Hunley hoopla ignores other side of story

Jaffa is credited with Goldwater's famous quote ...

Well, shut my mouth and call me cornpone! I Googled it, and you are indeed correct.

At this point, the only rejoinder that comes to mind is:
HILLARY WAS A "GOLDWATER GIRL" IN '64!

A silly ad hominem, but that just shows how dumbfounded I am by this bit of trivia.

The founders told us in what respects we're all equal - in our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (property would have been a better third word).

I take no responsibility for the modern construction of the Constitution - I abominate it. I would probably vote to impeach at least 6 of the current justices for amending the constition by judicial fiat in contravention of the article V amendment procedures.

Can we agree on this: if alive today, Davis or Lincoln, unlike Kerry, would know what to do with Arab Terrorists.

I received this e-mail this week from the Friends of the Hunley, I post it here FYI.
I have heard thru the grapevine that there may be a shocker in the facial reconstruction data which may dazzel a few.
Which is why I expect that the above article mentions slaves having a connection to the sub.
If anyone wants more info on this weeks events, drop me a Freepmail and I'll forward any Hunley info to you.

Subject: Hunley Member Update

Dear FRIENDS of the Hunley:
We have both a solemn and exciting weekahead of us with the Hunley crew finally being given the Burial they have been deprived for over a century. This historic moment would not have been possible without your generous and ongoing support.
There are several items I wanted to share with you that will be going on during the upcoming week.
First, as many as you know, Friends of the Hunley recently completed working with National Geographic to create a second hour-long documentary that will take the viewer along on our process of discovery about the crew.
The documentary will cover the facial reconstruction process and how Hunley staff and consultants are piecing together information to learn more about the crew who manned the first successful combat submarine.
The documentary, titled Forensic Case: The Hunley, will air this Sunday, April 11 on MSNBC at 8PM. Please check your local listings to confirm thatthe show will air at that time in your area.
Secondly, I know many of you will be coming to the Burial on April 17th, but for those of you in South Carolina who cannot attend, the entire procession and service will be aired on ETV's South Carolina Channel on Saturday, April 17th, from 9am - 3pm and then re-broadcast on that night
from 6pm - 12am.
Additionally, ETV will air an edited 90-minute version on Sunday, April 18th at 1.30pm. Finally, starting Monday, April 12, we will be sending you email updates throughout the week so that you can learn more about the Hunley crew in the days before their Burial.
Again, thank you, FRIENDS, for all you have done for the Hunley project.
Warren Lasch
Chairman, Friends of the Hunley
