Taken near Kirkuk Iraq about a year ago, snagged it from AR15.com

How peculiar, who was that guy with?

SHOOT HIM ON SIGHT!
Traitors don't come home.

Um, this should really be in A&P though, dear alter-ego... *moves*

Yes. The South did indeed lose. See my sig.

What is that, the Mississippi National Guard?

Maybe some people don't follow current events as closely as others. I thought the word would have gotten out about that whole "Confederates getting their asses kicked" thing by now.

I will contest that point, sir. As we speak, Major General Pickett's armies have successfully breached the lines of the Union's. In one weeks time they will march on Washington, where I will see you sign the Unconditional Surrender of the United States of America myself!

Most Repectfully, sir,
Someone Way Behind The Times.

I had Rogue9's sig image as a bumper sticker on my first car. Once, while gassing up, some guys were pulling out and, in true dumbass fashion, shouted something like "We might have lost, but you're still a fat fuck!"

Yep, paragons of intellect there.

So the South lost eh?

Well, it was more of a moral victory.

No, not really.

Yep, still not being able to comprehend this shit in the slightest. You don't see any British worrying about the War of Roses, or any French jabbering on about how they could have held Bastille. Hell, we don't even get disposed Czars bemoaning the damn dirty commies.

Isn't that Ralphie from A Chirstmas Story, all grown up?

Well, in fairness to the last, the Czars are dead.

I don't get it either. I suppose it's that Americans don't like the concept of losing a war, and they lost that one... Although if they'd won, they wouldn't be U.S. citizens anymore... Hmmmmmmmm.

I think what you have here is a culture that is defined by military defeat, mixed with the reasons behind the war (racism, slavery) they're not the good guys either so what you have is a whole region that when they look back a hundred years they were slave holding traitors that rebelled and lost. Look at the Japanese and their inability to face WWII. Except Southerners have glorified and enobeled their past.

Ho-ho-ho, oh yes you do. Seriously, put a lancashireman and a yorkshireman in a room, ask each of them who won the war of the roses. It'll come to blows within 10 minutes or so...though they would stop to beat the hell out of any southern pansy that tried to intervene.

I sit corrected and rather amused. Silly non-Manchesterians.

Wait...there are actually people in the South that are pissed off they lost?

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh yes. +http://www.fullquivermission.com Wade through all the anti-abortion stuff and you will find pro-Confederate material. Or just go to the message boards and read the forum titles. (You can't read the forums themselves; they set it so you have to be logged in after Fundies Say the Darndest Things started harvesting their forums for quotes.)

Wait...there are actually people in the South that are pissed off they lost?

You're from out of town aren't you?

In a word yes. They range from regionalist who have romancized the period in their heads has their's birthplace's greatest hour, to fundies who bemoan the "illegal invasion of the peaceful southreners and their brutal oppression." Remember those guys Rogue 9? They even got a website, detailing their plans to turn Virginia into a theocracy that would make Osama proud (if he was Southren Bathist anyways). If it happens I intend to pay a visit and show off the Corps markmenship.
