Calling All Southron

I read one book about a Confederate a long time ago, I can't really remember what it was called now, this was like 20 years ago, I think it had an interesting take on this.

The ex-soldier was speaking of another rebel who during the war was especially brutal and hate filled toward Union soldiers. He never wanted to take any prisoner and often killed helpless, wounded Yankees on the battlefields. Years later the writer walked into a bar to see the same rebel talking with two Union soldiers in uniform in a very friendly and easy manner. Shocked he pulled him to the side and asked him how he changed so much.

"Well, as I was heading home at the end of the war another Confederate was sitting on the side of the road and asked if I had any bacon. When I replied that I did he told me, "Well use it to grease yourself up 'cus we gotta slide right back into the Union.""
 
I can assure you, there is no coordinated, government supported, secret or public program of "yankee indoctrination" anywhere within the Federal government or the public school system.

Well, as long as it is not coordinated indoctrination ...
 
I am so proud to be a member of a group in which a pointless troll-snipe was defused.

It's still a trash thread.

I do not know why you say this but I am insulted. It is obvious that such comments reflect the kind of Yankee indoctrination I referred to earlier. Also I note your location is 'yankee territory'. Is that troll sniping? Would it be if the location was 'CSA territory?'

To be clear, I am not looking to debate the evil of the North in the War of Northern Aggression and the destruction of the culture afterwards. I started a thread explicitly looking to call all Southron to support what I truly believe is a worthy cause. If you do not agree, you do not have to post in this thread. You do not have to close it either merely because you disagree with the premise of the thread. You do not have to call me names, e.g., troll, trash thread, etc.
 
One has to remember that Rebels never ceased to be Americans, they just refused to be Yankees.

Do you think rebels is the proper term for the secessionists, the Patriots who acted on the rights earned by their forefathers to alter or abolish their government?

All Southron? Are you including blacks as well or only white Southerners?

JL,

I know I shouldn't feed the tr... er... add fuel to the fire. But you have piqued my interest. You started this thread saying:

Only recently have I come across the notion of Deo Vindici. What can Southron do to advance Deo Vindici?

It strikes me that even many of the Southerners on this board don't know what to make of you're saying.

When you ask "What can Southron do to advance Deo Vindici?,"

(a) what do you define as "Southron?"
(b) what do you define as "Deo Vindici?"
(c) why is it necessary to "advance" "Deo Vindici?" After "Deo Vindici?" is "advanced" what is the transformation that you hope to see?
 
I second Forever Free's attempt to move the thread back on track, whatever that track may prove to be. I suggest before anyone replies that they take a deep breath and count to ten.

ADDRESS THE ISSUE, NOT THE SHORTCOMINGS OF YOUR FELLOW POSTERS.
 
Lots of groups and folks want to "control" the govt. and those little minds of mush in our public schools. They range from white guys wearing white sheets,black guys with little bow ties,to brown guys with lots and lots and lots of drugs and cash, to stuffed shirts with college degrees and a mixed up alphabet after their name.
Federal conspiracy? Destroy a way of life?
Check out the state or country thread! It's Just whoever "WE" put in power at the time. Kick'em out with a vote or they can choose the hard way.
 
The only thing we need to advance is freedom, liberty and a better life for our kids and grandkids. That takes each one us passing on evrything from family heritage to state and country history. Where we've been and where we need to go.
We're all in this together. Great Americans come from every state and every walk.
 
I'm just totally confused. What do you want to support? Can you clarify just who and what and where? If you can answer FF's questions that would probably help me understand.

Silly person! Whenever has this member actually answered a question?
 
Folks, it's wrong to insult, belittle, disparage other posters - no excuses. There's no flaming going on in this thread, yet, as far as I can tell, and all viewpoints are welcome. Let the discussion continue.
