Marginally factual...  None of my ancestors who fought in the War of
Southern Independence were slave owner or supported the institution.

As for the Founding Fathers, they would applaud his rant.  First
Amendment...  But they founded a Republic, not a Federal Democracy.  So
what if he was a Blue, I wasn't a Red.  I'm LIBERTARIAN!  So are a lot
of my SOUTHERN friends.

He also needs to remember WHERE the first permanent colonies in the
hemisphere were founded.  That's right, Florida.  St. Augustine, July 5,
1565.  Plymouth wasn't founded until 1620.  Also, I had an ancestor
building Louisiana as a major colony in 1650 while his ancestor was
probably still pronging sheep in England.

Remember my State has only existed 36 years less than his.  It only took
that long because his ancestors were too afraid to cross the Appalachian
Mountains and had to rely on the Virginians to open the rest of the
country.

Our Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution with incredible humility.  Even Thomas Paine has a tone of
humility in his writings.

All I can say about the taxes is http://www.fairtax.org/.  If you don't
like it, tough, I do!

As for divorce rates, I think they can thank the CATHOLIC BISHOPS and
the Irish for that.  Just like New Orleans and St. Louise can thank the
French.  Remember, not all of the South is fundamentalist.  Some of us
are Roman Catholic.

As for our convention, I'm not sure where the LIBERTARIAN party is
holding the 2008 convention, but I know 2004 wasn't in New York, we were
in Atlanta, Georgia.  That was the Republicans.
