RRR,

Look at it this way. You have conservatives and neo conservatives. The two may both claim to be republican but they are NOT the same. The neo-cons are nothing but "republican socialist lite".

Now, within the SCV and numerous other Southron organizations you have Confederates and neo-Cons. To the neo-cons it's all about being in some warm and fuzzy social club and honoring their ancestors. But, these same neocons will then apologize for their ancestors "transgressions" against the union...saying that's all in the past. These neo-cons will pay homage to the Lost Cause (Southron independence) then pledge allegiance to the yankee rag..one nation indivisible and all that crap. The Confederate on the other hand will not apologize and in fact will tell you that there is no such thing as the "Lost" Cause. He still hates the yankee government in Washington just as much if not more so than his ancestors did. And, he would be more than willing to "do it again" at the drop of a hat.
