Your brief profile indicates you served our country, YOU are an American Patriot.
In light of the current political landscape, I often lament for what our country would look like if the yankees had lost the war.
Robert E. Lee is indeed a hero and a patriot to the South. Perhaps not to the North, but certainly to the South.
Comparing the likes of Pelosi, McCain, Graham, Ried, Obozo, Clinton, Jimmy Carter to General Lee would be an absolute insult to the very notion of courage, integrity, honor, chivalry, patriotism, loyalty.
The whole notion that the war of Northern aggression was about slavery is in of itself sophomoric and a shallow understanding of the war.
Because of the outcome of the war, we live under a mammoth federal social state where liberty, freedom and a government of the people...are no more.
