They were when they attacked us! Hypocrite! It just shows how unaware and vapid your statements are. If a confederate action 150 years ago sets you off, then how about something from 70 years ago. Please, please start thinking thru what you are posting before doing so. You just look more and more unaware.
Wha?

"Wha?" should be your tag.

Again, 150 years ago it was roundly believed that the union was a confederation of states and that the states had the right to leave. Times were much different then. You can't view it through today's lens, and that is the problem in saying they were traitors, etc.
Nolan never learned this in school. He got an A+ in condoms on banana class, though. :mrgreen:
