StudyHard,

Thank you for your insightful post, as you brought up many points I was hoping to bring up as well. I appreciate your unbiased view based on principles and convictions, not liberal smoke screens and dogma.


Gary,

Meaning of "The South Will Rise Again!"?????---Well, many Southerners are still annoyed that they were held AGAINST THEIR WILL in what their forefathers had established as a voluntary union of States. They never had the opportunity to excell in their own right because of the Yankee Bayonet that pricked them in the back for the 4 years that they were an independent nation. The South knew they could live without their Northern brother. But, the North couldn't live without the South. We just wanted to be left ALONE. But, as Lincoln stated, "Let the South Go! Let the South go! My God, Man, where will we get our revenues!" If some of us are still a bit rabid when it comes to our heritage and our future, just think how you would feel if your grandfather fought, bled, and died in the 1st American Revolution alongside General Washington and then lost everything he had to the British who now would continue to rule these American "colonies". However, the British would say, "Why do you keep talking about your ancesters and the fact that America will one day be restored to her previous glory of limited government and a family-oriented, God-fearing society? Just accept that you fought for it, lost, and now move on!" I'd say to heck with the Brits. Never shall I forget the blood my ancesters spilled in defense of my freedom.

Just look at the IRA and Ireland's struggle for freedom for how many years? Look at Lithuania (sp?).

We Will Never Forget.

By the way, thank you for your service to our country in the Navy.

Semper Fi.
