My apology was for the case of me being wrong - I have yet to see proof of your original assertation. Regarding the nation of "fleshmongers and barbarians", the yankee's can apologize for whatever illegal actions they undertook.
Then there's still hope for The 'Toon's legacy.
Well, there are limits to how far any principle can be stretched.
I know that I only vote for republicans, try to convince many of the liberals I work with the error of Democrat thinking.
The constitution is not a living, breathing document, it is rock solid and always the same. And I am thankful for the wisdom of the founding fathers.
The problem as I see it is a lack of true "statesman" types in gubmint. No morals, no ethical grounding, in it for the money types everywhere.
Let's see if repubs. all around will make a difference or not.
First ran into 4CJ researching Gen> Cleburne of the War of Northern Massacre.
this started with the real Rawhide Chisholm Trail as it's right by us and my immediate family and ancestors are literally buried on the old Chisholm Trail.
From where i sit right now i can see the highway, and upon that highway we can go to: Jesse James' grave--the saloon where John Wilkes Booth tended bar, which is now a bakery and has an anonymous mural of Booth and James.
Booth was mummified and traveled the side shows until 1972 when he vanished. Rumor has it that both Booth AND Billy the Kid attended Jesse James' 90th birthday party.
Keep traveling that highway and before getting to Billy the Kid's grave, will pass Davy Crockett's widow's grave and the Creation Evidence Museum where they allegedly have the actual human foot tracks inside the dinosaur track.
I was just trying to find out something about a CSA general...! Somehow tied into the General was the Frank and Jesse James trial [???] where a member of the James gang testified something to the effect he was laying the very train track that is between myself and that highway. I believe, in 1951, that gang member concurred with the formal federal marshal that chased Jesse James as an outlaw, that the deathbed confession of J. Frank Dalton that he was the Jesse James was true.
Too much time on my hands...
