Re: Confederate Flag

Burning half the South to the ground in war is no worse than any war. That's how stupid that logic is.

PS: That is not one, but two different people. Many more where that came from.
Well... if you want to get technical.......... How many people were in Sherman's Army???? Because he sure as hell didn't do it alone.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Lol...

So blind to reality...

Right, says chicken little screaming to the heavens that racism permeates all white people just because they are white, oh wait, that makes you the racist... :lol:
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Thug has not replaced nigger for ****s sake! Thug is a term used to describe people that might be violent criminals and that look or act like it. That's it.

Re: Confederate Flag

you may be right...Vast Public Indifference: Six Percent looks like it depends on who is doing the math, and under what parameters.

I am sure that we can agree that slaveholders in the South were a minority.

so far as having reps, if the slaves were counted as full citizens, i'm sure that would have gotten them a few more in the house.

Absolutely... a few.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

While "whooping" is subjective I suggest you look at casualty lists and a few pictures of Hiroshima, Dresden, Berlin, etc. compared to Los Angeles, New York or Moscow after WWII.

And Stalin and Russia were preparing for eventual war. They would not just be "left alone". Much of what you say is good though.
would have been in hitlers best interest to deal with them 'after' he had subdued europe proper, britain in particular.....he would have been in a better posistion....as it was , by engaging russia early, he had to fight on multiple fronts, splitting his forces, and creating a logistical nightmare, stressing his supply lines.

And guilty of sedition!

Sure, more inner city people dress and act like "thugs" and they are generally minorities, as you are well aware of, but thugs are just people that look like and act like violent criminals. If they are white we might call them rednecks instead but no rational people are calling "black men" thugs just because they are black like the word nigger was used to describe black men back in the day. It isn't even close.

Agreed. I often wonder why Hitler did not wait on Poland and just attack Russia through Romania and Checkoslovakia first and then, if successful, deal with the West. He didn't want to fight England really anyway. It is possible that the UK, USA and France might even have covertly helped, the fear of Communism was that great.

LOL! yes thats true but her statement was ignorant at best. Acting like the southern soldiers were all Rhett Butler, and all northern soldiers were nothing but rapists and child killers is just so asinine on it's face.

Even today our soldiers act a fool overseas.... doesn't mean they all do.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

we had an advantage that we had during the civil war..we were able to out manufacture the axis powers, the germans/axis powers were not able to bomb our cities/ factories into the ground, like we did the germans...the germans big mistake was engaging the russians....if hitler had left the russians alone, odds are europe would have been his .....britain would have fallen....hitler made the huge mistake of declaring war on the United States, after the United States declared war on japan....we were only going after japan in the beginning, did not have much interest in European affairs. hitler overextended Germany, that was their downfall. as for japan, that was fixin' to be a bitch of a fight until we finally got the bomb...if we didnt get a working atomic bomb when we did, we would have had to invade japan proper, and you would have seen death on a scale that would have dwarfed the civil war. thump you chest all you want, those were not 'whoopins', we ground them down.

Ground down and then laid it to waste. We did that to Germany, Japan and the South, leaving only Savannah standing.

after the german 'luftwaffe' was neutralized, our bombers had free reign to bomb....and bomb they did....as for japan, we had to drop two atomic bombs, before they finally got the hint that we had figured the 'atomic bomb' thing out, and that we could do this all day,....as for the south, General Lee seen the writing on the wall, realized that he could not win this war, and realizing that his army's retreat was blocked by the union, asked for terms from general grant..Lee could have continued fighting, for awhile longer, but realized it was futile...and rather than sacrifice any more of his men, surrendered....

I wish I could say that you offered a reasonable debate with facts or logic to back up your claims... but I can't...

Your debating techniques are fast gaining a reputation as being very poor... not a good start. Take it easy then.

an interesting fact
[h=2]Did You Know?[/h]
APCO_ahdle1oy_grant.jpg
After the war there was talk of putting Lee on trial for treason. Grant wrote, "I will resign the command of the army rather than execute any order to arrest Lee.” That settled the matter, and Lee was never tried.




The Meeting - Appomattox Court House National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)

In the end Grant did end up sticking up for the Lee family. When the government stole Arlington and its land from them, Grant threatened to quit his job if the wrong wasn't righted. Eventually it was, thanks to the Supreme Court, but the damage had already been done.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Wrong. She is just wrong ALL THE TIME.

Not even close... the South had 9 million people and 4 million slaves = population 13 million. The North had population 22 million people.

American Civil War Census Data

NO, I am RIGHT, but you refuse to understand, much less realize that YOU have been indoctrinated WRONG.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Let's see if it did shall we?

Hmm... Sherman succeeded Grant as commanding general of the u.s army in 1869, served in that post until he stepped down in 1883, retired from the army in 1884, he wrote his memoirs in 1875, and died on February 14th, 1891, at the age of 71.


Where did karma hit general Sherman again?

By the fact that that pond scum is now burning in the innermost circle of hell if there is any justice in this world.
