“He also seems to have written 16,381 posts—more than 3½ per day—on the University of Alabama fan message board TideFans.com....
...”Heaven forbid we let the facts get in the way of your righteous indignation, but Forrest, when he decommissioned his men, told them to make peace with the men they had fought and live as good citizens of the United States. It was only after the perceived depredations of the Union army during reconstruction that Forrest joined (it is highly unlikely that he founded or acted as the Grand Wizard) the first KKK, which was entirely different than the KKK of the early 19th Century. When the Klan turned to racial violence, he distanced himself from the organization as he had long supported the reconciliation of the races. In fact, he often spoke to black organizations.”
As best I can tell, the blog post was factual. Forrest DID distance himself from the KKK and DID speak to black groups. But this is turned into “defending the first KKK”?
ONLY if you lie about the post.
As for Mateer:
” Now, I submit to you, a parent of three children who are now young adults, a first grader really knows what their sexual identity? I mean it just really shows you how Satan’s plan is working and the destruction that’s going on.”

Works for me! This transgender stuff is a bunch of lies told by the Father of Lies. Want to know what sex you are? Check the plumbing. And allowing homosexual marriage WILL open the door, and we WILL see people pressing for the unimaginable. I saw a news report about a woman who was denied the right to marry...a train station!
And by making this post on FreeRepublic, I am of course no longer open to becoming a judge. Not that I have any background for it anyways.
Freeper Nathan Bedford Forrest has discussed his interesting namesake and that same history.
