| | | Find the perfect gift for the political fanatics you love, including civil war stamp! | Political debates of every kind. | Will another American Civil War erupt soon? | | Arizona has gone around the federal government in passing a law that will make it a federal crime to be in the state of Arizona illegally. Opposition to the law are worried that the law will promote racial profiling by police in Arizona. Supporters of the law disagree. The Obama administration is set to challenge the law. It seems like everyday, local and state governments are trying to bypass control from the federal government and literally do their own thing. Not only that, but the Second Wave of the American militia movement has sparked a rise and increase in membership in recent years. The militias of America are many independent groups of people who take up arms and retreat to a secret location to practice and train in warfare tactics. They are ready to fight the national government when the time erupts. I'm afraid they will be thrown down violently, though. The next Civil War is coming to the United States? Thoughts? Any other material? | |
| | Why all the lies about NY 23rd not having a Democrat since the Civil War? | | I'm sure everyone here has heard this lie over and over again. The NY 23rd district has not been represented by a Democrat since the civil war. It's been over 150 YEARS since a democrat has represented them. This is a landmark victory. Blah blah blah. It's been said so many times by so many people on EVERY network including Fox News. Yet all it takes is the tiniest bit of investigating to learn that it's a complete and utter lie.So, how long has it REALLY been since the NY 23rd was represented by a Democrat?16 years. Yes, the last Democrat to represent the NY 23rd was Michael R. McNulty from 1989 to 1993. Before that it was represented by Democrat Samuel S. Stratton from 1983-1989. Before that the NY 23rd was represented by Democrat Peter A. Peyser from 1979-1983.So in summation, the NY 23rd was represented by Democrats for 14 years, Republicans for 16 years, and is now represented by a Democrat once again. Contrast that with the fact that we have at least 6 congressman, right now, who have been in office uninterrupted for over 50 years. Feel free to search the Congressional Biographical Directory to verify my claims.... | |
| | Medievalism, SCA, Renn, Civil War, English Civil War: What Do you Do? | | I find that as I grow older, I don't attend as many feats, demos, and celebrations like coronations as I used to. Once in a blue moon I'll get wind of one of my old friends who might be having a special occasion, and then I am rushed to create a costume and show up!I sort of miss Medievalism, ECW and even the SCA. I've been involved with all of them. If I was told to pick, I don't know if I'd be able to. Perhaps the SCA was more fun due to the freedom of their rules, but I liked the ECW for the friendliness of their members. So what do you do? Are you SCA? Renn? CivWar?
Are you as active as you used to be?
Is there a group that you'd like to try but haven't?

| | | | First Democrat Since Civil War Wins New York 23rd!!! | | So much for the power of Sarah Palin and the rest of the far right tea party crowd! They managed to push the GOP nominee out of the race and they thought they had it made then with their Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman, who it just so happened doesn't even LIVE within the district and was found in an interview to be NOT at all knowledgeable about it. Some of the right-wing pundits are spinning the results of tonights' races as horrible news for President Obama and the Democrats and great news for the conservative wing of the GOP but I have to respectfully disagree. The truth is, NO candidate who ran as an ultra-conservative won tonight. Bob McDonnell, now Virginia's governor-elect, may have his sexist and homophobic thesis in his past but he ran as a moderate and didn't go negative, unlike his opponent. The winner in the New Jersey Governor's race is also a moderate and, from what I've heard, ran a clean and positive campaign was well. The Democrats didn't have good candidates for the two gubernatorial races they lost, simple as that! Corzine wasn't very popular, my own very liberal brother isn't too crazy about him, and Virginia's Creigh Deeds was just a bad... | |
| | Civil War has broken out in the Republican Party,~ Sarah Palin~ Tim Pawlenty | | Have you been following the candidates in the 23rd Congressional District of New York,do you have a early prediction of the out come on Nov 3,2009?(Sarah Palin & Tim Pawlenty shaking it up)(Oct. 26, 2009) —First Sara Palin broke ranks and endorsed the candidate who was not the Republican; now Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota has followed her lead. It’s increasingly evident that a civil war has broken out in the Republican Party, and the Republican conservatives are leading the fight.The battle ground on which each side is testing its weapons is the NY special election in the 23rd Congressional District (Syracuse) on Nov. 3, next Tuesday, which will choose a replacement for Congressman McHugh.The commanders on the ground are Republican Dede Scozzafava (Sicilian for “bean-husk”) and Conservative Party candidate Dough Hoffman (German for “house-butler”). Democrat Bill Owens is running against both. Hoffman is currently in the lead in the polls.Dough Hoffman was dismissed as a long shot, until just recently, when a new poll put him in first place. Erick Erikson of Redstate has been leading a grassroot-conservative effort of Republicans in support of... | |
| | Our 6th grader doesn't even know what the Civil War was!!!! | | With so much importance placed on these standardized tests that is all the teachers and schools are focusing on teaching now days. How is this preparing the students for their future or even college?? Has anyone else noticed that their children are not learning what they should in school anymore? Any suggestions? | |
| | Do you like reading Civil War Novels? | | The War of Northern Aggression, as die hard Rebels call it, has provided the sweeping backdrop for the following novels, which run the literary gamut from passionate romance to graphically authentic recreations of the battles that tore the country apart. Here are some suggestions for some great Civil War novels.1. Andersonville by Mackinlay Kantor. Their are real and fictional characters intermingled in this absorbing, Pulitzer Prize winning novel, set in the notorious Confederate prisoner of war camp in southwest Georgia. A longtime Civil War buff, Kantor drew extensively upon prisoner’s memoirs to depict the inhumane conditions at the prison, overseen by the ineffectual Confederate John Walker.2. Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. For his first novel, North Carolina native Frazier looked to the wartime experiences of his great-great-uncle, a Confederate soldier, for inspiration. The amazing result is a gripping narrative that transposes Homer’s The Odyssey to the Blue Ridge Mountains, which the hero Inman must cross to reunite with the beautiful Ada. A critical and commercial
blockbuster, Cold Mountain won the rookie author the 1997 National Book Award.3. The March... | |
