Hmmm........We've Seen These Dangerous Assholes Before...

So, you don't think that in the end that the Teabaggers will go through with destroying the country??? Well, they are not new---they have been among us before. And the last time 620,000+ Americans died. Sooo, the Sec. of War wrote to Gen. Sherman toward the end of the war and asked what should be done with these people when the South was defeated. He wrote back that the elders who started this (plantation owners who loved their money-making system)were no problem. Said they were always begging him when the troops were near to spare their property, etc. and they would do whatever the Union wanted (while the peons they sent to fight their cause were being slaughtered). But Sherman said their sons were a bunch of bums who never worked a day in their useless lives, loved to get all liquored up over some asshole "ideology", play soldier (officer variety) and were dangerous. He said that at the end of the war we better get them working for the USA or kill them because they would forever try to destroy this country. Wonder what advice Sherman would give us today..............(I think the elderly in their districts will probably drown them in Grover's proverbial bathtub).

to be 'dealt' with, perhaps at the river.

Whole towns and Churches in Tennessee were known to take up arms for the Union

But yeah, you're right

the plantation owners were of old "upper class" British stock. They were raised with the belief that those with the most assets were blessed by God. :eyes: Many churches were open in preaching the beliefs of Calvin, (you station in life has been predetermined, to question it is to go against God's will) therefore slaves were in their positions because of God's will. :wtf:

The Calvinist Dutch were also possessed with this idea of being the "new chosen" because of their work ethic, and dadgummit, God GAVE US THIS LAND.

They went in two directions: (1) - to the Americas where they assimilated into the neo-English culture and (2) - to South Africa where they insulated themselves and became the Boers.

that I HATE Calvinists! I negotiating, if evil exist, Calvinism is IT!

Only to be outdone by John Knox...

It and the German farmers all around it -- they valued the freedom they found in the United States and didn't want to see some CSA. And some of them were murdered for their beliefs.

had true hutzpah indeed!

:thumbsup:

As in "I will go shoots Pa because he's a damn yankee!"

Sorry, bad joke

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Confederate army would be first in line to drive the fuckers away just to avoid the association.

southerners, then the war may have gone on for a longer period of time as a guerilla one.
