If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction.....?

...You wouldn't have to put up with us redneck Southerners running around with our Confederate flags and always going about the War of Northern Agression and how Lee should have listened to Longstreet, because we wouldn't be doing it!

Hell, there probably wouldn't be country music either.

You brought it all on yourselves, so suck it Yankees!

Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

But the South is getting their revenge in the long run. Low cost of housing, good weather, great employment opportunities mean half of New Jersey is in my neighborhood. Way more people come to the South than ever leave it.

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

The North got it all wrong.

Thanks to global warming, in another 100 years, we'll have to grow the cotton up north. South will be too hot and dry.

so if the north had just had patience, in 250 years slavery would've disappeared anyway.

Hey I had a mammy! Only difference is we had to pay her and offer dental and vision.

She used to bounce me on her knee and say, "Aaaaw yo is yo momma's little chocolate baby!"

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

Sounds more like the North getting revenge.

Already, Northerners are the majority in Florida.

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

What the fuck is this pathetic shit?

IT WAS ALL OVER 142 YEARS AGO! NO ONE ON EITHER SIDE IS STILL ALIVE! NO ONE CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE NORTH EVER DID ANYTHING TO ANYONE CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE SOUTH TO WARRANT MASS CULTURAL OR POLITCAL ANGER. YOU ALL SOUND LIKE RETARDED IDIOTS CONSTANTLY HARPING ON IT.

We're all citizen of the United States of America, and have been for six or seven generations. No one outside the south even gives this shit a second thought unless it's on the History Channel. Only you poor, sad, souls down in the corner of the country.

What, you folks aren't gonna be happy until you turn the US into Northern Ireland or Palestine? You wanna live in a place like that? You have it so bad down there that you think living in a state of constant warfare will be better?

I'm still working for California's secession.

New Jersey should pay for its own road work.

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

New Jersey has the fourth largest federal tax dollar deficit in the country, and, at a glance, I'd say the largest on a per capita basis, so New Jersey is paying its own way. Boy is it paying.

Song, song of the south,
sweet potato pie and shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind,
there ain't nobody lookin' back again.

Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch
We all picked cotton but we never got rich
Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat
They oughta get a rich man to vote like that.

Singin' song, song of the south,
sweet potato pie and shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind,
there ain't nobody lookin' back again.

I'm not a Yankee, I'm an American.

I apologize for upsetting you by posting this parody thread. It was meant as light hearted humor, but apparently it's hit a sore spot for you. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

There's a whole mess of blue paying for backwards red, IMO!

Re: If the North hadn't been opressive, asshole, sore winners during Reconstruction..

No harm done. But my "yankee" brain just can't grasp why anyone would even care after 142 years, and you guys get so damn serious about it all it just freaks me out. And my once-a-year trips to the Land of Foxworthy continually reinforce the feeling.

Like my sister's ex-boyfriend who was afraid to visit my Dad's cabin in NY state because "It's awful fur inta Yankee ter'tory."

Don't worry, the patrols stopped quite a while ago.

There's no more reason to call me a Yankee than there is to, I don't know, to call someone in England a Saxon or a Roundhead. It's an obsolete term.
