Bigoted or not, the truth will set you free. How is it bigoted to call bigots "bigots"? You seem to forget what The Civil War was really about.

I second that position. Impeachment before the clown starts in on Iran. And remains the president by halting the elections. Calling Marshall law and suspending Congress/Senate
Violalee....
A nice way to say he lied.

A just war does not have to be "sold". Bush and Cheney should be impeached immediately.

If you truly believe that last sentence, you are a bigot. And calling a bigot a bigot is not bigoted. It's sort of like that semantic game you on the right like to play----you're not being tolerant of my intolerant views. Tolerance only means tolerating that which does no harm. It doesn't extend to bigoted views.

It is "bigoted", and also pretty much "the truth"...
The Civil War was partially about whether or not states admitted to the Union were to be slave states or free...

You've just proven that you, as a southern man, are a bigot.

You guys make it way too easy.

Another "turncoat" surfaces and dishes up some real poo poo on Bush and Co....as if we didn't suspect....this is just sweet confirmation.
i was in dc for quite a few of bush's years as president. whats sort of interesting, is that McClellan sort of does confirm the 'rumors' about bush that were nearly constantly floating about

considering his position and what he was defending on stage and his complete turn around, i believe him. he was obviously lied to and/or manipulated by rove, cheney or something. and then lied to the american people.

if its true, and he testifies to this under oath, i say good for him

hmmmm...so all us southerners are bigots, are we? thats nice. amazing how some of teh posters who make ridiculous reports ALL the time, also seem to be able to put it out there, but not take it? also find it hugely ironic, that many of those who gripe about stereotypes etc. actually perpetuate them themselves. nice

by the way, it was not truly a civil war. it was a war between the states. the confederacy did NOT want to take over dc, or the govt. it wanted to separate. big difference there

by the way and for the record. i am not, and will not, edit, report nor take any action in this thread. free speech and debate is great. however, a warning. should this thread spiral down into insults, or other inappropriate comments (which we all know what they are), the thread will be deleted

Apparently we are. I'm still trying to figure out against what or who though, or how the people who disparage us could possibly justify themselves...
