well, Mr Minister of DAMNyankee Propaganda, NOBODY who has a BRAIN believes your deceptions, misdirections, "word twisting", as we ALL know what your AGENDA is.

TRUTH is NOT on that agenda!

SORRY, but i have NO idea!

i HAVE seen the "plate".

perhaps the "lady pastor" (sorry, but i cannot remember her name-it's been too long.)could tell you. she seems REALLY knowledgeable about the history of CC.

The pastor (rector) of Christ Church is a man, Pierce Klemmt. I just think that's a really interesting question - certainly Lee was raised in that church, so his confirmation at such a late point in his life has always made me wonder.

I'll take that as being as close as your ego will let you come to an apology. I accept.

the lady i last talked to is ONE of the pastors of CC. (i have met Pierce Klement. obviously it was NOT him!!! LOL!)

the lady i'm talking about is from Africa. i wish i remembered her name, but i don't.

she was VERY nice to "duckie" & talked to her for quite some time, while i did "SCV things". ("duckie" was ON CRUTCHES at the time, due to some emergency surgery on her leg, from an accident.)

as always i enjoyed our visit to you BEAUTIFUL church!!!

fyi, ROBBERY, RAPE, ASSAULTS,TORTURE, PLUNDERING CHURCHES/SYNAGOGUES, BURGLARY, TORTURE & COLDBLOODED MURDER was UNdoubtedly a MAJOR portion of the DAMNyankee assault on the CSA.

it was "part & parcel" of the overall union WAR PLAN.

northern/REVISIONIST/Marxist apologists for the hecatomb visited on the southern CIVILIANS,both SLAVE & FREE, have tried DESPERATELY to call the depredations "actions of renegades".

NOTHING could be further from the TRUTH.

WAR CRIMES & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY were EXPECTED (and in some cases actually ENCOURAGED!) by the yankee high command, as it was a way "TO PUNISH the johnny rebs" for secession.

we note that you didn't state whether you approved of the DAMNyankees that SLAUGHTERED 92 members (mostly women & children) of my family, just because they were NOT "white persons".

were the actions of the "FILTH IN BLUE" acceptable to YOU, as a portion of the hecatomb visited upon the innocent/UNarmed civilians of dixie & upon our prisoners of war in the hands of the DAMNyankees at HELLholes like Elmira,Camp Douglas & Point Lookout DEATH CAMPS???

a simple YES/NO will suffice.

I don't know about the statues on Monument Avenue, but I do know that they don't intend to "banish" the Confederate White House or Museum of the Confederacy. They've been considering relocating them because the area is so overgrown by the university now, but I doubt it will happen. There's no "banishment" involved.

all i KNOW about that subject is that ONE of the Richmond city council members SAID that the statues,the WH & museum was being CONSIDERED for "banishment from the city limits" by the council.

there is NO parking (or ALMOST none anyway) within easy walking distance of the WH/museum.

fyi,the hospital parking deck seems always to be FULL, whenever i went there the last few months.

fwiw, i'm NOT Jeb Stuart III, so i can't park on the FRONT WALK! (that's HIS Mercedes/Benz!=chuckle!)

Stand let's face it you can't get away from Old Abe. He is in your pocket - in change. He is in your wallet - cash. You see his name on cars driving by - everyday. Little children play with Lincoln Logs. I bet you did.

They are waiting to welcome you in Lincoln, New Hampshire.

Maybe you can visit or move to Lincoln, Alabama, Lincoln, Arkansas, Lincoln, California, Lincoln, Delaware, Lincoln, Illinois, Lincoln, Iowa, Lincoln, Maine, Lincoln, Massachusetts, Lincoln, Michigan, Lincoln, Missouri, Lincoln, Montana, Lincoln, Nebraska, Lincoln, New Hampshire, Lincoln, New York, Lincoln, North Dakota, Lincoln, Pennsylvania, Lincoln, Rhode Island, Lincoln, Vermont, Lincoln, Virginia, Lincoln, Wisconsin, or to a ride through Lincoln Center, Kansas, Lincoln City, Indiana, Lincoln Heights, Ohio, Walk around Lincoln Park, or Lincoln Square, Chicago, Lincoln Township, Michigan, Lincoln Township, Minnesota, Lincoln Township, Pennsylvania, Lincoln Village, Ohio, or the Lincoln Counties in 23 U.S. states, Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, Lincolnwood, Illinois.

Go up to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. like a real American.

Drive through Lincoln Tunnel - during rush hour.

The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on the Upper West Side is really looking forward to seeing you.

Maybe some time well spent in the Lincoln Cathedral will show you the light.

In England pay a visit to Lincoln College in of all places Lincolnshire! Or, in Oxford you will find Lincoln College plus drive to see the University of Lincoln.

Maybe you would enjoy Lincoln University in New Zealand, maybe?

Do you like mountain climbing, well guess what there is Mount Lincoln in Colorado and Mount Lincoln in Western Massachusetts, best in the Fall of course, or out in the middle of nowhere there is Mount Lincoln Nevada.

It's real cold right now on top of old Mount Lincoln, New Hampshire. And of course Mount Lincoln Washington state. Tired from honouring Old Abe with all that climbing?

You may like Lincoln, New Brunswick or Lincoln, Ontario.

How about way down in Lincoln, Buenos Aires, Argentina?

Or the other way 'down under' in sunny Port Lincoln in South Australia.

There are many more places of interest with Honest Abe's name. That listing should keep you busy, telling everyone you meet in your 'Lincoln related travels' your incredible gratitude for the 16th President. Tell them how defeated & those..., you know.., whatever they are, the one's you keep mumbling about.. that lost the Civil War.

fwiw, i have a FRiend of mine who stamps over the TYRANT's face on every 5.oo bill, that comes through his LARGE store: WAR CRIMINAL!

fyi, i'm considering having a stamp made, too.

every time a 5.oo bill passes from one person to another, they get to see WAR CRIMINAL, 1st.

it's what the TYRANT deserves.

btw, some of us southrons are taking suggestions about what should be done with the memorial to thew TYRANT on the banks of the Potomac. (my suggestion: take it down & turn it into an artificial reef on the Chesapeake Bay, so that "DIShonest abe, the TYRANT" can "sleep with the fishes".)

Eventually that deranged simpleton will get caught for deliberately destroying U.S. Government currency. What a unstable infantile moron.

"fyi, i'm considering having a stamp made, too."

Well, you can have your little stamp made up, but unless you desire to join that hate consumed shlump when he gets bagged, you better not even think about it...

"btw, some of us southrons" have nothing better to do then plot to destroy one of America's most favourite presidential tourist memorials - that's something Islamic crazed dishrag terrorists would hatch. It's not bad enough a so called 'southron' (arch-traitor and cold blooded killer) murdered the 16th American President in 1865, but now, in 2007, a very puny collection of frivolous malcontents conspire insane ways to land themselves in the clink. Just brilliant!

Grow up!
