y'all better get your mind right, or the narrative police will come knocking.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Not sure if we can get an Aussie schooled up on "y'all" vs. "ya'll"... 
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

That works, but I was under the impression 'Y'alls' was plural (Southern), and 'all y'alls' was entire group inclusive (Southern).

Have y'all discussed the merits of the southern term/word "fixin'" yet???
I always was asked if something was broken because I was fixin' to do it.

"y'alls" is a possessive, most of the time...

Bred and Born in the South as was my Parents, and Grandparents, and Y'all was always plural. What confuses some is that a person might be talking to 1 other person and when say goodbye, tell them Y'all come and see us. He is talking to one person but meaning for that person and His family to come visit, thus plural. If only meaning for that person to come, He would say You come again, or some such. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

The thing that always got me is HOW FU(KING stupid Yankees are.
They are the LAZY bastards. Got off the boat and said, we ain't going anywhere and they let all the BRAVE men go west and south to claim more for YANKEES.
That's why when Yankees like Pugs and Moose, pound on their chests, it's never not funny.
I can't tell you how many go times I've seen conservative Yankees on the 'Fire and from RURAL areas proclaim how AR15's and hi capacity mags should be banned.
As usual Scott, it's nice to see someone so comfortable in a world where they don't need to think complex thoughts and can live in the attention span of twitter sound bites to shape their life. Bet I had more relatives fight and die for the CSA than you did. Also had quite a few own a fair number of slaves, at least according to the wills I have. They were proud folks who fought for something they believed in. Pride often leads people to making poor decisions. Having lived in the south and visited many relatives in Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Texas for the last 52 years you may find me down for a weekend visiting or a week of hunting but I can assure you you'll never have to deal with me living there again. I'll continue to make my move north and live in the mountains. Many people from New England migrated west prior to and after the American Civil War. IIRC, Utah was settled, to a significant extent, by a group of people who got their start in Sharon, VT. My ancestor, Grenville Dodge, who was born in Massachusetts, played a significant role in the construction of the first transcontinental railroad and, by extension, the opening of the American West.

And they have a seperate language there too! Every time I hear that particular mode of speech it is generally coming from a union official.

It started going wrong before Lincoln. Andrew Jackson's unconstitutional and immoral actions established a precedent of a POTUS defying the SCOTUS and acting as emperor. Lincoln simply tore up the Constitution in order to force states to remain in a Union that they wanted to leave; against the reserved right of secession and the Bill of Rights. It kept going further wrong once FDR fully embraces socialism, and LBJ sold out posterity for the sake of a political party. The Rs joined in, gleefully, when W rammed through the "Patriot Act" <spit> and created DHS. Then came Hussein, and if we're not REALLY damned careful, Hitlery.
I copied and pasted this on Facebook giving 4ager full credit, hope you don't mind
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

You are simply another northern transplant that moved south that doesn't know our history or respect our culture. You look down your nose at us while proclaiming your moral superiority and wonder why we all hate you. You mean this is the south? Every other person seems to be an Ohian. I was a Civil War reenactor. I might know a little about the circumstances leading up to the war. Then you know that Lincoln only declared that the slaves in the South (where he had no authority) were free. Slavery remained legal in the North for the duration of the war and General Grant owned slaves. General Lee freed the slaves his wife inherited before the War of Northern Aggression. Lincoln was a traitor for suspending the Constitution for the duration of war and attacking sovereign states who had voluntarily joined the Union. For all you self righteous Christian Yankees the Bible doesn't condemn owning slaves, it just refers to their slaves as servants.

I don't hear the Civil war mentioned much by southerners. Maybe except on here. I've never seen anything else occur but the topic broached by those from the South or sympathetic to the Southern version of events. And quite often, too. And it always plays out exactly the same: drone on and on with the same posters and same perspectives, until others of an opposing view get tired of it and begin chiming in. Then the butthurt starts and it drags out for far too long. As I live and breathe!
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
