Traitors' Memorial Day

Well well....here we are again....In North & South Carolina May10 is Confederate Memorial Day....A day set aside for the traitors that turned their backs on this country in the name of "states' rights".Excuse me for thinking that honoring such traitors is stupid and hypocritical. In South Carolina, the only way that the state legislature would acknowledge Dr. Martin Luther King's holiday was to have a "Confederate Memorial Day"...The good ole south....I know people that romanticize the "good" southerners and try to rationalize with the stale "it wasn't about slavery" argument...If you believe that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War, then you must also believe that Ronald Reagan never dyed his hair....I own a copy of the "Ordinance Of Secession" and among the grievances that was stated by S.C. was the issue of SLAVERY....I'm going to work on Confederate Memorial Day....I'll make a special trip to John C. Calhoun's statue (he was a huge proponent of slavery and for "states' rights"...not a coincidence) and shoot him the bird....Hey, it could be worse.
