I cannot stop reading political blogs, it's like a sickness
As usual, the Rude Pundit says it better than I would have:
Let's get this straight, oh, dear people of the South: the North kicked your cracker ass. You begged them to stop. You bent over and said, "No, c'mon, if we let you fuck us in the ass, will you end this?" You thought you were so fucking tough, seceding and daring the North to fuck with you. And when you ended up with your cities burned, your slaves freed, and your fake government in ruins, you never got over it, not since Appomattox. So you fetishize this shit. You build monuments to traitors, you parade around with your shirts and your yards and your pick-ups sporting the flag of your defeated pseudo-country, jacking off to the idea that one day...oh, god, shit, smack it, one day, Dixie will rise again.
Except it won't. And as much as you prance around and pretend that the good ol' days are anything but ol' and gone, you'll wallow in the mud pit of ignorance with the rest of the pigs of history.
Honestly, I spend a lot of time wondering how things would have gone if the US had actually treated the treasonous south the way it deserved to be treated after the war. I'm not saying Lincoln's course of action wasn't the right one. I'm just saying he's a better person than me.
