If the country divided along political afflilation poll

The Constitution defines "treason" thusly:

" Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

Note the use of the plural in " levying War against them." In other words, making war against any of the states in the United States is an act of treason. If anyone is guilty of treason, it's Lincoln and the Union States. They made war on the Confederacy and invaded those states.

Why should anyone value a fascist totalitarian union that makes war on its own citizens?

The Southern states committed treason by seceding from the United States and firing on Fort Sumter.

My regret is that the United States Army did not make better use of the Henry Rifle and the Gatling Gun. These would have annihilated the Confederate Army and facilitated Reconstruction. Southern white women who wanted to get married would have had to choose between freed slaves, or the Union veterans who had killed their male relatives and sweethearts.

The culture of the South would have been pulled out by the roots and thrown away. The South has always been the armpit of the United States, if not the rectum.

Do you mean when they participated in crushing the rebellion of some foolhardy traitors who valued the institution of slavery more than the Union itself?

If your unhealthy obsession with the just crushing of a traitorous and immoral rebellion has led you to so consider the Union then YOU are free to leave any time. Be a man - an individual man - and use your feet to show the courage of your convictions. We'll all - the ENTIRE Union - be just fine without you. Go ahead, show you have some backbone to go along with your dramatic proclamations.

"America, love it or leave it" the classic redneck reply. Obviously, you don't care to defend the actions of your divine savior Abraham or of the union.

Your "be a man" shtick is precious. What an asshole,

Mississippi most conservative state. Vermont most liberal.

Does Howard Dean have to be my neighbor?

Why? Did he lose a bet?

Is this your way of saying you don't have the courage of your convictions? All big mouth and hot air? Duly noted.

You're as bad as him and as unqualified to call yourself an American if you would so sweepingly denigrate an entire region of this great nation more than a century after an ill-considered act of treason was rightly put down. Your posts here on a number of issues reveal that "the rectum" is a station to which you could never hope to aspire. He's an idiot on this issue, but you're an idiot in general.

Progressives have a long history of being violent and nonproductive.

For example in former USSR and China where they have killed more as 200m of people.

The problem begins with conservatives who insinuate that Communism is progressive, when we all know it is nothing more than authoritarian rule, but please keep trying to convince us differently.

progressivism is totalitarian by default, as everything leftist.

USSR was NOT communist, it was socialist, dumbo.

learn the terminology

Vermont vs Mississippi

It's a no brainer.

 

[boilermaker55]

Hell yes! to the victors go the spoils. to bad that they didnt take all the land that those rotten slave owners had and gave it away.

Mississippi most conservative state. Vermont most liberal.

Where would you rather live?

You're forgetting the the citizens of Vermont participated in an invasion of Mississippi and raped, pillaged, looted and burned the state to the ground. They then spent the next 100 years exploiting and looting the state of everything they could get out of it.

Yes, you need to learn it.

Socialism is economics: Great Britain, France, USSR, Denmark, Sweden, and other countries have used it.

Communism is government by the proletariat: the USSR and the Soviet block, Red China, etc.

Vox, you don't get your own definitions and terms.

you may want to learn terminology as well, then you will stop posting the bullshit about "socialism being economic" and "communism being the rule of the proletariat". clearly you are STERILE on the subject

The Bible says to kill disobedient children, Moonglow.

As a teenager, that's when I realized scripture was to be read with a ton of salt.

Biblical literalism did not really take hold until the dawn of the Evangelical and Fundamentalist movement here in the US. Based on the Literalist view of the Bible, I could not in good conscience consider myself a Christian.

Just as well. Back then it would have been too much trouble dealing with the massive flooding every 14 years or so. The Mississippi Flood of 1927 was a doozy!

In other words, you have nothing.

You need to stay on OP, you need to add content, you need to stop this silly obstructionism because you folks lost control of the government and will never get it back.

Done deal.

No one who thinks can be such a Christian and live the Two Great Commandments.

I think most independent polls think the conservatives out number liberals almost two to one...

40% conservative....35% moderate and only 21% consider themselves liberal.
