better to ignore the handful of trolls.

I’m just surprised it took them so ling to get to this thread and to get their snide remarks in.

If Grant can give respect, If other Generals in the federal army can give respect and if many other soldiers can give respect to Lee back in that day and it was they who did the fighting then one would think some troll on a computer years later could understand about Lee and all the respect he got from the north.

Key point-- it is many years later of course and the trolls are informed by generations of entrenched political lies, and they then turn around and accuse others of wanting to "go back". A key element in false progressivism is the twisting of the meaning of "progress" (no one wants to "go back to thaaaat" like returning to the Founders is somehow "backward") because of course all "progress" is good.

The concept/belief that the Constitution is outdated and is a "living" document subject to fiat change is part of this. Change that the Constitution provides for by the Amendment process which no progressive wants to follow. That is, they want to circumvent the Constitution- and with the RINOs in Congress they are doing it. Who are the patriots, now? Deo Vindice.

The problem was not with people like Lee, Cleburne and the brave reb soldiers. Th big problem was with the foolish and greedy political class who tried to destroy the work of Washington and the other founders in order to set up an empire based on a cornerstone of slavery.
