i just toured pea ridge battlefield - apparently seminal to keeping the confederates from taking over the state of missouri - driving & walking over the miles in which it took place (which also happened to encompass a part of the trail of tears of 30 years prior to that).

by the end of reading all the details, i was in the mood to see a reenactment. not of the trail of tears :-/ but of pea ridge.

someone might get shot in the face!

Sic semper tyrannis?

My money's on Dick. It'll be the Battle of Franklin all over again.

Came for a "shot in the face" reference, wasn't let down.

I have a good story on one of these. My former roommate, who is black, was dating a white guy from somewhere down south. He wanted to take her home with him to meet his family, and asked her to go on this specific weekend, noting they all "reenacted the civil war" that weekend.

She looked horrified, I started cracking up, and then it finally hit him that just maybe a black girl from the Bronx would be out of place at a southern civil war reenactment.

She didn't go, but that was an awesome moment in life that I got to witness. The look on his face when it hit him was priceless.

He's going to get up there and tell them that they're doing it wrong. He was there after all

ozone: He's going to get up there and tell them that they're doing it wrong. He was there after all

Cheney is speaking, not McCain....

Not sure what could go wrong but I see a lot of ways it could go right.

Don't panic Liberals, the South won't win. Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's only a reinactment. It's only a reinactment..."

bigpeeler: Don't panic Liberals, the South won't win. Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's only a reinactment. It's only a reinactment..."

I give it a 2.4. It was forced, had no beat, and I couldn't dance to it.

Yea, that thought wasn't completely formed. That'll teach me to post before the coffee is all the way in the blood stream

lostgod: someone might get shot in the face!

Came here to say just that.

Though I think it'd be much funnier if Cheney stuck his face in front of a cannon about to go off.

bigpeeler: Don't panic Liberals, the South won't win. Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's only a reinactment. It's only a reinactment..."

And it's only bad spelling..it's only bad spelling, but don't let that stop you.

Vice President Cheney Will Speak At 145th Battle Of Chickamauga Anniversary

It's the anniversary of the 145th battle of Chickamauga?

In case you do rise again, remember your shoes and shirts this time.

dick cheney vs the combined union and confederate forces.
my money's on cheney

For the Confederasyah!

The dick Cheney who shot his friend in the face instead of a duck? Yeah, I'm pretty sure unless they send barns instead of troops, you're a retard.

I dunno.
Land-owners rights.
Economic policy.
Foreign relations.

I might side with the South on this one.

I hope he remembers to pack his good hood and robe.

/this years cross burning is BYOTorch

Get Cheney my Jedi Squirrels, Have no Mercy!

Everything will be fine... just as long no one decides to re-enact a civil war period attorney or duck hunter.

ozone: He's going to get up there and tell them that they're doing it wrong. He was there after all

Nah, the war would be over by the time Dick's five deferments ran out.

bigpeeler: Don't panic Liberals, the South won't win. Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's only a reinactment. It's only a reinactment..."

The south would have to be competent to be scary.

Civil War re-enacters hate black people.

i know, only minorly relevant

Hmm...last four out of five presidents came from "Southern" states.

Suck it, federals!!

PoopStain: I got to go to one of these in Fredericksburg, VA years ago and I thought it was going to be boring as hell. As it turns out, it's kind of like those medieval fairs but with civil war costumes.

There was tons of beer and some hot ladies in period dress. It was a good day.

Then it's not like renaissance fairs.

Yeah, that place is worse than the middle east.

.....and the next one won't, no matter who wins the election. No, Arizona isn't the "South." Nor is Illinois.

You might want to tell the pedantic genius who made that, that if you're going to make a fake Army recruiting poster, you might not want to use a farking Marine in the photo.

The women were all having their period? And, they wear special dresses for that?

NOT COOL MAN! NOT COOL!

Old South, secede again please.

America wants its language, average income and IQ standings back.

Tell that to Ebaumsworld. Its funny because its wrong. Freschel, sorry you did not get that.

Wow, someone in Cheney's family actually enlisted to fight for his country. Cheney, on the other hand, is a chickenshiat chickenhawk who was too busy getting DUIs to fight in Vietnam. The only things he's competent to shoot at are birds on caged hunts. And old men.

He's not fit to set foot on that battleground. He's not even a REMF.

Hey, bring Palin's husband, he's part of a secessionist party!

Cheney will be there trying to get a contract for KBR.

I think you mean "Obama is from Hawaii and McCain can't be president since he is from the Panama Canal Zone."

bigpeeler: Don't panic Liberals, the South won't win. Take a deep breath and repeat after me, "It's only a reinactment. It's only a reinactment..."

No, we won't panic. It's all been settled a couple centuries back -- we're all Yankees, now...

Just like only Yankees are refined and speak the proper "Kings" English. LOL For years I used to laugh at my green teeth dumbass redneck neighbor. Motors, tools, fishing, hunting, any stunt requiring someone to hold his beer. heheheh

I was talking to his wife one day and found out he was from Connecticut. As I laughed she informed me that there were more rednecks and lowlife dumbasses up North than all the South combined. Of course that was a coupe of decades or so ago. Most of the yankee dumbasses and rednecks have moved down South now!

Please go wrong. Please go horribly, epically wrong.

/you beat me to it...
//*snerk*

Let's see, thousands of Confederates with rifles and cannons... what could possibly go wrong?

Cheney delivers a well rousing speech on the sacrifices of our fathers and how they relate to the war on terror, and receives a warm welcome from the people of Tennessee? I mean, I'm sure somehow Olbermann can twist this.

So does the Confederacy. You can keep the Federal Debt, tho.

Vice President Dick Cheney will speak at a Civil War re-enactment in Tennessee.

Sarah Palin to speak at Civil War pre-enactment in Alaska.
