Don't care for tats either.  Not a deal breaker.  Though being a Neo-Nazi probably is.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That the Stars and Stripes is the only legally and morally valid flag in that pic.
The crimes committed in the name of the Stars and Stripes put it in the same category as the the swastika and the Confederate flags.

What do you mean by 'legally valid'?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You can respect an American without supporting slavery, segregation, the genocide of the native Americans and their policy of waging aggressive wars.

Come on Neil, regardless of what you think of his merits, being the country that gave birth to Billy Mitchell is not a crime. For that matter, Billy Mitchell as born in France.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Absolutely disagree.  Firing at each other is how dreadnoughts pay respect.

No.  Airplanes don't engage in the warfare of likes.  They don't fight for status.

I think being an original Nazi would be a dealbreaker. YMMV.

We're a bit past 1808 now.

I noticed that, but this clause had no time-limit in the extract.

Quoteand that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate

Although I wouldn't imagine that would stop you reducing the number of senators to one per state, or increasing it to three or more, if the unlikely need or desire ever arose.

I just noticed this thread.

In one day I have seen a Languishite say that a map looks good and now an ACW discussion not started by way of a highjack.
