What is it with you two, anyways?
Are you incapable of separating anything away from the Civil War? Is it really that difficult? It should be utterly simple to say “the Civil War and all of that” (pointing in one direction) that’s over there.
“The Revolution and the Founders” (pointing in the opposite direction) that’s over here.
How come you aren’t capable of doing this?
The reason I connect General Light-Horse Harry Lee with his son General Robert E. Lee is because I don't live in a vacuum.
It is like the thing you don't see, until you see it, and once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.
You start to notice that so much derives from it. The Civil War is like that.
Now I know you want to blame it on the lying Judges, and they deserve their fair share of the blame, but there is plenty of blame for the people who wrote those amendments so badly, and for the illegal manner in which those amendments were "ratified."
And we are still living with the consequences of all that.
So this "Deep State" that Trump is fighting now? I started looking at the origins of this thing years ago, before I ever started getting involved in the Civil War stuff. I recognized the Deep State as a problem, and I explored how the people who are in it, came to be in it.
I started noticing a pattern of "Ivy League" education, and generally coming from the "elite" of the Northeast.
Eventually, that thread came to merge with what I was learning about the Civil War, and I now see them as the same thread, it's just that I didn't understand the origins of it until later.
