Southern Discomfort
Union soldier upon capture of an unidentified Confederate soldier: "I don't understand you. You are barely clothed, you have no food, no money. You came from a farm in Virginia. You never owned a slave in your life. Why are you fighting?"
Reply: "Because you're down here."
And THAT, friends and neighbors, about sums up the whole mess.

American soldier upon capture of an unidentified Iraqi Insurgent: "I don't understand you. You are barely clothed, you have no food, no money. You came from a desert in the Sunni Triangle. You never owned anything in your life. Why are you fighting?"
Reply: "Because you're over here."
just an observation

With one caveat. Some try to pawn off the misdeeds of the Lincoln despotism as a crusade against slavery. It clearly wasn't. I haven't seen anyone try and pawn off Iraq as a crusade against Iraqis owning anything.
Just another observation. We now return you to your regularly scheduled quotation thread, already in progress...

A rattlesnake, if cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is - a biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.

Southern Discomfort
From a speech delivered to the US House of Representatives by former Tennessee Representative Edward Ward Carmack. Date unknown.
"The South is a land that has known sorrows; it is a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories.
To that land every drop of my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart, is consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I was nurtured at her breast; and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender and encircling arms."
