Couldn’t agree more. Ted Lieu is also my congressjerk.

When your congressjerk is Ted Lieu, you get a skewed perspective on the country as well as suffer continuous embarrassment//////

Do not make the mistake of thinking lieu and his ilk are misinformed fools. They are evil, calculating bastards who want to make the USA into Bolivia, with a few privileged enclaves.

Ignorant liberals do visit America. That's why you can find graffiti in Zion.

Title says it all.

I have lived in LA for 70 years ...but from a family of farmers who still farm California!

And if you think there will be some sort of acknowledgement of what those men did to end slavery at Devil’s Den or Culp’s Hill, I’ve got a unicorn named Chet for sale cheap.

Yay! Chet is back.

A few comments:

Schlicter clearly visits the Yankee Treasury of (bogus) Virtue often.
John Brown was a psychopath and terrorist. He dreamed of igniting a Santo Domingo in the South. In Kansas his most notable feat was murdering a number of dirt farmers who came from Missouri.

Union soldiers overwhelmingly detested blacks as their frequent acts of casual violence towards both slaves and contraband's shows.

Chambersburg was targeted by Jubal Early and McCauseland as retribution for the recent yankee actions at Lexington, Va which featured a general bombardment of the town which at that time contained no organized Confederate resistance as the VMI Cadet Battalion had been withdrawn to be incorporated into Breakenridge’s army.
The yankees not only destroyed the VMI buildings (fair enough, it was a military training facility, but refused to allow any scientific instruments or the library to be removed before the burning began.

a more complete description of the actions of Hunter's Union forces is supplied here:

Union general David Hunter targeted Lexington in June 1864, as he marched his troops south through the Shenandoah Valley. Rushing to its defense were Confederate forces under John A. McCausland, who gave enough notice for frantic Lexingtonians to hide their valuables in attics, under floors, and in outhouses. On June 11, McCausland burned the bridge over the North River (now Maury River) in an attempt to delay Hunter's advance, effectively cutting it off from its main supply route. By mid-afternoon, Union shells were raining on the town, followed by three days of Union troops raiding and looting virtually every private home, business, and institution in Lexington. On June 12, Hunter burned Virginia governor John Letcher’s home, the Virginia Military Institute, and several faculty houses. Hunter departed Lexington on June 14, leaving it to face a long, hungry winter.

as a result Early did direct destruction of about as much of Chambersburg as was destroyed in Lexington.

To the best of my knowledge devoted themselves to trying to defeat and expel massive invasions of their states by Union forces. In the case of my family the people who destroyed a large part of my GG parents farm were from New Jersey. To my knowledge no one on either side of my family had ever done anything hostile to that state or its residents, although my father was mugged and beaten in the delightful town of Camden, and when the police found out he was a resident of Virginia they refused to take any report and cursed him as a ‘damned rebel ‘(in 1935) and told him they would arrest him for vagrancy if he didn't shut and move along. (In fairness. the union officer that commanded the cavalry unit that sacked my GG M's farm told her to get ‘her people’ into the house and he would put a guard of ‘sober’ men on the house. The officer admitted he would not be able to control his men as their was a brandy press on the farm. He was also kind enough to order his troop sgt to scatter the livestock so some would be left after his detachment left. The only human casualty was a young black man who wanted to ‘get his freedom’ and approached the yankee soldiers. He was beaten to death by them as he wouldn't ‘tell them where the silver and cash were hidden’. There weren't any but yankees always believed that every farm house in the South concealed a treasure chest.

Innumerably Southern families endured this American schrecklichkeit as Union forces literally sacked and burned half of the pre-1861 country. The Colonel here should pay some more attention to what the ugly ground reality of the Union policy of terrorization during the WBTS. Yankees in that war acted as the neo-communist left wishes to act today towards the American hinterland.

Good read.

My concern is our Millenials, a generation well-indoctrinated by their schools/MSM/SM to be ignorant of the true America surrounding them and go left, and all the elders quietly tolerating these (voting) youts’ waywardness.

Locked up in their largely child-free urban playgrounds, our garbage elite is utterly unaware of the real America and of real Americans themselves. And it is dangerously unaware of – even actively hostile to – our true history. There are lessons there they need to learn as they continue to bully and provoke the mass of Americans who just wish to be left alone. Anyone who causally suggests confiscating millions of weapons from millions of American patriots and who has not walked through Lexington and Concord is a fool. And, sadly, our blue elite is full of fools.

A good one from Col Schlichter.
