    That's today.

    I was given today off and I'll be firing up the General Lee for a shine run. Rosco can never catch me and my cousin. We also love bows.

    Yeeeeee-hawww!

    That seems a bit much, honestly, they lost the war.

    Sir, them's fightin' words. Prepare to defend youah honah.

    "Confederate Heroes’ Day commemorates those who died fighting for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. An official state holiday in Texas, Confederate Heroes’ Day has fallen annually on January 19—the birthday of Robert E. Lee—since its approval on January 30, 1931."

    link, sir​

    Are you serious? MLK is a federal holiday.

    That is a ridiculous slap in the face to a great great man's legacy.

    Go Jefferson Davis! :eek:
    "Honestly"? And all the other times, you're not honest, eh?

    It doesn't seem a bit much, but yes, they did lose that war. So did all those Texans at the Alamo, sir, but I don't see you saying anything against that. :eek: ANNEX TEXAS!

    since you're going to engage in continued hypertechnical pettifoggery, i'll point out that hostilities at the Alamo represented a battle in what was a larger war that was won by the Texans.

    as for the subject of the thread...there are few things that chap my ass more than the continued reverence for the Confederacy. time to move on, boys.

    We're just biding our time...

    BTW, be careful searching for "The south will rise again" in Google images. There is a penis.
