Digby's Wrong About This

America would have been so much better off without the Confederacy; Lincoln fucked up bad fighting to keep those cracker motherfuckers in the Union.  The USA would have thrived without those rump states, and, no, Delaware and Maryland are not part of the Confederacy.  The good guys suffered and died by the thousands to stop those fuckers from leaving the country; Lincoln was surely history's greatest monster.  Without those inbred redneck cocksuckers, America is smarter, richer, better looking, smells waayyy better, and is greater by every conceivable measure.  What would have happened to that poor, primitive country the CSA?  I don't know, but I have a feeling it would have been one of the most entertaining periods of world history.  I do know that the USA could have exploited the Confederacy's weaknesses to great advantage for centuries, treating them with the contempt they deserved and making them suffer worse than any brutalized colonial territory, should that have seemed like good good fun.  Or perhaps the USA would have done something more noble and facilitated the slaughter of every white Confederate citizens by the slave population but probably not.  Regardless, image America without Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee pulling us down like rocks around the neck of a drowning man.  That's an America I would be proud of.  That would be a truly exceptional America.  That would be the dream of freedom and justice made real.  Digby's wrong as hell; this one nation of ours is being turned into a shithole by the fucking worthless fuckstains in the South and has been since the beginning.
