"What I want to know is why don't they go after the descendants of the men who sold them into slavery? You know, the tribes of Africa that sold their enemies and are now in power in places like Zimbabwe, where they're chasing white farmers out of the nation"

There you go again, muddying up their issue with facts. When will you ever learn? < /sarcasm >

Did up Sherman and Grant and take them to court. Take what you get from them and give it to every single living southerner who personally suffered material damages from the actions of the Union army. You know, the same kind of offer made on all these black reparations posts. Until you can agree to that then DiLusional's reparations cause is just as phony and just as bogus as N'Cobra's. And until you can show a better reason than N'Cobra can I'll have to assume you support their cause, too.

LOL!! Good Lord man!! I was just joking with you (well partially). However if you want to get technical, slave trade could be said to only be condoned by the US government, not a direct action of the US government, as the illegal attack on women, children, and property was by the union army. They were working directly for the US government. I say we call it square. I don't want anyone's money, and heck the LAST place I would want it from is the government of these United States. That would in effect continue the crutch of burden that Hamilton and Clay called for, and lincoln instituted.

Yeah, but I don't see where in the article ol' Tommy D. said, "Aha. I gotcha. I'm only kidding. This Kershaw chump is as loony as the New Black Panther party guy is." He acts like he thinks he has a case. And if Kershaw has a case then N'Cobra has a case. If N'Cobra is nothing but a bunch of con artists then so is Kershaw. Simple as that. And if you think that Kershaw has a case but Sister Firestarter, et. al. don't, then it's just the latest in an increasing list of southron hypocrisy.

well said!

offhand, i can't think of a major periodical in SC that is PRO-flag! the liars, bootlickers,scalawags & damnyankees who own/manage the newspapers are CRUDS and while they have the right to speak, they imVho, do NOT have the right to either attempt to silence opposing viewpoints or to LIE about the things they print as NEWS. EDITORIALS should be, OBVIOUSLY, so identified.

free the southland,sw

[stand watie]

YEP, it IS! TRUTH WILL OUT!

the war was/IS about just one thing: FREEDOM for DIXIE!

free the southland,sw

[stand watie]

N-S,

FYI, i think BOTH groups are NUTS!

reparations are a FARCE, BUT an APOLOGY to the families of MURDERED/TORTURED/ABUSED POWs and for WAR CRIMES committed against innocent civilians (particuliarly against SLAVES!) is definitely in order.

a NATIONAL DAY of REMEMBERANCE & PRAYER would be acceptable to all in the southland. keep your $$$$$$$$$; we do NOT want any dirty $$$$$$$.

free the south,sw

That is a gracious offer, quite out of character for you, but one I respect. OK. Go ahead, apologize. I'll accept.

[billbears]

Go ahead, apologize. I'll accept.

LOL!! I'm sure you would. Don't hold your breath.

[Non-Sequitur]

Isn't that what he meant???

[billbears]

Uh, no. And from experience in waiting on apologies, we've been waiting oh, about 140 years and hadn't heard a peep from y'all yet!!

[Non-Sequitur]

I guess it was the slave apolgy that threw me. I know. I'll apologize for to the families of MURDERED/TORTURED/ABUSED POWs and for WAR CRIMES committed against innocent civilians (particuliarly against SLAVES!) by the North and sw can apologize to the families of MURDERED/TORTURED/ABUSED POWs and for WAR CRIMES committed against innocent civilians (particuliarly against SLAVES!) by the confederates. Him first.

This shows the depth the liberal socialist PC whores will sink to to get our Constitutional rights annhilated.

Well you know what they say "Liberty is founded on 4 boxes. 1st The Soap Box, 2nd is the Ballot Box, 3rd is the Jury Box, and finally 4th being the Cartridge Box!"

[Captain Shady]

. To follow their logic, it would be a matter of 1st amendment protected free speech for this corporation to order its employees to cease union activities on company property. I'll hold my breath waiting for them to say the same thing the next time they accuse a corporation of union busting. Y'all pick me up when I turn blue and fall out, ok?

If you follow Spartanburg Herald-Journals usual editorials ,you may find they don't love unions either.They've endorsed legislation to actually hurt union organizing.This newspaper doesn't love workers of the right or left.
Only thing this bunch cares about is golf and BMW's.Everyone else can get the heck out of the way.

[goodieD]

It's a beautiful piece..but dollars to donuts it will never see the light of day...they don't have the guts.

That, sir, is going to applied to the back of my truck WITH the Battle Flag at eye-level to all the college-bound Volvos and Toyotas of the leftwingers that are converging back in this area for the start of school. They can read it at stop signs or while passing me and wonder what caliber gun is under my seat as they drive by. "Liberty is founded on 4 boxes. The Soap Box, Ballot Box, Jury Box, & the Cartridge Box!"

Grand Quote! Just Capital! TwoBitticus
