If the Stars and Bars battle flag flying over the capitol building in Charleston, SC is
meant as a tribute to the fallen sons of Dixie, why did South Carolina wait until 1962 to
fly it over their capitol building?  Any chance that it is coincidental that it was first
raised at the beginning of the first effective civil rights demonstrations?  States rights
is, and was then,  code for sanctioned racism. Points for discussion off list:  Why isn't
flying the flag of a rebellious state grounds for treason?  Why are most national
politicians southern or faux southern?  How did the party of Lincoln( a YANKEE) become the
party of Jesse Helms, Trent Lott ( a really slimy underground racist Ole Miss cheerleader,
a real good resume point) and Newt( I was born in Pennsylvania, then I divorced two wives,
but I believe in Georgian family values) Gingrich?

What's next?  Bavarians flying the Nazi flag as a tribute to the glorious dead of the
Deutsche Volk of the Third Reich?  Oh, that's right.  That's outlawed in the German
Constitution.

140 years is a millisecond in terms of world history.

BTW, history is written by the winners.  It's the Civil War, not the War Between the
States. It's the Battle of Bull Run, not Manassass.   Y'all lost. Y'hear?  Get over it.

I see no honor in laying down your life for the continuation of a slave driven economy.
Yes I know revisionists say that slavery wasn't the main issue.  BULLSHIT!  That may have
not been the Union's main fighting point, but it was certainly the CSA's focal point.
Keeping the black man down is still the focal point of many southerners.  The southern,
racist politicians have tempered their racist views in order to make them more palatable
to other racists, who don't want to be perceived as racists.  Why was the Kansas-Nebraska
Act put into law?  I see no reason why states like Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina
should have as many votes in the Senate as California, New York and Pennsylvania.

If a politician talks about states' rights, you can bet a sizable fraction of his backers
and constituents have robes and hoods in their closets.

If the KKK are so tough, why won't they walk up Broad Street in Philadelphia from
Fairmount Avenue to Cheltenham Avenue, with or without their hoods? Maybe because they
would get their cracker asses beaten to death before they reached Girard avenue.
Cowardly, weak chinned, stupid, racist, inbred motherf@#^ers.

The CSA was a rebellious faction in the USA.  They were traitors. Pure and simple.   The
south still harbors delusions of the grandeur of their cause.  What does "The South will
rise again!" mean?  Put the darkies in their place.

Flame away you confederate sympathizing bastards!  Just because your ancestors fought for
the cause, that doesn't make them noble.

While I'm on my diatribe, I want to go on record that Oliver Cromwell was the first modern
genocidal maniac.  He ordered that all the people in Drogheda, Ireland should be put to
death.  When someone questioned whether it was honorable to kill children, Cromwell's
response was, "Nits breed lice."

I didn't bring up this topic, but I could not keep silent.   Please, no more politics on
the list. It causes me, and many others,  turmoil.  I will gladly entertain private
responses to my obnoxious post, but I will not respond to any posts to the list.

HIS truth is marching on.
