I'm as southern as anybody. I was born and raised in Chattanooga. My mother's people all come from Cleburne County, Alabama. I had relatives in the 31st Alabama infantry. My father's people are all from west Tennessee. I had at least one relative at Shiloh and a distant relative captured here in Atlanta at the Battle of Peachtree Creek.
I just find absolute falsehood distasteful, and that's all you'll get from the League of the South or the SCV.
The LOS had a "humor" link to a site that glorified John Wilkes Booth. Does that strike you funny?
You know, 31,000 Tennesseans fought for the Union. There were only 400 Georgia Unionists. How does that make you feel, living in the USA and all?
There is no way to separate the CSA battle emblem from racism, treason, slavery -- and just being pitiful clueless losers. I'm sorry it doesn't suit you that I refuse to identify with that.

I don't know if it's funny or not. I haven't seen it. Since there was a popular comedy show on TV a couple of decades ago about life in a NAZI POW camp, I suspect that some people can find humor in almost anything.

Proud not to live in Tennessee what with the USA currently being 50% of a socialist police state and headed for 100% just as fast as the liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats can get us there.

I couldn't care less what you associate with what. That's what is called "freedom." If you hate the confederate flag that's fine with me. Your credentials as a genuine southerner remind me of the gun control advocates who always start out saying that they were raised in a hunting family or some similar such twaddle. It's irrelevant. You think like a New Yorker. If you choose to think that withdrawing from a tyrannical central government was treasonous, then again I recommend that you move to a place where more people think just like you do.
And before you get onto a long boring tirade against racism etc., affirmative action is racism, but I don't see you spewing out your venom against the current federal government and it current flag that promulgates this current racism.
How about the Stars and Stripes, Walt? That flew over northern states that condoned slavery roo.
Actually, after seeing numerous posts of your hate, we just as soon you not.
