killed.

No matter who we feel was right or wrong, nothing is to be gained by insulting long dead men.

That being said, Mr. "Wizard", without southern conservatives, there is no GOP majority or President.
