Most especially because their real life examples:

Quite a few of the United States' Founding Fathers were from Virginia. Their genius embraced such diverse disciplines as clockmaking, gunsmithing, architecture, legal drafting, theology and wine appreciation... and that was just Thomas Jefferson. No wonder that when John F. Kennedy hosted a gathering of Nobel Prize winners, he said, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Robert E. Lee was a professor at West Point before the American Civil War and went on to become President of what is now Washington and Lee College after.

Stonewall Jackson was a physics instructor at Virginia Military Institute prior to the war.

I'm taking these write-ups as proof that the rest of the world acknowledges how wonderful my home state is.

My runner up favorite trope page is their take on Eisenhower. Best President, or best President?

It's a shame they were traitors.

Still mad it took you four years to win despite having more money, manpower, and materials?

General Lee was awesome and he gave Virginia the chance at dignity when the fighting stopped. Too bad Grant didn't do the same for the North.

I rather think it was more dignified not to go to war against the country you pledged your allegiance to because you were terrified that the practice of literally owning human beings might be outlawed in the future

I think, on the whole, that course of action was less dignified than being kinda corrupt and inefficient at Presidenting

Fucking dignity, Jesus Christ, dignified treason, dignified chattel slavery, Lord save me

Re: Favorite tropes

Accepting defeat with grace is more dignified than continuing to bitch about a war you won 150 years ago. After the war Lee got to work as the President of Washington University (which later changed its name to Washington and Lee University because he was just that amazing). He recruited Northerners to attend the school and was well liked and respected by both sides.

Grant, on the other hand, kept hittin' the sauce. Maybe if you guys hadn't been drinking so much you would have won sooner. Maybe then you wouldn't be such bitter jerks now!

Nobody bragging about the south gets to call anyone else bitter about the Civil War. Seriously, that's just embarrassing.

Re: Favorite tropes

[iceyred]

It's not bragging if I'm just stating a fact. And despite being on the winning side you sound really angry. That's hysterical.

Re: Favorite tropes

[(Anonymous)]

The bitter jerks who keep flying flags of treason, who keep lionizing racists, who keep lying about how the war totally had nothing to do with slavery

No, the South has totally moved on

Re: Favorite tropes

[iceyred]

"Waaaaah! Why do people know history and insist on talking about it! Waaaaaah! I'm angry and I'm going to call people I don't know racist and act like I never read a book! It's easier to be dumb and hateful than it is to educate myself about the historical figures in the war! Waaaaaah!"

Robert E. Lee: cooler and more gracious than anyone in the Union army.

Typical Tea Party ideology.

Please slit your throat(You and every other Repulican) and die for the sake of humanity.

Re: Favorite tropes

Hate to disappoint you, but I can't. Suicide is against my religion. :) Also, I'm not a member of the Tea Party (which is found all over the U.S., not just in the South).

But keep pretending that you have some moral high ground, or are superior in some way, while telling people to kill themselves. It's so precious of you.

Suicide is against your religion, but owning another human being is just hunky dory with the man upstairs.

And people say Wicca is ridiculous?
