Gimp, apparently you are an unreconstructed secesh, who probably like to see slavery, or at least segregation back. That is the only reason to claim that the South had the right to secede, which was to continue slavery. My contempt for you is undying, but there will always be a place for you among right wingers and Republicans. Birds of a feather...... At least you apparently accept that you are wrong about the Morril Tariff being passed before the South left the Union. By the way the tariff was passed on March 2, 1861, which is after the South withdrew.
Here is another quote for those "misunderstood" Southerners who just wanted to be "left alone." This one was in support of a mercenary American army that tried to take over Nicaragua in 1856 to establish a slave state there. This appeared in a New Orleans newspaper's editorial: "A barbarous people can never become civilized without the salutary apprenticeship which slavery secured. It is the duty and decreed prerogative of the wise to guide and govern the ignorant....through slavery, and the sooner civilized men learn their duty and their right the sooner will the real progress of civilization be rescued." Nicaragua had banned slavery in 1824.
In support of the same army, another southern newspaper said, "In the name of the white race, (Walker, the leader of the army) now offers Nicaragua to you and your slaves, at a time when you have not a friend on the face of the earth."
And there will always be idiots and racists like you who think all they need to know is what they hear Rush say.
Is anybody keeping score here? How many of us is it that Cotton Bowl has unlimited contempt for? It's got to be at least 12 or 15 of us? Welcome to the club Gimp.
Actually I would not listen to Rush on your radio. I come up with these idiotic racist remarks all by myself.
This is definitely a fair representation of his presidency. But he is still ultimately accountable for what happened. He pulled the trigger. He is to blame. And we don't even want to start with the conspiracy theorists of LBJ being in on the assasination of JFK. Believe me, it's not that far fetched. He absolutely HATED the Kennedy family.
Reagan won the cold war. He broke the Soviet Union's back and caused the Berlin wall to be torn down as well as the dismantling of the Iron Curtain. Only a TOUGH Republican President is what can handle the war on terrorism. Bush MUST win re-election or God help us all. I refer you little girls (democrats) to Jimmy Carter's presidency and the Soviet's invasion of Afghanistan. Jimmy's hardline reaction: don't show up at their Olympics in 1980. Democrats are pansies. Plain and simple. Soft on defense. We can't afford that kind of foreign policy from this point forward in our history and the history of the world.
