Reference to Lee’s unhappy time as executor and overseer of his father in law’s estate.

Do you have a point in there somewhere? Can you tell me the answer to the riddle, "So ****ing what?"

Or are you just getting up a vigorous game of "Mark of Cain" again? -- which used to be imputed to other people, mind.

Or is it more serious, a zealous desire to break into other people's churches -- like the homosexuals did who defecated on the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York in the 80's -- and besmear and desecrate their objects of veneration?

That would seem to bespeak a certain pathological hatred.

Well?

Everyone knows that Lee was the executor of his father in law’s estate. Arlington House belonged to George Washington Parke Custis, George Washington’s heir.

But that isn’t what you said. You claimed that Lee was a slaveowner and an overseer.

Interestingly enough that description does fit George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and most every other early President besides the Adams, but neo-yankees are notably silent on that issue. Neo-yankee moralizing seems to begin only at 1860.

When I first read your post that I suspected that you were attempting to twist Lee’s role as executor of the Arlington estate into something that would suit your agenda. You’re predictable in your lack of truthfulness when it comes to the south.
