    Well then I guess it is time for Civil War: Part Deux. And maybe this time, we let Sherman continue his march. Reconstruction was a mistake, and the US is now paying dearly for it some 150+ years after the fact. If we had stamped out the racists then, they wouldn’t be a stupidly large constituency of the redhats now.
