Re: Confederate Flag

You're smart, I never questioned that. Although your revisionist history leaves a lot to be desired...but then that's what makes you so fun to banter with.

Revisionist my foot! I was stuck with revisionist history in school. Luckily my granddaddy straightened it out for me. You actually remind me of my 3rd grade teacher, a woman from Illinois who swore that Lincoln was a saint. Should have seen her when my granddaddy got through with her! She probably never taught the War for Southern Independence the same way again.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Not anymore because I know where that scum is now if there is any justice in this world. It is burning in the innermost circle of hell and will stay there for eternity

Ahh.... so now you are trying to tell us who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell?

You are absolutely priceless. Honestly, I would have paid for this LOL.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

And seceeding states would do none of those things as they were no longer "states" in the constitutional sense. Article I sec. 10 bascially tells member states that you are either completely "in" or completely "out", there is no middle ground. In the case of the CSA, they wanted completely out.

When viewed agaisnt the "out or "in" context, the article in question makes perfect sense as allowing member states to be "some what in, but also out" would make the nation ungovernable.

No. Forming a confederation of states was act completed. The states didn't go anywhere. It was their confederation that was unconstitutional. There was no secession.

The southern cause died at pickets charge and Vicksburg.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Saddam had WMD's, we know that. He was slicker than GWB ever knew. Besides when we invaded and took out Saddam, the rest of the world had our backs.


Then the United States is the biggest **** up on the planet......

What you claim is so well know could not be found by the biggest invasion force since D-Day!

No, the rest of the world did NOT have your backs.....in fact your best friend Canada said "**** off..."

Man you sure have an active imagination!

I went to the eight grade in Phoenix and had a spinster history teacher that preached white supremacy and literally broke down in tears as she pleaded for us to not mix the races. Oh noes, not the mixing of the races. She was a little ex pat German Nazi...really. My granddaddy would've been spitting teeth if he knew that white supremacy was being taught in public schools by Nazi's. The kids used to make fun of her....order twenty pizzas sent to her house....toilet paper her yard.....
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Who was your US history teacher, a descendant of Lincoln?

Well I had several, there was about four in high school in the US, and at least three Phd's in college non of whom would have the faintest idea of what you are talking about.

What I see is a lot of worked up hate and good reason, if you were the norm, to ban that flag all together.

The only thing you proved is that history is not taught from both sides, ever, unless you happen to have a teacher who actually studies both sides.

Oh yeah the pizza prank! Did that to my 6th grade teacher and got in BIG trouble! She hated me anyway so I didn't care if she hated me the rest of the year.

We had England, France, and other countries though. Did Canada even get in the middle of this? Or did England take care of them? I know when Saddam moved the WMD's so we wouldn't find them (which he had been doing since the 1st Gulf conflict) the rest of the world was wondering where GWB's head was.

Except when the Southern states acceded to the union, they made it clear that they had the right to secede from the union.
 
Re: Confederate Flag

Maybe it was fate that caused stonewall to be shot by his own men by accident?

No it was poor lighting and dust flying everywhere. They didn't know what to think. Realized too late they had shot the wrong guy. Ironic thing about that though, Dr. Hunter McGuire amputated Stonewall's left arm, also removed my great grandmother's appendix.

Fate, fortune, call it what you will.

Stonewalls luck ran out at Chancellorsville.
