The idea that there are still parks and places named after Civil War Generals from the South

29. Lots of Teabaggers still want to fight that war

This stuff is alive and well because a large number of cowardly racists know that if they display their true feelings about their fellow Americans, most good people will shame them- so they hide behind manufactured heritage arguments.

The question before America in the time leading up to the civil war was: does the federal government have the right to enforce the primacy of the federal bill of rights over states' restrictions about who was an American citizen and what those basic liberties were.

The civil war was fought so that elitist racists didn't get to decide that civil rights could be restricted by the states.
And now Teabaggers want to re-fight that war because they aren't convinced yet.
It's been more than 100 years since these radicals lost and were proven wrong- why do so many Americans think that Teabaggers should be treated as legitimate political agents with a right to a voice in our political system?
Shouldn't they have to give this whole "State's Rights are a constitutional primacy" propaganda up, since they lost the argument in the legislature and on the battlefield?
In fact- I'm sure they had to sign some papers to that effect to become citizens again after the war.
