re: How are you remembering Union Soldiers that died in the Civil War

I don't understand how a person can be as close minded as you are on this topic. You have been on a consistent rant for three or four days across multiple threads pontificating about how CSA soldiers could never be honored "in any way". Frankly you just sound like a drama queen.

Over 20 years ago I was innocently enough on alt.civilwar or some such and some neo reb creep said - just like on this board that the states could withdraw at will or pleasure from the federal government.

"Well, that is not right," I said. "The Preamble to the Constitution says one purpose of ordaining the Constitution is to form a 'More Perfect Union.'"

Right away this neo reb came back: "That is not what it says at all!"

My reaction: WTF?

But it does say that -- no state can legally get out of the Union without the agreement of the other states.

And so far, no state has been able to fight its way out.

I get tired of their idiot nonsense.

Any board you post on has lurkers. People who read but seldom or maybe never comment.

When this neo reb nonsense is put forth it needs to countered. It need to be countered especially to honor Americans who died fighting for Old Glory and the nation the founders bequeathed to us.
