You're obviously a southern sympathizer. Whether or not you're a "southerner" by birth matters little, it's clear with which side your sympathies lie.

Kinda like the war itself. Being born north of the Mason-Dixon line didn't make many a northerner any less a southern sympathizer.

It's S.O.P. for those who favor the South to run down Grant with ignorant comments about "drunk" this and "butcher" that because they can't handle what happened on April 9th, 1865.

So yeah, I get more than a little sick of the disrespect from those that wish Lee had won, and they could preserve states rights...and own all the slaves they wanted to today.

You're beginning to sound MORE AND MORE like a liberal...just because I referred to your hero (in a humorous vein, no less) as a "Drunken General" you now have me whipping slaves on the plantation. You should really hear what you sound like--a bit hysterical actually.

Lighten the ef up, will ya?

And if I WERE a Southerner and thought for a MINUTE all Yankees were as obnoxious as you, I would NEVER go north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

I've lived in the South for 30 years. I, nor anyone else in my entire family, currently does, or ever has, owned a single slave. I can with certainty say the same thing about my friends and associates.

I can also say with certainty that there are lots of other people like myself who are a lot sick and tired of taking s**t from northern liberals like yourself, whose only knowledge of the people and culture of the South comes from New York Times opinion pieces that literally ooze hatred and condescension for anyone who chooses to live down here. Contrary to what your oracle of societal knowledge Maureen Dowd says, all Southerners are not toothless, illiterate troglodytes who obsess over "keeping the colored down," all the while banging our Bibles when we're not beating our wives.

I know we Southerners are totally offensive to your "refined" sense of aesthetics and culture (everything would be so much better if we were more like the French, right?). Too f**king bad - we're here, we're part of this nation and all your rantings about how everyone in the South is a racist slave owner wanna-be aren't going to change that one bit.
