GOP Rep Sees Similarities Between HCR And 'Great War Of Yankee Aggression' (VIDEO)

"the great war of yankee aggression"....didn't the rebs fire the first shot in that war...at Ft Sumter?...general by the name of Beauregard?

I see the similarity too: Broun's side lost both times.

24 hours after Obama signs HCR, Broun's office will be doing constituent service, impatiently advocating for more and more benefits from this program for folks in his district. Just watch.

Oh, and by the way, anybody in Georgia knows that the War of Yankee Aggression started when Union Army shore batteries in Charleston began relentless shelling of Union Army emplacements on Ft. Sumter, in the harbor. Right?

Excellent. The rich racists can sense their own imminent defeat then. I love it.

Floor speeches are all about making a splash. In this case, he's the turd hitting the water...

And that's "turd", not "tard". Of course, he is also f*cking retarded (satire!).

This points to the people/energy/constituiences fighting healthcare for all.

The Southern Republicans who are still fighting "mandates" from the yankees up north.

The Southern Republicans (and their nothern allies)who look down as worthless the people who do not have the same access to the perks of society that they have.

It is not surprising that the population of uninsured in the South runs from 20 to 25% of the population.

Great War of North Aggression? Heh. Assholes like Broun lost that war, and they're going to lose this one, too. Here comes Appomattox, baby.

Obviously Dr. Nick Riviera wasn't the only one who went to Upstairs Hollywood Medical College.

before clicking on the link I said to myself, "Sure enough, who ever said this is from my home state of Georgia."

Sure enough

Hmmm. Where are the trolls to defend this guy? Yooo hooo!

It appears that the large majority of white southerners still haven't gotten over the indignity of not being able to buy and sell other human beings.

The great War of Yankee Aggression???....For a sitting US Congressman to to describe the treason of southern racists and cowards this way is sedition...He should be sanctioned.

health care reform will pass as POTUS Obama has set it out...screw the noisy malcontents and teabaggers

Time to remember FDR: We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

I'd like to know, exactly, how this was a War of Aggression. Lincoln said he'd allow slavery to go on and on forever in the South, and an amendment to the constitution was drafted just to guarantee it, as long as the South didn't secede, or attack the North. They still fired on Sumter, and took the field at Bull Run just a few miles outside of Washington. There was no clause in the Constitution giving a procedure for peaceful withdrawal from the Union.

Once you take arms against the constitution, you're in big trouble. Strange how Calhoun's and Stonewall Jackson's constitution is still alive, when it's lost every test, on the battlefield and in the legislature. Is this what conservatives mean when they talk about "smaller government?"

Why don't these pathetic bigots proudly say exactly what they mean? If your dumb enough to believe any of this shit in the first place, then you're definitely to stupid to get vague inferences. Speak your racist hatred clearly & plainly or you just might embolden a new branch of meanies, like say, the tea-baggers.
Example: Paul Broun is an ignorant lilly white ass cracker.

P.S. Pretty unfortunate name for whitey. Is he to hateful to spell it right or to dumb?

Free insurance card? I have an insurance card but it definitely was NOT free. Just for the sake of history, it was the South that started the Civil War with Sucession and then aggression. They were also the first to start firing at Soldiers at Fort Sumter in North Carolina.

Regardless of historical facts, in many schools in the South students are taught about the "War of Northern Aggression," not the "Civil War" or even the "War Between the States." It's important to remember that kids are impressionable, and if they are taught something over and over again many of them will come to believe it, even if it isn't true.

A friend of mine recently received a piece of mail with a U.S. postage stamp that pictured the confederate battle flag. It was part of the "state flags" postage stamp series, and guess what the state of Mississippi has on its flag? Image here: http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2009/pr09_068.htm

Regardless of what the state of Mississippi does, that flag just doesn't belong on a U.S. stamp; it would be a compelling reason to scrap the whole idea of a state flags stamp series. But in fact, it's not the first time -- there have been several other stamp series that include images of that flag, for example: http://georgiainfo.galileo.usg.edu/gaflagst.htm.

I mention this mainly to illustrate the degree to which Americans in general have accepted the Confederate version of events, and the degree to which we coddle right-wing white southerners in their delusions about what that flag actually stands for.
