Oh, my god. A Republican congressman just compared the United States "winning" in Iraq to the Confederacy winning the Civil War. He stood on the floor of the House and declared his support for the Confederacy. Another freedom loving Republican, eh? I didn't think anyone would be able to top the offensiveness of another congressman's earlier tortured analogy comparing the conflict in Iraq to a baseball game, but somebody did. Kudos. Let me try and raise the level of discourse a little: the Republicans are total dumbshits. Amen.
