I'm sure you could, but that is not the issue here any more than the fact that I could find the same on pro-Yankee web sites. At issue is the fact that a poster here, WhiskeyPapa, is an avowed leftist democrat who, in an extension of that leftist agenda, posts PC-rants against anything southern right here and right now on FR.
Politically, there seems to be a sizable gulf between WhiskeyPapa and myself, but he does seem to be a "thorn in the flesh" to many of you pro-Confederates, and that is fine with me
If I am in correct in presuming that you are a conservative, I venture to say that Walt's politics are more dissimilar to your own than mine or most of the others you would group as pro-confederates.
He may be left of center, but he does know his Civil War history.
Not really. He parrots ahistorical cut n' paste snipets off of newsgroups, many of which have practically nothing to do with the subject he claims to be addressing other than the fact that they're both civil war-related. On many occasions I have seen him stare directly in the face of first hand historical evidence and deny its existence because admitting otherwise would require him to admit that Abe Lincoln was something other than an infallable deity. Such is not history - it is fraud.
Now watch I am going to be accused of being a communist, socialist, south-hating ...too.
Only if you start bragging about how you voted for Al Gore and start posting blame-america-firster rants about how George Bush is at fault for 9/11. If you do not do such or anything that may be construed similarly, you have nothing to worry about.
I urge to read these links where Walt has been know to post from. Consider your own conservative positions and how these websites fit into your realm.
I quote the Supreme Court pretty often, and the people of the day. That you characterize it as "snippets off of newsgroups" will speak to the people who can hear.

How long did it take for you to craft --that-- sentence? Boy, if that's all you have on Lincoln -- that he wasn't God, I reckon you are about done in this contest.
Abraham Lincoln was a man who made mistakes, but he got an awful lot right. Lincoln had a powerful intellect. He had a full helping of common sense and a great capacity for work. He also had a great and good heart. It's no wonder he is considered one of the greatest Americans, if not the greatest. I defend Mr. Lincoln against your calumnies. Why don't you run some of them up again, and we'll see how they fly this time.
