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.

I was thinking the same thing. He really is insane and becoming more deserving of pity than any attempts at rational discourse with him. His stupidity is actually so concentrated as to possess an osmotic gradient, ie. intelligence flows OUT of the rest of the universe in a (vain) attempt to dilute it. That of course, presupposes Walt's brain is surrounded by a somewhat permeable membrane, and I think his last post negates that theory.

Holding other humans as slaves is wrong. Do you agree, yes or no?

"The doctrine of self-government is right -- absolutely and eternally right -- but it has no just application, as here attempted. Or perhaps I should rather say that whether it has such application depends upon whether a negro is not or is a man. If he is not a man, why in that case, he who is a man may, as a matter of self-government, do just as he pleases with him. But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self-government, to say that he too shall not govern himself? When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself, and also governs another man, that is more than self-government -- that is despotism. If the negro is a man, why then my ancient faith teaches me that "all men are created equal;" and there can be no moral right in connection with one man's making a slave of another."

I guess by implication you are defending the right of Nazi concentration camp guards to honor their history too.
