And the funeral for our Constitution will be held when?
There is no longer a need for it to be protected from enemies foreign and domestic, {taps plays softly in the background}, on our watch, this generation allowed this nation to crumble from within. And not a shot was fired. May she rest in peace and be remembered for the great nation she once was. -
Don't loose faith. -

And by the way--------the South did not succeed------it was Lincoln who breached the US constitution-------we in the South merely were minding each state's "business" -
burn the carrrr...ds
Now, I would have burned my customer list; liberal Dems. would not be offended by that, not after B.C. participated in burning draft cards...certainly.

So let me get this straight.....
The south started the Civil War by firing on their own fort ?
I've heard some stupid things here, but this sure does take the cake. -

OK, I apologize for that. I had Johnson & Sumpter confused. It appears mine was the stupid statement.

<B>Repeated demands having been made upon Major Anderson, and upon the President, for the relinquishment of Fort Sumter, and these demands having been refused and the government at Washington having concluded to supply and reinforce the fort by force of arms, it was determined to summon Major Anderson to evacuate the fort, for the last time. Accordingly, on April 11th, General Beauregard sent him the following communication:
</B>
Headquarters Provisional Army, C. S. A.
Charleston, April 11, 1861.
<B>Major Anderson replied as follows:Sir: The government of the Confederate States has hitherto foreborne from any hostile demonstrations against Fort Sumter, in hope that the government of the United States, with a view to the amicable adjustment of all questions between the two governments, and to avert the calamities of war, would voluntarily evacuate it.
There was reason at one time to believe that such would be the course pursued by the government of the United States, and under that impression my government has refrained from making any demand for the surrender of the fort. But the Confederate States can no longer delay assuming actual possession of a fortification commanding the entrance of one of their harbors and necessary to its defense and security.
I am ordered by the government of the Confederate States to demand the evacuation of Fort Sumter. My aides, Colonel Chestnut and Captain Lee, are authorized to make such demand of you. All proper facilities will be afforded for the removal of yourself and command, together with company arms and property, and all private property, to any post in the United States which you may select. The flag which you have upheld so long and with so much fortitude, under the most trying circumstances, may be saluted by you on taking it down. Colonel Chestnut and Captain Lee will, for a reasonable time, await your answer.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
G. T. BEAUREGARD,
Brigadier-General Commanding.
</B>
Fort Sumter, S.C.,
April 11, 1861.
General: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication demanding the evacuation of this fort, and to say, in reply thereto, that it is a demand with which I regret that my sense of honor, and of my obligations to my government, prevent my compliance. Thanking you for the fair, manly and courteous terms proposed, and for the high compliment paid me,
I am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
ROBERT ANDERSON,
Major, First Artillery, Commanding.

I realize this is explanation was a bit simplistic, but it became apparent that your and mr. Snow think so lowly of conservatives; I thought I'd explain how what we really think. Now you're enlightened. Not that the venom will stop...but it will be venemous attacks that are well-informed. You're welcome.
I know you're disappointed to find out that we believe and honor the Bible...and that we value the Constitution. Sorry. -
I think most of their ideologies like fiscally responsible are good. Do you find it add that most American's call themselves conservative yet the Republican party is shrinking? If you look under that fact you will see others who agree with me. -
