SORRY, but i don't agree. the leaders of the antebellum southland were, in the main, HONORABLE men, who TRIED to serve their constituents to the best of their ability. today's LOUTS that "serve the citizens" mostly serve THEMSELVES.

you might want to check out what the ETERNAL CHRIST said about "rich men", camels & needles.

what i probably DESPISE more than anything is HYPOCRYTES!

MANY of the DAMNyankee ELITISTS wanted to condemn EVERY southerner for "the institution of slavery" (even though the VAST majority of southerners owned NO slaves), while at the SAME time those same arrogant,SELF-righteous, sanctimonious,DYs were IN "the flesh trade".

I seem to remember a passage by Shakespeare about honorable men. I believe the Bard was writing about Brutus and Cassius. As did the leaders of the South in 1860, B & C unleashed a war that caused Roman to kill Roman and are justifiably damned for their actions.

It must be wonderful to be free of all hypocrisy. Purity of motives is always refreshing, especially to a man my age. However, since you introduced the name of Jesus, please remember that He cautioned people to remove the logs in their own eyes before attempting to remove the specks in the eyes of others.

Another trait I’ve noticed in some black people is the habit of damning white people while secretly admiring them. Unfortunately, this tendency had crept into the personalities of far too many white Southerners when the talk or think about their fellow Americans who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
The war fought between 1860-1865 is over. Get used to it.
