dsc: "That’s what you could say, if you were sufficiently committed to the truth. I’m not holding my breath."

And yet the fact remains that you cannot logically support the Confederacy without supporting the basic reason for its existence: to protect & expand the institution of slavery.
Once you say that slavery was wrong, then the Confederacy has no reason for existence, and you have no cause to defend, FRiend.

That's why you are embarrassing.

“And yet the fact remains that you cannot logically support the Confederacy without supporting the basic reason for its existence: to protect & expand the institution of slavery.”

And that is the error to which you cling like Linus to his security blanket. I don’t find it embarrassing though; I find it contemptible, like any other refusal to confront unwelcome facts.
