From the article quoted on the thread to which you referred me:

‘[Lee] was certainly not good for the nation. This is the guy we faced on the battlefield whose entire purpose in life was to destroy the nation as it was then conceived. … This is all part of an informed discussion,’ she said.

One could well argue that, contrary to the assertion quoted, Lee's purpose on that battlefield was to preserve the nation as it was originally conceived and still was understood by the South. Along with the spoils, the right to write history belongs to the victors, but there comes a point at which history must at least pay a courtesy call on the truth.

One wonders if this is merely coincidence or is this part of the Obama administration war on our military? Napolitano has defined veterans to be potential terrorists of whom we must be wary. The culture of the military has been wrenched by the new regulations concerning gays. The left regards the military as a wonderful Skinner box, a place where top down social engineering can be done by decree so much easier than trying to shape the civilian culture with all its pesky checks and balances and its Bill of Rights.

Is this part of a greater plan to neutralize the military or even co-op the military when a second American Civil War breaks out?

The Obama administration has been decapitating generals left and right, it is no surprise the generals Lee and Jackson should also be beheaded.

First off, it’s Christmas Eve... and with that let me wish you a very Merry Christmas! I’m off to do some last minute shopping, as men are wont to do. Buying my brother a couple of AMERICAN made truck tires.

Not that I’m prescient, but some time ago I recognized that taboos were falling at a pace that had an exponential factor. I described this verbally to a friend. Imagine holding a stack of paper in your hand. You are in a car with the window down, and you stick your hands out clasping a stack of papers... say 3-4 inches in thickness. The vehicle that you are riding in is traveling about 70 mph. You start to release pressure on the ream of paper. A few pages fly off. BOOM. No dress code in schools. As you continue to release pressure, more and more pages fly off. BOOM. Abortion on demand. At some point, the pages are disappearing at such an accelerated rate that in mere seconds they will all be gone. BOOM. Queer Nation is a popular television program, or at the very least, a rallying cry. Our mores, values, traditions, customs, etc. are those pages and we are in some definable range of those pages... maybe the last inch or so. BOOM. Lee and Jackson. Two more pages off of the stack. Poof. Gone. Took an instant at most, and here we are. Our founders warned us. The behavior of the citizens of Rome, foretold what would happen if we lost our moral compass.

OK my fine feathered freeper friend, I’m off to enjoin the masses in crass commercialism. Keep your powder dry, and as one wise freeper (squantos???) says... have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
