I'll bet that kind of retort works well with the kids you hang out with.
Deep thought of the day: "I was adopted. I thank my birth mother every day for not aborting me (although I wouldn't doubt her decision if she did)."

AA, GBJ, Prof, whomever, may now regale us on how slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War and it was a fight over indigo tariffs and the Nullification Crisis of 1832. Poor southern apologist bastards
This is comic relief. Right?

Gotcha. I was about to regale you on how slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War and it was a fight over indigo tariffs and the Nullification Crisis of 1832.

I know Lincoln said African Americans can no longer be slaves and I commend him for fighting for that. But what about Muslims? Fair game?

Lincoln didnt say that before the war and during the war he only freed slaves that he he had no authority or power to free.

But to your question, yes, Muslims are fair game.

General Benjamin Butler took the first step towards forcing the issue of Emancipation very early in the War. He was commanding the Hampton Roads forts at the time. A few slaves managed to escape their owner and sought refuge at the Fort. The slave-owner actually went to the Fort and demanded his "property" back. Butler was an abolitionist and had no intentions of doing so, but he was also a lawyer and realized that there was technically no law empowering him to liberate another man's so-called "property". So he hit upon the idea of declaring the slaves contraband of war, effectively achieving the same result. The slave-owner was out of luck

I like the chamberpots they made in New Orleans with General "Spoons" Butler's image on the bottom.

Blowhard-Alum,

The difference between you and me is I present facts, and back them up with quotes from NYT, SI, and other reputable sources. I even include photographs. By contrast, all you ever do, and have ever done, is revert to your tired, worn out, "Prof you are a _____" mantra. (BTW, have you been checked for Tourrette''s?)

I figured a guy who "could have gone to Harvard" would have learned by now that arguing with 95% personal invective, and 5% special pleading inanities like "...with scholarship reductions," is a poor substitute for logic, reason, sources, quotes from authoritative sources, and photographs.

Have you considered night classes at Jr. College? That might help your arguing skills and characteristic intellectual laziness.

From

http://outkickthecoverage.com/alabamas- ... he-sec.php
In the past year Alabama fans have killed Auburn's trees and teabagged an LSU fan who was passed out sleeping in a Krystal.

That's quite a year.

Two rivals down, 11 to go in a new 14 team SEC.

If I'd told you to guess which fan base in America was going to be responsible for both of these acts, a public teabagging and tree murder, most of your first guesses would have been Alabama. Even Alabama fans would have guessed this. In fact, every single actual Alabama grad would have guessed this immediately.

Roll Tide Roll.

But the sheer unexpectedness and outright depravity of these crimes still managed to leave most of us startled. Simple assault from one Bama fan to another? We expect that. Hell, a murder surrounding a domestic dispute over drunken football watching? Expected again.

But tree murder and testicular assault?

Even Alfred Hitchcock, the man who made taking a shower impossible in the 1960's, is taken aback.

Having knocked off two of their yearly rivals already, Auburn and LSU, with crimes of moral turpitude, what will Alabama fans do to the 11 rivals remaining on the fan assault schedule in 2012?

Well, I've tried to get into the diabolical and twisted mind of an Alabama fan to predict what might ensue.

How did I do this?

I sniffed gasoline for an hour and then wrote "your gay" one hundred times in a row on an Auburn message board. Then I intentionally failed an online GED test.

Voila, I was a Bammer.

I don't like Clay Travis' posts or blog, but I much prefer his continued lambasting of Auburn and Cam Newton. He has possibly been the Tigers most outspoken critic.
