"I know that was supposed to be a slam but it just tells me you miss the point."

My point was made clearly; no miss at all. It's gotta suck to lose a war, but somehow life went on.

"My point was made clearly, . . ."

Yes, your point was clear -- just not applicable. My point is that people discuss historic matters for many reasons that have nothing to do with "still fighting the war." If it did, we could just quit teaching history all together. You obviously did and do miss that point or you would not have made the comment to someone whom you know nothing about. Either that or you simply chose not to acknowledge such matters because that would require exercising a modicum of intellect and take you out of your comfort zone.

And, yes, I guess it does suck losing a war, though I wouldn't know from personal experience. You would have much more experience with that as witnessed by your daily losing of the war or words.

Good day.

Next time you bitch about "Big Government" just remember the side you supported in that war brought it about. That includes income tax, shrinking individual liberties, etc. Yes, turn a blind eye to the truth, but isn't it amazing how Sherman's "Final Solution to the Indian Problem" and Hitler's "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" had the same answer?! Putting both races in contained areas, and extermination of them whenever the opportunity presented itself. Then that old pesky question of "How can you blame that on Lincoln?" comes along. I'll wager the only difference between Sherman and the Waffen SS were about 80 years, and physical distance between areas of conflict.
