Confederate history month in Virginia

[Razgovory]

1861-1865 was Virginia's finest hour. It is only fitting that they commemorated it.

This is part of a general tide of a Southern renaissance, anyhow. Obama's election is paying dividends.

Losing a war is the finest hour?  I'd hate to see what the worst one is.

While I agree with you in this specific instance, a heroic stand for a lost cause can be a nation's finest hour if the cause is just.

Give some examples.

Is crushing defeat really something to commemorate?

ask the Légion Étrangère.

Or ask a Texan about the Alamo.

Of course, Texans are southerners, so that might not prove anything.

Bonnie Prince Charlie 1746

Warsaw Uprising  1944
Hungarian Uprising 1956

The part of the nation that went to war to enforce their enslavement of blacks is now incredibly pissed off that they are lead  by a black man!?   WHO WOULD HAVE  GUESSED?! 

[Eddie Teach]

Uhh, Virginia voted for Obama.

Confederatard romanticism would be cute if it wasn't so seditious.  And stupid.

George Washington wants you to go fuck yourself.


Stupid ass board architecture and its weak ass mod powers.

I give you Virginia's Finest Hours, 1776 and 1787

Madison, Jefferson and Washington are it's heroes. Not traitors like Davis, Lee and Forrest. 

Edit: I'm agreeing with Seedy, one more seal to go before the apocalypse.

This thread is full of win.

The South is not "incredibly pissed off" right now.  Sure, there are a few fringe lunatics that spring to mind.   You might however be surprised to learn that not all people in the South think and act exactly alike.  Why, we even have negroes down here, many of whom are not at all pissed off about Obama's election!

Davis was from Mississippi, Forrest was from Tennessee.

Well, the point is, they were traitors who should have been hung.

Um we won the war moron.

You deserve to be insulted for calling us southerners.
