The southern Confederates were Americans who lost the American Civil War, embraced American values and remained with the Union. You better wake up. You aren't speaking to a college idiot or a clueless or naive young pup that rolls with what they view/perceive as popular opinion on Snap chat, Facebook, Youtube or Twitter these days or another Marxist or an anarchist or a half wit with a mental health issue. I've labelled you a Marxist and you've labelled yourself a Marxist and so has Dave and so has Bob. You are all guilty of being associated with Marxism at one time or another and not letting go of it entirely. Yes, there is still hope with China still being around leaching off global capitalism and American capitalism and contributing large sums of money to colleges who teach it for them. Nope, none of this means nothing to you and you can ignore and dismiss it as usual.

As someone who actually lives in the south, you might consider another line of argument than that.  Here's a bit of real history, provided by my local paper.  And this is only about the guys in the 20th century.  The guys in the 19th were a lot worse.

So, are your neighbors KKK or Neo Nazi or they more class and culture oriented? I assume the south ain't that bad or scary these days since you chose to live there. Do you know how many times that you have contracted yourself with me over the years? So, do you want it to go back to the way it was during the 20th century or what? I ask because what you're doing and what you are supporting goes against conventional wisdom as it relates to progress. I mean footage of black people running around with stolen TV's and burning stuff doesn't help despite whatever excuse or rational you apply to justify what we've seen take place.
