Well lets see
Who is one of our best allies in Iraq... Briton we had our first war with them, and a second to boot. What about one of our best allies in the Pacific heck they surprise attacked us and we nuked them.
Yes, we let go of wars over time!
The war over the right to fly the Confederate flag on the state capital grounds or states rights — as stated in Post 33 which prompted your response. (Damn, you’re not gonna do that thing where you can’t keep up with your own comments again, are you?)
“All the aggressive actions were on the part of the South.”
I can only assume that you are referring to actually War Between the States rather than the hypothetical one — but who knows? “ALL” of the aggressive actions were on the part of the South? LOL! Even you know better than that.
With the strength of southern boys in the United States military I think the south is probably the military’s best resource. Let’s just work together to fight an even bigger threat to our country. The enemy is within our own government.
How do you figure that? The once solidly Democratic south is now solidly conservative Republican from the Ohio river to the gulf of Mexico, and from the Virginia coast to the AZ desert. Take away the former Confederate states and politically speaking the northeastern states would be just an extension of Canada.
But I am a little surprised by the size of the opposition in some of the western states. A large percentage of the original settlers in much of the west were southerners who were dispossessed of their homes and property by Yankee carpetbaggers and southern scalawags during the 15 year long era of vengeful Reconstruction tyranny enforced on white southerners by Yankee bayonets. If that fool Booth had not murdered Lincoln I believe the south would have fared much better after the war.
Replace it with the BONNIE BLUE FLAG!
Slavery?
Oh please.
Another Civil War?
Another? There was never a first 'civil war'. (look up the definition of 'civil war')
You scoff at the Confederate flag issue. "Remove it from the Capital grounds!", you scream. But that won't satisfy you libs. You'll want it banned from all public display because you see it as a devisive symbol, and to hell with the 1st Amendment (or any other amendment) when we're talking about offending a certain segment of the US population.
Actually it would be more like ESPN telling South Carolina what to do. Nowhere in this article is any suggestion that the federal government tell South Carolina to take the flag down. Unless I missed it somewhere.
“ALL” of the aggressive actions were on the part of the South? LOL! Even you know better than that.
Point out the aggressive acts on the part of the North for me.
Then why post banal comments? Or more important, why do I bother responding to your banal comments?
“Point out the aggressive acts on the part of the North for me.”
Uh, how about almost every attack the north perpetrated upon the South? What, are you saying that sending troops to the South and attacking southerners were defensive moves?
Can’t blame you for not wanting to be called a “damn yankee”. I personally reserve that title for the ones who want to continue forcing their liberal views on the south.
It's called fighting the war that the other side started. Or are you saying that merely hanging on to your own property is an act of war?
Yeah. You’re right. Can’t argue with such astounding logic. Sending a ship to resupply a fort that no longer belongs to you certainly isn’t an act of agression. Nope.
How about you call them what I call southern liberals like Al Gore, Bubba, Jimma Catah..... Damn Liberals..
Who said the fort no longer belonged to them? What rule of law will transfer ownership without the owners consent and without compensation?
Refusing to sit back and allow the South to steal whatever federal property they could get their mitts on is not an act of aggression.
Interestingly, CA and SC are exact opposites (63-37 and 37-63).
I really need to move to SC.

to BE a DAMNyankee you MUST:
1. BE one of the LOUD-mouthed,10-15% of northerners, who are truly south-HATERS,
2. BELIEVE that southerners & the south are INFERIOR to the north & northerners,
3. BELIEVE southern institutions are NATURALLY inferior to similar things/places "up there",
4.BE an UNthinking, sanctimonious BIGOT &
5. BE unwilling to learn the truth about the south & southerners.
as my grandfather used to say: "a DAMNyankee is a BIGOT & if they were NOT prejudiced against the southland, they would be some other sort of empty-headed BIGOT".
IF you would prefer NOT to be called a DAMNyankee, then don't think/act like one.

btw, "al BORE" is a SCALAWAG & is UNwelcome in "polite company" anywhere in dixie. DC is welcome to him.
