For all of you that have been feeling a little down lately

Dude, you need to let go of the past and live in the here and now. Using your thinking, the native Americans should be scalping every one of us today. Of course I'm sure your ancestors didn't do anything wrong to them?

Here's another photo (same source) of some folks who were stereotyped. Nota Bene: they were reportedly also advised to let go of the past.

Why don't you show photos of all the native Americans that our American ancestors slaughtered? Shouldn't me and you burn in hell for that?

Correction, halfwit: your yankee union ancestors slaughtered. If you claim them, then perhaps you should. If the aboriginals want to lump all white men in that stereotype, though, and wish hell for me, I understand.

I see you are now running out of excuses and starting the name calling. I wonder who killed the southern American natives?

'Twas meant only as representative of the quality of your rhetoric, not so much a slur. Which, of course, you ironically proved worthy in your second sentence...

I've already mentioned the name of one of the worst, earlier in this thread. See if you can find it.
 
@SPST Next, you'll be harping, "what about Bush?!" You're proving to be nothing but a troll, and a fairly retarded one at that. The only challenge to "debating" you is to one's patience.

Ok, ok, someone needs to lock this down before the kids really get in trouble. Most of us here are Southern folk and we know why the war was fought, and we know why the war was lost. We also know the war is over! Most of us know that this country is in great peril now and as divided as it's EVER been. Throwing names at each other here won't change that and will only help in tearing us apart. Most of us believe in the same things, Life, Freedom and Justice. We want to raise our families free from what the government tells us we MUST do. We want the rights to protect wants ours and our family. So let's US calm down a bit and back up and realize what's at stake here and what brings US together. This site has been a blessing to me! When the other site went to pieces, I had a hard time as I've made some very good friends there. When this site came up, I was hugely relieved. I don't want ANYTHING to shake this tree!
 
No locks here. We are adults right? o_O

Since the yankees continue to flood the south as they have for centuries, must be something pretty attractive here. How about when you show up you leave your condescending arrogant attitudes at the border.
The south maybe stereotyped, sure, as being the best place to live on the planet. Trust me the north carries its own stereotypes and the statement mentioned above isn't one of them.

You come here and then you want to judge.

That is a poor reflection of your character.

Hey, brother. I don't get why the thread might need to be locked. @Tailhunter is right about the adults, far as I'm concerned. There was (by my counting) two trolls who wanted to stink-bomb the thread. I rose (or sunk, depending on your perspective) to the challenge, and if I imperiled the tree, I promise to do better next time.
 
I didn't mean to lock the thread down. These back and forth between members are not what we're about. Discourse between members is one thing, when the name calling and worse starts, that's different.

Hypocrite of the first order. Needs his ‘safe space’ Confederate thread so feelings don’t get hurt.

I posted a clip from the Film Gettysburg depicted Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s 20th Maine Charge. Chamberlain, and the charge is referenced in the US Army Field Manual on Leadership I used while serving in my full Army career. Worthy man to consider for any loyal American.

I post a song still played officially by each of our military services in ceremony and at Arlington and he claims it ‘ ‘taints’ the thread while verbally attacking other members from the site. Wasn’t aware of any the dixie safe space rules... Admin? did I miss them?.

‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic’ still stirs the hearts of many Citizens.

Which verse seems offensive. Which one is less than worthy to be in your hymnal (it has been in mine most all the places I’ve worshipped across these United States and Overseas.):



Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal";
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free*,[14]
While God is marching on.

(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!



By their Fruit you will know them.

Let's recognize while it's still in the general public domain, that the two stink-bombers are exactly no different from the communist scum who are tearing down statues and desecrating monuments. If you are white, Christian, and Southern, your heritage is fair game for scorn and destruction. In Charlottesville, New Orleans, Charlotte, Durham...and in the Off Topic area of CFF.

Roll it over to the Isle, or kill it...no skin off our backs. As someone said in another thread, this kind of crap just works to steel our resolve. The professional left and the statists just can't stand leaving well enough alone. We don't need a safe space; we just need the party to get started.

How did you unsweeten that tea?

It's pretty easy, really. Especially since they haven't genetically engineered Camellia Sinensis Saccharum yet.

But if I want to drink tea made by my wife or in-laws, all I have to do is run it through a filter. The sugar and simple syrup stays behind and I get pure tea out of it.

Of course, I have to run an entire gallon of their sweet tea through the filter to get one glass of unsweetened tea.

Yeah...like HAWT southern women with that HAWT southern accent? Oh, Lord, it's ALMOST as hawt as a redheaded Irish lady with a heavy Irish Brogue!

And to think my wife is a HAWT Southern redhead with Irish blood! If only she had the accent...either Southern or Irish brogue.

A bunch of us worked real hard here to set up this on-line community for Carolina gun owners after our last "home" got sold down the river.

My family has been in the two Carolinas since before the Revolution. Both sides. Both sides also fought for the CSA. I was named for one of them. I get your sentiments. That said, there are lots of folks here who share our enthusiasm for firearms, the second amendment, states rights, and all kinds of good things, who aren't all from south of the Mason Dixon line.

I'd prefer to not chase ALL of them off. If a moderator, or more particularly a founder of the forum politely admonishes the thread that the limits are being pushed, then do what most of us who were raised in the south do, and respect it. Please.

Don't worry about this unsweetened-green-tea-drinking Yankee. I don't chase off easily!

Besides...this Yankee has actual blood ties to Robert E. Lee's family, through my paternal grandmother's lineage which goes back to General Light Horse Harry Lee, technically making me cousin to him. Had fun with THAT tidbit of knowledge with my future Mother-in-Law back when my wife and I were still dating and I was being quizzed about where my family was from. When I told her I grew up in Indiana, Mom's side was from Indiana and Dad's side was from the South (Kentucky), she told me in no uncertain terms that Kentucky was NOT part of the South and was NOT South of the Mason-Dixon Line.

I had to smile as I asked her "Soooo....which state of the Confederate States of America was represented by the 13th star? Come on, you can say it! I won't be upset! And do you have actual blood ties with Robert E. Lee's family like I do?"

She's a great woman...she smiled a LOT during that conversation!

Bit of information on Kentucky...the governor of Kentucky was in favor of secession. The legislature, however, was Union controlled and overrode the governor. A bid for neutrality was made, but there WAS a shadow government in place in Kentucky. Had Louisville NOT been firmly in the control of Union forces at the beginning of the war, Kentucky would have gone over to the South at the very beginning. As it was, Lincoln and the Northern forces realized that if Kentucky went to the South, then they would defacto lose Missouri and Maryland as well. If that happened, they realized there was very little hope of the Union forces winning, which was not a certain thing as it was at the time.

As it was, the shadow government pretty much ran things in the Southern counties, of which Adair County (where Dad and his family is from, with one of his ancestors being a reverend who started a church in Keltner in 1782) were very much under Southern control.

Duly and respectfully noted. Also noted that the same two stink-bombers have, after the polite admonishment, contributed these items: white supremacists (sic), racist, hypocrite. They've gone unedited and uncondemned. What do I take away, and just as importantly, what does the viewing public take away, from the abundant tolerance for trollish behavior contrasted with the zero tolerance for pushing back (harshly yes, but not inaccurately) against that behavior?

Asking respectfully.

I had the temerity to "call" someone a "half-wit", which I did then and still do think he earned with his comments. And yet, I've accepted the admonishment, in the interests of preserving that tree. The admonishment was almost completely unnecessary, but had the effect of reinvigorating the one who cried about name-calling.

Edited to add: if there's a double-standard, just say so. I won't like, but at least I'll understand, and can comport myself accordingly.

You've been here exactly one month today. Some of us have a pretty long history and know the personalities
pretty well. Yes, we have some routinely opposing views, some right, some less right, occasional troll incursions, some Christian, some atheist, some south, some north, and some knuckleheads. But they are our knuckleheads.

All the founders and mods of CFF here work for free. A lot of time is spent in the CFF back-office arbiting the squabbles if they get over the top, and moving threads when they get beyond the standards for that section of the forum. Most the men and women who moderate have jobs and families, and it is a private forum, which also means it is not a democracy, like it or not.

I won't even answer the "double standard" question. That sounds like crap I used to throw at my mom.
I think she called it "backtalk". The mods go out of their way to not be Nazis, but why not spend a little more time here and get to know the lay of the land before laying seige to a group you dont know as well as you think you might.
 
Thanks. Longevity is justifiable, or at least acceptable, double-standard, far as I'm concerned. Again, I don't like it, but accept it.

Happy anniversary to me, though.

Curious though...knucklehead vs half-wit. Tomayto vs tomahto?

I didnt call anybody a knucklehead. I just acknowledged we have some here. ;)

Longevity isnt really a "free pass" as much as it is just learning that some folks feel certain ways that are different than others, and beating them over the head with it when they are just being themselves just makes for unhappy reading, when sometimes it's easier to mutter about it to yourself and either ignore it, or move to another thread. Oh, and the ignore button can be your friend. :)

I hope they dont want to knock down the Ashford Inn in Clinton NC (regognize the name?) He's my great uncle, twice wounded, once at Gettysburg. It was his home after the war, and now is owned by a couple from New Jersey. Maybe it will get a pass since, in the immortal words of @trcubed, the north is still pillaging the south at the colonel's house in Clinton.

I deleted a lot of well-manicured smack, in the interest of decorum. But, know this: everything you might do well, I do better. Everything.

I would call you a half-wit, but that would be overly flattering to the "wit" you actually project, so I'll not.

I don't believe in doing what is easier. I believe in speaking the truth. Sometimes that is hard, and sometimes harsh. If you want to know where we've failed (and I am as guilty as anyone) in guarding Liberty, it is our preference for harmony over honesty.

Let's us not trivialize either evil or stupidity, but rather face them. The stand we are to take need not be in Charlottesville, but right here, in our everyday discourse. We'll either own the field or lose it.

Many of us hold similar beliefs. Be careful of your tone if you want to avoid alienating those that you might need as allies.

What I've discovered over five years with this crowd is literally dozens of friends who I now know personally. And I don't mean just fake internet friends. And probably hundreds who have become my close aquaintances who have helped me online and off and who I expect would stand beside me should the occasion arise.
