    FWIW - I might have some nuances a bit sideways. This is all coming from my Problems of Democracy class in high school in the 80's plus random reading since. Plus I hear what I want to hear at times...
    Ok, well I'm certainly not defending the confederacy. I just thought you were saying they wanted a strong federal government but they decided to give a few rights to the states....actually, I'm pretty sure that's almost exactly what you said

    Weren't those Confederates, you know the ones that everyone here is down on, for the most part Democrats? The ones in favor of secession, slavery, etc. ....Scotty.

    What would your national anthem be?
    Would there be higher education? Or education at all?
    Who would the first Secretary of Religion be?
    What would the executive branch do (aside from look for witches?)
    What percentage of North Dakotans would have to vote for Secession in order for it to be valid? I'd think that you'd want more than a simple majority, but true Secessionists would probably argue that God wants you to let the Bismarck Brain Trust decide the issue for you.
    Do you really think Colorado, Minnesota and Illinois would go along with the idiot cabaret? Or even Georgia?
    How are you going to prevent my Union Civil War widow and Dakota Homestead-filing Great-Great Grandmother from emerging from her grave and dragging you by your ears straight to eternal damnation where you can talk about how hot it is with Robert E. Lee and Co?
    What would the Idiocratic Bill of Rights look like?
    What would you call this new confederacy?

    So many questions... This might be my favorite thread tangent ever!
    Same questions to your side, and I’ll help by answering your second question for you: White.

    Yep—and not much has changed. To this day they despise successes of African Americans/Black people. Heck, just Google Biden’s nonsensical attack of Clarence Thomas during Thomas’s Supreme Court nomination process, or, if you’re looking for a more modern attack, take a look at what they are doing to Herschel Walker in one of Tony’s confederate states—Georgia.

    Herschel must be one of those "Not really Black" types that Uncle Joe referred to?

    Ask Tony that. Don’t have the answer.

    I do have an answer to his third question tho. We’ll keep our National Anthem and God Bless America. They/his side can come up with new ones. After all, they prefer to kneel on the necks of those—not to personify those of course.

    Yes, your point that's relevant today is what exactly?

    Actually that would be fitting. Could role them up in a pointed coned hat in a pinch.

    I think post #364 says it better than I can.
