Wow! That's the best video that I've seen in years! So much action... beautiful sets...great acting... intriguing story line that held to historically proven facts...monumental cast (particularly the scantily clad leading lady). Kudos to the director!

Oh...wait-a-hold-it! I guess that I didn't need that fourteenth cup of coffee, cuz I might be hallucinating just a little bit.

Sorry 'bout dat!
 
Words to one of my favorite songs.....

Mill worker houses lined up in a row,
Another southern Sunday morning blow
Beneath the steeple all the people have begun
Shakin' hands with the man who grips the gospel gun
While the quiet prayer, the smell of dinner on the ground
Heals up the morning air, ain't nothin' sweeter around
I can almost hear my mama pray:
"Oh lord forgive us when we doubt, "
Another sacred Sunday in the south
A ragged rebel flag flies high above it all
Popping in the wind like an angry cannon ball
The holes of history are cold and still,
But they smell the powder burnin' and they probably always will
And on the old town square under the barber shop pole,
They sat me up in the chair when I was four years old
I can almost hear my papa say:
"Won't you hold still son, stop squirmn' around
Another sacred sundays coming down"
I can almost hear the old folks say:
"You'll make it big one day, you'll leave this town, "
Some other lazy Sunday you'll come back around
I can feel the evening sun go down,
And all the lights in the houses one by one go out
Softly in the distance nothing stirs about
And the night is filled with the sound of a whipporwil
On a Sunday in the south
 
Yes, to their (Yankees') eternal shame, better people than Yankee scum do still exist.

I was not the one who 'presumed' the Lord's prerogative by "eternal"ly condemning someone I didn't know. I quote you... "burn in Hell." Better check some scripture on the subject and rules of the forum. And that will be all I have to say on the topic.
 
I will just leave this right here

I'm from the South
And I'll whip your ass
I don't take no mouth
I don't take no sass.
I'm from the South
And I'll whip your ass.

May all Yankee scum burn in Hell. Those past and those present.

Easy there with that broad brush, killer...

I've close friends from above the Mason-Dixon that are prouder to call the South "home" and take more pride in Southern culture than some of the folks born here.

As I've said in another thread, it isn't as much where they/we are born, but the mindset of wanting to rule and wanting to not be ruled.

Damn, you don't want to create any national divisions, do you?

Not that I want to, but more that it seems necessary. The so-called union is a trainwreck, in so many ways. There isn't a parachute big enough to save the whole thing. Some balkanization and bunches of parachutes might fare better.

You do know that the war is over, don't you?

Sherman burned a lot, but he didn't burn us out. The heart beats, still.

And people wonder why Southerners get stereotyped.

Actual "people" may wonder, but monsters do not. Monsters know exactly why they stereotype someone else. It's easier to justify a people's eradication after you've trivialized their existence, or demonized them.

Here's a picture of some others that were stereotyped-
