FRiend, I'm familiar with that argument, and I know where it comes from.
It doesn't come from the Conservative side of our political house.
It's the argument Liberals use, and we often bow to, that "perception is reality", if everyone believes it, then it is.
But it's not, and our job is to break through the myths into the reality underlying them, and make certain that what we say about the past accurately reflects what really happened, and why.
Anything else dishonors, disrespects and demeans our ancestors just for the sake of some temporary political advantage today.
Ok, we’ve both exchnged our facts. You still claim my facts are misinformation, and I still believe that your facts are the same. Thus, we’ve come full circle, back to where we started.
Thanks for an interesting but inconclusive discussion. Neither of us were in the Civil War and we both choose which facts we wish to believe. Neither of us changed the other’s mind and all we have done is waste JimRob’s bandwisth.
