Er... wasn't there are recent news story about Romania embracing socialism once again?

Terrorism and murder are for those who have no faith in their own people or their own cause.

You apparently weren't paying attention to the last election.

Er... wasn't there are recent news story about Romania embracing socialism once again?

Hmmm, and that has what to do with my point?

[stand watie]

once more, you are trying to avoid THE TRUTH (but fooling FEW on FR), which is that there are NO "good numbers" ANYWHERE for the numbers of either slaves or "free persons of color" in NORTH and/or SOUTH until well AFTER the WBTS. (about 50 YEARS after)

the census data of the 19th century is as PHONY as the hate-FILLED,simplistic, PROPAGANDA spewed out by the members of your "DAMNyankee coven of bigots,fools,nitwits,south-HATERS/etc.

i'm well aware of the fact that you SAY (and thereby KNOWINLY LIE to everyone here - you are NOT stupid/ignorant, just willing to LIE like a rug.) that you KNOW. you do NOT & neither does ANYONE else now living.

when the Inter-library Loan people send it to me. that's when.

NOW, i have a question for YOU:

WHAT do you believe were the hundred thousand plus FREE Blacks, who bravely fought for the CSA, fighting FOR???

is it your contention that they were fighting to "preserve chattel slavery"

and/or

do you believe that those "Blacks in gray" were just TOO STUPID to know what they were fighting for????

Harper’s Ferry is not far from me.
I’ve been to the “shrine” dedicated to him many times.

[and should probably make no further comments]....>:-]

[stand watie]

speaking of "shrines", have you seen the Heywood Sheppard monument, that the UDC erected???

fwiw, the last time i was in HF, the park service had the monument "covered up" with a black plywood box, because they couldn't get away with actually REMOVING it (the monument belongs to the UDC.).

[Salamander]

Haven’t been there in a few years.

I reckon if you can’t change history, you can always hide it.

HF is definitely on my “go to” list this summer.

Been a while since I paid tribute to ol’ JB, any way....:)

[Salamander]

Last I heard, he “was a’moulderin’ in his grave”.....;-D

They sacked some town and were literally “hacked to death with broadswords” in return.

Nope.
Nuthin’ psychopathic, barbaric, un-Christian or aberrant, there.

PLEASE place flowers at Sheppard's monument, while there. (i'll pay for the flowers.)

decorating his monument with flowers REALLY irks the "PC fools" & south-HATERS.

So much of your post parallels what’s happening *here* right *now* and it *is* going to get much worse...possibly to the point of rebellion.

If Obama’s coming goon squad decides that any of your posts here were “inflammatory” or “inciting” and come and hack you to death with machetes, you’ll be okay with that?

[Salamander]

The institution of slavery existed for 4 years under the ~Confederate~ flag.

How long did it exist under the ~US~ flag?

How many ~northern~ slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation?

[Salamander]

I absolutely will leave a fitting tribute to such a man of honor and honesty....even more so because he was the innocent victim of a madman’s Machiavellian schemes.

[I’ll also leave something permanent but not visible so that the PC maggots won’t just chuck it out 5 minutes after I leave]

First day it’s warm enough to take the Harleys there, it will be done and I will let you know when I return.

[and I’ll have photos!]....;D

[Dead Corpse]

Your “peaceful” revolution didn’t last long.

[Liberty Valance]

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

[TexConfederate1861]

Good. and his soul is paying the price for murder.

[Arkinsaw]

Your “peaceful” revolution didn’t last long.

And explain in a logical fashion how a non-peaceful one started by a terrorist incident would have lasted longer?

[Dead Corpse]

230 years of US history.

Next question...

[stand watie]

THANKS.
