Lee wasn’t drawn’’ into anything. He only had to remain loyal to the Union, to America. He made a choice, a bad one. Nobody was holding a gun to his head. Lee invaded the North in 1962? Wow. How did I miss that bit of history? ‘’Mean spirited’’? I should think the folks in Gettysburg today aren’t singing his praises. And how is condemning a Dixiecrat equate to being less of a Conservative? And’’ pulling together’’ to fight the current state of affairs in the nation? Sounds rather ironic in light of what Lincoln was trying to do.
As for the present: Your desire to stir old wounds, argue in a mean spirit questions on which many American Conservatives have a very different viewpoint, is hardly calculated to help us work together to oust Obama. Your anti-Southern style of rant went out of style by the Spanish American War; I have no idea why you feel a need to revive it 114 years later!
Frankly, your opinions smack more of the likes of Thad Stevens, who would likely have been in Obama's cabinet, if he were not dead--and more likely in Hell.
