Traitor? Treason? [Robert E. Lee]

Old Virginia Blog ^ | 5/10/10 | Richard Williams

"If Lee was a traitor (and I don't believe he was), he would be the only traitor for which a ship in the United States Navy was ever named. He would be the only traitor in Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol. He would be the only traitor whose image was used in a positive way to recruit military personnel to fight and win WWII. Quite an accomplishment for a "traitor", wouldn't you say. . ."

I never realized that Vladimir Putin was bound by the US constitution to let Georgia secede.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

Read Lincoln’s second inaugural speech, 2nd paragraph real closely. IMHO It’s actually an admission of war crimes.

Is it in the penumbra?

"Rebellion?" Prove it for us, sport -

You call yourselves rebels don't you...sport?

[Cheburashka]

Of course I did. And I as I said, only in your mind. This ends my discourse with you.

Their offer was directed at your throne palace, Washington D.C. You know, the place depriving it’s citizenry of their 2nd Amendment Rights.

Obviously 2).

Nailed you good and proper. You can't even write a coherent sentence. This ends my discourse with you.

Wow! Talk about dead wood (or dead something) and lookie what oozes out! It’s You Ain’t Galt. Feeling particularly frisky today gramps? Did the nurse put a little Geritol in your Maypo?

It’s awful nice of you to try to defend a damsel in distress, but really - she ain’t no damsel...and you ain’t no gent...

[rockrr]

You Ain’t Galt would really like to, but his nurse won’t let him out after 4:00PM...

[mac_truck]

Lol!

[Idabilly]

What the hell are you talkin' about you Marxist Pig!

You conveniently forget like the rest of your "Cyndi Lauper Wanna Be's" The States created the General Government! They are the delegating authority! They can destroy, and yes secede from your General Government. Your War answered Nothing. See you in hell Yankee!

[rockrr]

Careful va - we’ve already had one intervention today. Don’t blow a gasket.

[rockrr]

Oops...all you people look alike to me lol...

[Who is John Galt?]

Do you want me to quote others saying the same thing? There are plenty. How about James Madison? How about the Supreme Court? How about Justice Scalia?

Go for it, sport. With my personal, written invitation to do so.

Just because I disagree with what Lee did, and where he thought his highest loyalties lay, doesn't meant that I automatically have to believe that everything he said was wrong.

Oh, you betcha - claim he's an expert in one area (of your choice), and claim he's an idiot everywhere else. Welcome to FreeRepublic, Comrade Obama...

But I will say that if any modern military officer resigned his commission to join the side fighting against the army he'd recently served, no one would think twice about calling him a traitor.

Will you say the same about "any modern military officer" who resigns his commission to defend our Second Amendment rights, if the D@mocrats ever ban firearms ownership? Hmm?

You're a rabid weasel - nothing more, nothing less...

[Who is John Galt?]

You call yourselves rebels don't you...sport?

Sorry, sport, but I've never called myself a "rebel." In other words, you're a scum-sucking liar (but then, we all knew that already ;>)...

Nothing I like more than bringing the brain-dead 'Blue Avenger' zombies back to life! Any historical documentation in your post? Of course not. Any logical thought? Of course not.

Shamble on down the street, drooler. As I noted above, you would have to climb 40 feet to reach root level...

[Who is John Galt?]

You and I both know that there is no constitutional clause prohibiting secession. Nor is there one sanctioning it. Therefore it’s a constitutional question to be adjudicated by the courts...

Wrong - again:

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

(In other words, the Founders were quite literally telling you to kiss my @ss! ;>)

[Who is John Galt?]

WIJG: Any historical documentation in your post?

rr: No less than yours gramps.

WIJG: Any logical thought?

rr: That's funny coming from someone whose last logical thought was somewhere around 1983...

LOL!!! Thanks for proving my point, sport: "You would have to climb 40 feet to reach root level"...

As they say, "Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't rub even two living brain cells together post under the name 'rockrr' on FreeRepublic."
