Thursday, January 19, 2012, is the 205th birthday of General Robert E. Lee, whose memory is still dear in the hearts of people everywhere.

Ain’t he the most? “Johnny Reb wannabes, that’s what I call ‘em ‘’Mike’’. I’d love to have a time machine and drop one of these Reb-wannabe’s back in 1861. I’ll guarantee you in fifteen minutes they’ll be screaming like banshees to get the hell out of there!

You know it and I know it. Wannabes and I call these threads Civil War Truther threads - because as we know with the 9/11 truthers, 'truth' such as it is, is in short supply around here...

My name really is Mike though ;)

I wouldn’t waste time with the usual jackasses here.

I wouldn't waste the time either, especially since I read your post on the Woman drives for help after being shot in head thread:

my buddies who shot me in the head once were well mannered enough to actually take me to the Hospital in Greenwood Mississippi afterwards

'Nuff said.

If the south and southerners were so bad why is it that all these people move down here?

Of course their arrogance kicks in down here and tells southerners how they should do thin gs because that is how they did things up north.

One thing which pisses me off.
One of the sexiest accents in this world having traveled and lived in a few countries is the southern accent on a woman and yet some try and loose their accent.
Why.

Who called who "jackasses"?

If the south and southerners were so bad why is it that all these people move down here?

Because the economy is better, and because old folks like the weather, and because you lost the war 150 years ago, and because you've changed so much in the last 50 years or so.

Nobody's moving South because they think that Jefferson Davis was right.

[manc]

no one said that did they?

Why does everything here about the Civil War sooner or later end up with you guys talking about how much better you think things are down there nowadays?

Northerners moving South now or Southerners trying to lose their accents don't have much to do with the rights and wrongs of what happened 150 years ago.

[manc]

because many down here are just pissed off with those who move down here and spout what is said on here.

So when some southerners read the usual crap then think of those they have met who have moved down here and spout the same.

As for your last line, well you’re right it doesn’t have much to do with it.
