Imagine the nerve of wanting to remember the history of the Confederacy in the place that the capital of the Confederacy used to be, and that was practically burned to the ground as a direct result of the war. How DARE those Dresdeners or the people of Hiroshima or Nagasaki remember the Second World War and what happened there, too!!! After all, they were on the wrong side in the war, too!!! I've heard Allen speak live, and I've shaken his hand. He sounded much more like a Libertarian or a "Jeffersonian Democrat" than a Republican in the vein of Dubya. I'd vote for him again in a heartbeat.
We could go on and on bringing up political warts (must....not.....say....it....McKinney...oops!!!) but let's let it rest. Neither side can choose who belongs to the party (if Satan was real, was eligible to vote, and wanted to register as a Democrat or Republican, he could).
