"People who keep fighting over something that ended more than a hundred years ago are little better than people who want reperations for slavery. Robert E. Lee, a man of enormous integrity and honor, would have been the first person to tell today's unreconstructed rebels to get over themselves and move on."

Take a look at the thread started the other day to honor that great American, R.E. Lee on his birthday. You'll find quite a few blue-zone types calling him a traitor and dishonorable. I can't count how many times my Confederate ancestors have been compared to Nazis and called traitors on these type of threads. Maybe it's the blue zoners that need to "get over themselves and move on".

I didn't see that thread; but if indeed folks were doing the "ad hominem" thing, they aren't very well educated. They know only the most cursory of facts and history on the matter.
