The catchphrase, although a Nord saying in general, is too often used with the Stormcloaks to be considered accidental on the developers part or simply overlooked, and I believe it was done to show bigotry. First, welcome back!

If you believe that catchphrase is more commonly used within Stormcloaks than anywhere else, then you are free to believe so. Myself I dont hear the Stormcloaks say it very often. Whenever I attack a fort with the Stormcloaks, I typically hear their faction specific dialogue over other dialogues, like "Talos smite you!", "For the sons of Skyrim!" or "A pox on the Empire!". They may rarely shout other lines, but, at least to me, these lines seems to take precedence over others. Same with the Imperial dialogue.

You are actually absolutely right. While I do support the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, I dont support the Civil War itself. Ironically, if Tullius and Ulfric had teamed up, their combined knowledge of warfare and as well the combination of the Imperial army and soldiers of the Stormcloaks, would have made for a superior force to be reckoned. Sadly both sides messed up all chances for that. It was indeed Ulfric who started the war to begin with, but it was ultimately the Empire who planted the seeds of rebellion, even if they wont ever acknowledge it and just blame Ulfric for everything. That is kind of why I cant side with the Empire. Had there been a third option I would have probably went with that. Also I think Ulfric does realize that the Thalmor are the real threat, but it is at the moment the Empire who is oppressing the people of Skyrim in the name of the Thalmor treaty. The Empire arent the bad guys, but they arent the good ones either.
