Damn right, I say so!
My mother is white and my father is black. You bet I ****ing say so!
Uhuh and I'm one quarter Cherokee, Scottish, French, and German. Ask me if I give a crap about your opinion of the Missouri Partisan Rangers. Missouri saw the bloodiest action out of all the theaters of the war and called for guerilla tactics. My two ancestors rode with Quantrill's Raiders and served with distinction until their deaths during The Payback.
Oh yeah. Missouri saw the bloodiest tactics. That's why the war's bloodiest events happend in places other than, Missouri.
How does a person ride with Quantrill, and serve with distinction? He was a piece of **** and brought shame on the honorable soldiers who fought for the Confederacy.

I see that you've bought in the Union propaganda regarding the Missouri Partisan Rangers. That explains everything to me. When I stated that Missouri saw the bloodiest action out of all the theaters of the war I meant it. In Missouri it was total and unrestrained warfare against everything and everyone. Civilians murdered by the US Army, their possessions looted, their counties put under martial law and breaking it meant instant firing squad, the burning of entire towns to the ground, and the destruction of pretty much every manufacturing plant and farm within its borders. No other state saw that much destruction for as along as Missouri did in the entire course of the war. Contrary to popular opinion, Quantrill did fight against only military targets and refused to attack civilians. It just happened that the US Army was cowardly and hide behind civilians in order to prevent from their positions from being attacked.
Off topic but
HA!!! The word honorable and confederacy should never be in the same sentence.

Your revisonist history brings disgrace upon Conservatives. Change your politicale leaning to, "very Liberal". Please?
I notice that you didn't present proof to dispute my statement, instead you attack me. How quaint.
Present proof?
Ok...let's see... two words..."Lawrence, Kansas".
HELLO?!?!?!?
Wait, so a group of states that succeeded from the Union, and fought to keep the institution of slavery alive is honorable? You've got to be kidding me.
LOL Do you get your history from the back of a crackerjack box?
Slavery wasn't even one of the primary reasons for the civil war.
For God's sake do some research.

No offense, but many of those fighting in the Confederacy did not own slaves, and didn't even believe that they ever would. In fact, Virginia was intitially neutral towards the war, until the Union tried to draft Virginians to fight for their side and to insist on using Virginia to get to the other states. Many who fought for the Confederacy, actually fought more for state's soveignty than to maintain slavery.
I don't agree with seceding, but I also don't like how people miscontrue history. I know that we were all taught that the Civil War was about slavery, but that just isn't completely true. My husband is a huge Civil War buff, I have learned a lot since I've been with him. I am really glad the Union won, but that doesn't mean that I think all Confederate soldiers were wrong and/or scum or even that they were all racist.
I'm not saying that they were all slave owners, I know very few people in the south actually owned slaves. But I wouldn't call them honorable, misguided fools would be the best term to describe most of the soldiers in the confederacy.

They were fighting for what they believed was a good cause. Many could have cared less whether slavery was legal or not, but they didn't like the idea of a strong central government. I don't think they were any more or less honorable than those soldiers fighting for the Union. They were just fighting to maintain their ideals. I personally disagree with their beliefs, for the most part (although there were some unfair taxes imposed on the South prior to the Civil War that I don't agree with), I still don't believe they were fools.
Yeah, some, but more people than not wanted to keep slavery in tact. And more people in the confederacy than not were racist. To fight for an institution that promoted slavery, is still wrong. No matter what you have rationalized in your head as another reason to fight for it. Yeah, they believed in what they were fighting for, but that doesn't make them honorable. They were misguided fools, no matter how you want to paint it.

I support DADT. Anyone who doesn't is a hypocrite.
Actually, it's not. Have you spent time in a fighting position with a gay soldier? Have you spent time in a fighting position with any soldier? Again, be honest.
