Unreconstructed Southerners

When I was in Florida I saw a guy wearing a t-shirt that had the Confederate Flag on it and the words that said something to the effect of "If this offends you try taking a history class"

Let me think, what that history class might tell me. That flag is the symbol of a breakaway group of rebellious states who tried to tear apart my country because things weren't going their way politically and just maybe someone might tinker with the growth of their antiquated way of life by actually not allowing the expansion of slavery into new territories. Not even really talking emancipating the slaves, nope.. just not allowing in new States as if it were their God given right.

So, Robert E. Lee the XXV, pardon me if I don't see your point of few, you stupid boiled peanut eating, 5 cars on blocks in front of your trailer house living, Lost Cause loving fuckhead. I don't want to hear shit about fighting for your rights or Northern agression, you fucking morons decided that you didn't want your little way of life disrupted so you tried to tear apart what your considerable smarter forefathers created. Although things were much more left to the individual states then, plenty of people from the North spent blood and capital to make the whole country great and that includes the South.

Thank God I know plenty of Southerners who actually have a outlook not rooted in misplaced joy of old times not forgotten. Time to catch up with the rest of us folks.
