Why 137 years after slavery ended in America; why, at a time when absolutely no one is advocating its restoration, are people so totally hung up on "slavery" that they feel a need to attack other people's pride in their own history.

People have no right to pride in their history when it involved fighting in the last ditch to keep other men in chains, because, as president Lincoln said --they were upset because the government did not help them sufficiently in getting their bread from the sweat of other men's faces.

Nazi concentration camp guards have a similar basis to honor -their- history.

The arrogance of your last post--setting yourself up to judge whether others can take pride in their history--says far more about you, than it does about any ideological position. No response to your post is needed other than to call attention to it.

Since those who honor their Southern heritage, make up a significant part of the rooted American population--including not only those still living in the South, but many Westerners, as well as others who have settled in the North, you are bent upon alienating--for no reason but your own looney-tunes fanaticism--the most significant single segment of the American Conservative base. Without that segment, there is absolutely no chance for Conservatives achieving any of our objectives.

Again, to rational people, your post is a projection of your own pathology. It says nothing of value on any issue.
