You are a boneheaded neo-confederate who knows nothing, I have NO Yankee
ancestor, I'll put my southern ancestor up agin yours anytime, I was kicked
off the southern list for merely bringing up slavery , because you all were
afraid to discuss it, isn't slavery part of southern history or just the
part you don't wish to talk about, but I would like to thank those
neo-confederates whos ravings has done more to expose there theory for what
it is the antique, outdated, ravings of lunatic madpeople, I couldn't
possibly have done it so well , keep up the good work. And Easter is a pagan
holiday in honor of a pagan goddess and my sister is Jewish and I have
celebrated Passover, You person that knows it all , I want nothing to do
with your foolish faith or its followers, If Ruddy would do something when
you nuts start glorifying the confederacy, I wouldn't have to.
Thomas
