5. Nothing more pathetic than celebrating a past glory that never was.

Shameful creatures, these Civil War lovers. They lost, but, instead of forming their own country, which would have most certainly been a failure, like the Republic of Texas, they still managed to do things "their way." They succeeded in doing this for another century, and, in many ways, are still succeeding.
We are constantly told there are "good cops" and good Southerners." Where the fuck are they? Silence is complicity. I know many are speaking out and fighting back, but we have to assume the majority is on board.
