I didn't really get to argue my points as well as I would have likes, but I think I made him look sufficiently stupid.

Hey look, I wrote a letter

Fuck a monkey, I hate Confederate apologists with everything my tired, broken ass old 26-year old being has left with which to hate. I've never sat down and made a definitive list of shit I hate in the proper order, but Confederate apologists have to be in the top five.
Now, not to say that I think a future professor of history needs help from a college dropout, but I do wish you'd given me a heads up on this one. I'd like to have helped.
The Confederate flag is not in any way a symbol of treason or rebellion.
Bullshits and hullabafuckloos. The Confederate flag, or the Confederate Navy Jack (proper name), was created as the battle flag of the 1st Cavalry of Northern Virginia, raised at the beginning of the U.S. Civil War and came to signify a rebellion against the Federal Government of the United States of America. Article III, Secion 3 of the U.S. Constitution defines Treason as "levying War against [the United States]," which the Confederacy did when firing upon Fort Sumter and dragging the country into a bloody war lasting four years. Ergo propter hoc or some such other Latin shit, the Confederate Navy Jack as well as any other article of memorabilia representing the Confederate States of America is a symbol of treason. Anyone who argues otherwise is a five-alarm fucktard who would be laughed and pointed at by the residents of the Dawn of Hope.
...not one of them owned slaves, and they weren't fighting for slavery, either...
This is the most ridiculous canard that Confederate apologists pull out of their ass every time they try to defend their retarded ancestors. True, not every Southerner owned slaves, but the U.S. Civil War was about slavery. There was nothing else on the table that warranted an attempt at secession. It became apparent that abolitionists in the North had the political clout necessary to force changes in the Constitution that would likely end the practice of owning human beings as if they were property and hickfuckbilly asses below the Mason-Dixon decided they were going to take their ball and go home.
Not only that, but there was a social order that a great deal of non-slave owning whites benefited from while slavery was still illegal. You could be poor, worthless white trash living in a shanty and farming dirt for rocks and worms to live off of, but you were still considered better than the farm equipment that had been imported from Africa.
The Confederacy and its soldiers, whether white, black, Hispanic, Native American, Jewish, Irish or Scottish, all deserve honor
The Confederacy and its soldiers deserve to rot in the graves in which they are a' molderin'. They were not patriots and, in the unlikely event they were fighting for some warped idea of what our Founding Fathers believed, they lost. Handily. Still, General Sherman didn't burn enough of the South. The South will not rise again and if it ever tries to, I assure you I will have the heads of at least 20 "Re(tard)bels" on stakes in my yard.
The Confederate Navy Jack is a useless waste of cloth which is not fit for the wiping of my ass. It signifies one thing and one thing only: a war started and fought over the right to own human beings as if they were property.
You know, some of that may be unfit for printing in a campus newspaper. Your shot at his inbred heritage was a good one, though.
(Also, I would beat Zell Miller into a coma if he challenged me to a duel.)

Please do this one day ... on SGM. It's an absolute must, g.
