Quote:

It seems there is a modern variant of the Copperhead that delights in opposing the current administration in all matters regardless of the situation, including situations where that require them to side with those who would destroy the Republic. I propose these people henceforth be called by their proper name “Copperheads.”




Quote:

The term was often applied indiscriminately to all Democrats who opposed the administration. It afforded an opportunity for impugning the loyalty of those who opposed Lincoln’s policies



Funny how history repeats itself, huh Larry? Question or criticize the Administration or the War, and instantly, you lack any credibility or patriotism or morals. Case in point, as soon as Murtha voiced his opposition to the War in Congress, his opposition was not met with a debate about facts, but rather an immediate attack on his Patriotism. Everything from being called an embarrassment to the Corps, to an subversive who, along with Michael Moore and the NY Times, was trying to help Al Queda defeat America.

Hey, I vehemently oppose Bush's "Guest Worker" program and refusal to put any MEANINGFUL security on the Borders and in the Ports, BOTH of which I see as a threat to our security (and one or the other of which I see as being shown to be a crucial factor in the success of any future 9/11 type attack on the US, should it come!), so if that makes me a Copperhead, I wear the title proudly!
