it would have been best had the South won the Civil War

Quote:Nugent is now a "conervative spokesperson"? I sure didn't vote for him.

He has been for quite sometime. He is on the board of the NRA. Conservative publications regularly publish his op-eds.

Quote:Oh, you mean he goes on shows with those talking heads I was talking about previously? Yeah, that brings us back to "you need to get out more."

This insult isn't really working for you. Try a new one.

Quote:As for the North vs. South thing: Southern is as Southern does. Nugent is no Yankee if he thinks the South should have won. So I'd put him in the ranks of "Southern convert" regardless of where he was born.

Nugent is from Michigan, not the South. But that was an interesting dodge of my question. Let's try again and see if we can get a straight answer out of you. Do you think that the belief that the South should have won the civil war is so widespread in the South that when Ted Nugent says the South should have won the war, it's not newsworthy?

When you put it that way then the answer is yes.

Quote: He is on the board of the NRA. Conservative publications regularly publish his op-eds.

Oh, the board of the NRA? Well then obviously he speaks for every single conservative everywhere. You win.

And op-eds...yeah, there's a reason they publish those under "opinion"

Interesting stereotype you have of the South.

I've lived in Georgia and Alabama for almost 5 years now. I've also lived in Mississippi and South Carolina.

In my experience it's not a stereotype.

[Zadig]

It is a stereotype. Where it's a valid one or not, is the question. It's not, but you're welcome to believe otherwise.

Would you care to enlighten us with how many years you have lived in the South other than your stint at BJU?

[Zadig]

My whole life, which I'm guessing is much longer than yours given your naivete.

Ah! So you're personally invested in it not being true.

Fair enough.

(yes, I am playing troll the troll here. It's rather fun.)

[Zadig]

No more than you are. But I do get a kick out of your weasel routine.

You really do need to get out more.
