The 'Patriots' have a view of humanity and history as skewed as the leaders of the Confederacy.

I grew up surrounded with the trappings of it. I cannot be offended by the truth.

Place of origin prejudice or regionalism, speaks to the shallowness of the speaker, not the infinite variety of the human race.

Just sayin'
