You will never hear me call all Americans any such things or America. That does not mean I feel the same about those who attacked the greatest nation on the face of the earth in order to perpetrate a tyrannical regime opposed to everything America was said to stand for.
Those who put an end to such tyranny are to be praised as highly as men can be praised. They were the spiritual descendents of the great men who founded this nation. Men to whom the ideas of secession, disunion, separation were abominations. Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and William T. Sherman made sure that great nation was sustained and its power and prosperity are the fruits of their labor.
"William T. Sherman"
A murderous, mentally unstable thug, who should have followed his wife's wishes and remained in a sanitorium.
Despite many allegations, by many different people: I do not want to starve children, rape the rain-forest, deplete the ozone, pollute the planet, oppress minorities, build glass ceilings, burn churches, lynch blacks, exploit third-world countries, or keep women barefoot & pregnant.
I am, also, not the son of Traitors.
As an American white male conservative, I am constantly reminded how evil I, my neighbors, and my country are....constantly. Your noble contribution to that chorus is recognized, and regretted in that appropriate context.
