I think you've got the wrong website.

Maybe he's a victim of Yankee public education, and doesn't realize how badly the so-called "civil war" destroyed the Constitution.

If so, I'm living proof that there's hope for him yet. I used to think the Confederate flag was a symbol of racism and our nation's darkest hour. Now, I know it represents states' rights and the Constitution.

I couldn't possibly agree with you more but, you have to be from the south to understand that. The Confederate Battle Banner is sacred to me and a lot of others I know. It has been misused and misrepresented for too long.But hell, even a yankee should be able to grasp that.

WRONG!

I don't believe the Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia had anything to do with slavery; but there is no doubt it had to do with the separation of this country--you know the one we recite as "ONE nation under God, INDIVISIBLE with liberty and justice for all" when we say the pledge of allegiance. Here is something better than the starry cross of St. Andrew for Southerners to believe in:

Southern girls know bad manners when they see them:
Drinking straight out of a can.

That unforgettable, Southern drawl.

"Yes, ma'am."

Southern girls have a distinct way with fond expressions:
"Y'all come back!"
"Well, bless your heart."
"Drop by when you can."
