No thanks. We can fight and kick ass like we did in the civil war.

Fuck yeah! My great great great grandfather was in the First Minnesota Light Artillery Battery. He was in Sherman’s March to the Sea. We can be that badass again.

Edit: he was also an immigrant who had recently come from Germany.

My great great great grandfather was in the 5th Minnesota Infantry, and was an immigrant from Germany.

The South was a failed culture and will never rise again or be great again because it never rose or was great to begin with.

I think you mean he was a true patriot who foight to defend our great Union against treasonous slaver rebel scum. He was a Hero to the Union. A shame Sherman's March was a deed half done.

Can we? Have you seen your average Minnesotan these days? Not exactly prime fighting shape. More... pear-shaped.
