Sorry, I was not referring to you specifically, but to our Lost Causers generally, who tell us endlessly that, "it's all about the money, money, money, only money, always money, nothing else but money, except for Confederates it's the Declaration of Independence."
So they do sometimes acknowledge other motives than money, but only for their own Confederate ancestors and those they tie back to our Founders.
I call that Marxist because Marx was the first to identify "dialectical materialism" and class warfare as the root causes for all historical conflicts.
itsahoot: "I have been around long enough to know that the official version of events bares little resemblance to the truth."
Sure, and we all have vivid imaginations we can employ to create historical "theories" not supported by facts.
Indeed, some people (called Democrats) live in their fantasies so much they simply reject any truths which contradict them -- for examples, Russian "collusion" and "obstruction".
Even when $35 million, 19 lawyers, 40 investigators, 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants & 500 witnesses all tell you "no!", what do you do if you're a Democrat?
That's right, you announce: "we must impeach the President now, because if we don't, he will get reelected"!!
So some people (Democrats) do live in their fantasies, impervious to reality and I sincerely apologize if it seemed I suggested one of those was you, itsahoot.
