Southern pride rising ... rankling

The states with the largest numbers of members were Indiana and Illinois at one time. There's still far more klan activity in those states than there is in the South. The klan is on the same side as the SPLC and NAACP. Without each other, none of them could exist.

[Kozak]

In five years I should be ready to emigrate to my spiritual homeland, Virginia. I wonder if I'll need a visa?

[ladtx]

Texas southern bump for later reading.

[WhiskeyPapa]

Nonsense. Delaware is a northern state, no matter how you spin it.

And a slave state, where writing Jim Crow laws was as natural as breathing.

You tried to skew perception of these events through disinformation and you got caught.

[Twodees]

That is an outright lie. I made a plainly worded statement. Where do you think Delaware is? In the South? Almost every single eastern state was a slave state at one time or another, so if any of them adopted Jim Crow, they're automatically part of the South so that Jim Crow can be a Southern phenomenon?

You don't do much face to face debating, do you?

[WhiskeyPapa]

That is an outright lie. I made a plainly worded statement.

You made a plainly worded statement designed to distort the record.

I know you've really tried. I know you are intelligent. I know you are honorable. Why, why, do you try to debate this moron? while he occassionally makes a legit point he more often ignores legitimate points made by others, chosing instead to change the subject or obfiscate. It's like arguing with a drunk. You could hit him over the head with the truth and he would argue that it didn't count because the blow was not administered properly. Sometimes you just gotta accept that some people will not accept the truth and move on.

Southern Pride is the only American Pride left

I'll beg to differ ... this Californian is DAMNED proud to be an American

[stevio]

Here's one Yankee who will defend your right to acknowledge your history and past. Screw the PC liberals! Fly the flag.

[clamper1797]

The Confederates were merely defending their home states from a government they viewed as oppressive

And they were right ... unfortunately they had'nt know just how oppressive it would get in later years or General Lee would NOT have surrendered ... per his statements after the war.

[clamper1797]

I fly my Stars and Bars right next to my Stars and Stripes on my deck EVERY DAY right here in the Peoples Republic of Kaliforistan

[Lee'sGhost]

Your wife and daughter are black? No kidding? I sometimes wish my wife was black so I could use it as a zinger in these "mulitcultural" classes that assume all white males are racist. I do live in a "black" neighborhood so I use that instead.

[Twodees]

I know better than to debate him. What I'm doing is letting him show his ignorance enough that there will be no reprieve from the site owner the next time this moron gets drunk and makes a profane atack on people. That's right, an AM banned him and the site owner put him back on in within hours.

Anyway, he only gets me to engage him by butting in when I'm responding to someone else. He's a communist, and he, along with all of his little sniffling neocon pals are showing themselves beautifully here lately.

[Twodees]

Yep, both of my beloved ladies are the loveliest shade of brown I've ever seen. Being blessed with the love of those two is what I'm grateful for more than anything.

My wife is descended from a branch of the Hairston family, which is well known in Virginia and North Carolina as a family made up of every shade of color that occurs in the South and they proudly gather together, white, black, tan and brown for reunions. I'm happy to be included as a cousin among all the rest of the cousins in her family by virtue of my marriage. I have some married kin who I wish I had grown up with as blood kin.

If the sh*t truly ever hits the fan in our country and it comes down to fighting a war on our land, it will be the SOUTHENERS who will save the country from tyranny!

I don't know, when the sh*t hit the fan back in 1861 it was the Northerners who kept the country from being split apart.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Southern pride. It can be hurt, but it will never cease.

[PatrioticAmerican]

You mean like the USSR did? "For the union..." BS. The North was simply greedy. It never had a thing to do with "country".

[Non-Sequitur]

BS. The North was simply greedy. It never had a thing to do with "country".

Sure it did. For the North it was all about preserving the Union. For the south it was about preserving slavery.

Mark Potok, editor of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report in Montgomery, Ala. And the size scares him. "You have 9,000 and 15,000-person membership rolls, huge groups littered with PhDs, doctors, and lawyers, which are vastly more politically dangerous than any Klan or neo-Nazi group could ever be."

Politically dangerous to whom, you Socialist, Statist Puke?

God help anyone that has a different opinion than the SPL...and thank God for the First Amendment...
