“..One can respect a man for his strengths while not admiring him for every single aspect of his history...”
True enough.
If the People of the great state of Tennessee WANT a day honoring Forrest, that’s their Right to do so and have it. It was a law, legally and lawfully passed and signed.
Gee... we’re back to “State’s Rights” here, aren’t we?
And since the Dems are ALL about “State’s Rights” when it comes to gun control (See “NJ, People’s Socialist State of,”)... they should have NO complaint here!
And one more - just ask the Left about Stalin and Mao... they LOVE those two murdering butchers; amazing how they’re able to ignore the deaths of millions of people, ain’t it?
They’re hypocritical idiots to complain about anything Confederate. It’s just something to use to inflame a segment of the population and keep them under control.
As for Ted Cruz... there’s real enemies to fight here now, Ted. Not someone who has been dead for a long, long time. They’re right across the aisle from you...
I wonder too if Cruz has even heard of Nathan Bedford Forrest, not a household name in TX.
