That virus is even infecting Limbaugh this morning.

For an Auburn fan, you are one good dude. :)

(Note: I grew up in Alabama back in the Bear Bryant days and my dad’s military career got me up to Ohio). God I miss Bama.

Yes. Have heard a “friend” talk disparagingly about George Washington and the Founders.

This is world Marxism at work. For THEIR profit and our destruction. Simply put. Someone needs to post the CPUSA “game plan” 20 plus point plan to destroy the US.

And, this is the same as the demo party platform.

Extremely well put, and quite accurate. Their names need to be shared throughout FR.

Rockefeller repubs= John D. (the murderer and destroyer of privately owned oil wells— he murdered the owners). To this “class” all of us are .... “them”. And they are Progressives, who use our own govt. against us and FOR them.

Witness the creation of the federal mining health agency— created to cost shift black lung and other costs onto the american taxpayer and away from .... the Rockefellers. This is the SAME thing that obamaumao-SCOTUScare is to achieve at the behest of the corporate class. So... our Congress licks up the spittle of the Rockefellers et al, just as before. And on TPP and TPA and on and on. The globalist cabal.

The man who was the first choice to lead the Union Army. Now he’s a dirty, rotten scoundrel.

The Left would have made Hitler their hero today. As it was, they liked Mao and Stalin.

"The Left would have made Hitler their hero today."

Obama, without admitting as much, (it would have offended some of his base), modeled much of his campaign tactics in 2008, after Hitler's. (See Leftwing Chickens Coming Home.)

It is the failure of the main stream media to actually analyze phenomena or the approach of candidates, which made his success possible. But the similarities are not mere coincidence.

A documented story is of Custer just before Appomattox C.H. negotiations. He rode up (btw Custer had blue....velvet... custom made uniforms with real gold thread epaulets— quite a dandy so to speak) to General Longstreet and demanded the surrender of the Army of N. Virginia. Longstreet told him to get lost or else be cut down where he stood.

Custer had it coming, really. Just another mis-appointed brat with a big mouth and arrogance that got him, and most of his men killed.

"Was Lee even considered to be evil by blacks EVER?"

The present contrived hatred against the old South, did not arise among the Southern Negroes. Read (and hear) the testimony of Booker T. Washington, the great Negro educator, who emerged as the major spokesman for the Black Southerners in 1895 on race relations: Booker T. Washington Address.

The virulent hatred now stirred up in America is primarily the achievement of White Leftists. They have been working to this end for over a century now, as a way to destabalize America. It is ugly and likely to get uglier, unless people wake up to the tactics and process: (See Creating Hate In America Today.)

Ignorance? Read about him, like you did Rommel. There is much there to this phenomenal leader and human being. Clearly evident that Lee was arrived at by Davis quite late— too late really. And Lee had courtesy toward Davis but not his leadership decisions.

Rommel was implicated in the plot on Hitler, hence his “suicide”. Rommel was a superior trained fighting soldier. And Hitler... a lunatic wannabe artist.

Sorry, no. Custer was an intrepid fighter - you don’t get all his promotions without doing something right. And he took some of the best photos of the war and the Indian wars that followed - to see the giant photos of him at the LBH is to be in the presence of SOMEBODY.

BTW, I love both sides of the war. Fine Americans, all.

I believe there’s a statue of Giovanni in Brooklyn. Yes, I know this message. Hilarious portrayal of Martin in Berger’s novel “Little Big Man.”

Great post. Thank you. And quite true. Malice toward none. Vengeance rightfully to those who deserve it.

One of my favorites - particularly his first great hit, Captain Blood. Sea Hawk is great, too.

I have read about Lee, he was a brilliant soldier. His battlefield tactics are still studied to this day. I have nothing but respect for him. He was a scholar, a gentleman, and a leader.

My dad fought in the pacific during WW2, and he hated the ‘Japs’, but he respected Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. Yamamoto did not want war with the US, but he was loyal to his Emperor. Lee and Yamamoto were both in wars that neither one wanted.

Thank you.

I’m just grateful for being taught the way I was.

I can remember the one time I used an unacceptable word regarding blacks.

I had heard it while away from home, and used it when the men were talking about a black family that lived nearby.

The silence was deafening.
No spanking ensued, but the tone of voice used by my elders left no doubt I was in deep.

My great uncle told me the story of General Lee attending St. Pauls church in Richmond, Va just after the war.

When the pastor called the congregation to come forward, a black man, a former slave, stepped forward.
None of the white people knew how to react.
General Lee stepped up, knelt beside the former slave and put his arm across the mans shoulder as they received the blessing together.

My great uncle said “if that man was good enough for the General, don’t you think he was good enough for you and me”?

Needless to say, from then on I censored my tongue and mind.

It was the true beginning of my education and has been with me all my life.

It came when he was discussing whether or not there had been compromise among the Founders, in response to something Christie said today. Rush’s comment was somewhat indirect, and a case of arguing the premise. The premise being that the evil slaveholders of the South were the reason that there had been some compromise among the Founders, who otherwise were noble and pure. But this was only necessary because those southern slaveholders were all Democrats. The fact that there were no Democrats in 1776 and that George Washington was a southern slaveholder and if anything a Federalist didn’t intrude into this yarn.

“I know of no Virginian who took any pride in J W Booth.”

...because we can blame him on Maryland for one thing...
