To: Emperor Palpatine

I would not waste my time trying to convince you of anything. The fact that Lee was Lincoln’s first choice and Grant was Lincoln third choice says it all.

Surely Lee went into the war with a good reputation as a soldier, therefore of course Lincoln wanted him. He had th highest pedigree and credentials. During the war, he did the only thing he could do ... take mammoth risks.

Grant came into the war with very little acclaim, but he proved over and over that he was a great general, and in fact the only general in the north who really knew how to win the war.

I don’t think you can compare the two.

that poster is a retread....probably been here for many incarnations

I don’t think it’s OPH or Chancellor Palpatine.

Star Wars monikers seem popular here with some moderate black republicans who troll any race tinged thread.

plenty of fight to go around.....I ain’t backing down for them...they are too spoiled by folks doing just that

(no ....not all black freepers play this game but more than a handful do...one I actually like...reminds me of preschool tv..lol)
