Wow! Really relevant, cutting edge stuff here. Got anything from the 20th century? Maybe rail against the Whig party?

Wow! You chose to respond to an observation concerning. treasonous racists. Got anything to say about people who support equality and freedom for all? Did I touch a nerve? Does it hurt to know that the "brave Sons of the Confederacy," deserted their posts when things got tough? The worship of the Confederacy is such a joke. The worship of their various symbols is weak.

Oh look, strawmen abound! How surprising. Show me a single meme where I've said anything about the Confederacy.

And regardless if you don't like them and they make you want to cry, the confederacy soliders were overall brave men that were crushed by numbers and military spending. The soldiers that retreated didn't do so because of moral disagreements like your misguided meme tries to present. That's why I bothered to say anything, you're just upset i interrupted your exercise in virtue signalling and D&C.

But continue, maybe talk about the Mongols under Genghis Khan. They killed alot of innocents and were 'racist'. The Romans, they took slaves and were mean. Oh wait... Nevermind...

Your first error is to think that anything you say upsets me. You are humorous in your self important way. Saying that, I am not going to continue to have a circular conversation with you. I know why, of all the memes in all the world, you chose that one, Even if you are not honest enough to say so publicly.

Well, that's awesome that you know what everyone thinks at all time. You caught me and I'm exposed!! I must be pro slavery if I question a point in an anti Southern meme! Way to go!

Pssst (I comment on other memes than just yours)

But i was also curious if you'd pull out the slurs. You didn't disappoint.

I is purported to be a Confederate Battle Flag. My post has to do with deserters from the military. None-the-less, Bro, I am impressed with your ability to distinguish between the battle flags of the various treasonous states. It must be a gift.

The relationship between the EU states has a legal process for individual members to leave.That is what is going on over there. I have read the Constitution, and I can't find the part that says, "If you racists want to continue to own other human beings, go ahead and leave." Would you care to point me to that? What the EU has is more like the Articles of Confederation, enacted in 1781, which were superceded by the Constitution.

I can see how you might find facts and information gleaned from an education and continued curiosity as being "full retard." Fundamental attribution error, be damned, label others because it makes you feel superior. Well played.

What about the first few years, when volunteers were poring in, and they were turning people away?

They didn't have enough weapons, at the outset. A shortage of weapons and gear, not enthusiasm caused them to have to turn away volunteers. In fact, they had to conscript men by the second year of the war and used slaves for some jobs. Reading history is a burden. But, it keeps one from being embarassed by saying something that is incorrect because one simply does not know the truth.

You made a broad statement in your meme that had no context. They deserted have heavy losses and a lack of food, as well as terrible conditions at home, not because of a flag that's all i was saying. We could probably have a good conversation had i not been rude and said you went full retard. That was my bad.

That's what I said too. Larry is a good dude. His heart is in the right place although I disagree with him.
