Hey Paul. That name is not one to be spoken too loudly around these parts. I was absolutely amazed when I moved south and found Sherman was still looked on as a devil. Sore losers still abound. :^) Reply #226. Feb 08 12, 1:20 PM |

Bleh on what he said. They had a word for Yankees like you who move down here. I prefer "infiltrator". On the other hand...I agree.. the war ended 147 years ago. North won, South lost. Most people have moved on. I don't have a rebel flag for a living room curtain but I can surely sympathize with the most of the Southern causes back then (slavery excluded, of course). Even before my father's father They called us all rebels While they burned down our cornfields and left our cities leveled I can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils As I walk around Through the concrete and metal Hey, hey, hey!
