Never once did he whine.

The vast majority of the southron contingent around here could take a lesson from General Lee.

What I don't understand is why you hold our forefathers in such esteem, but hold Lee in such contempt. Perhaps he committed the one sin America cannot abide. He lost.

I don't hold Lee in any contempt at all. But I don't raise him high on the pedestal, either. He fought for what he believed in. I happen to believe that his cause was wrong, and his loyalty to state over county misplaced.

They aren't whining. They are disagreeing with you. Big differnce.

No, there is no contempt for the men in gray in any of your writings. No. LOL!
