Everyone, count the cost before committing. I’m in the South, from a long line of Confederates; great grandfather was a Confederate soldier. They hoped it would be a brief spectacle, too. Well over half a million men died in that war; and now, in spite of quitting themselves like men, us “Rebs” are regularly maligned by the likes of Obama who fancies himself the modern-day “Lincoln”. - Count the cost; because there is a cost.

I think you misunderstood my comment. I did not advocate anything. It was simply a compliment to eloquence. That’s all.

Not sure how you read all that into what I said.

How many times have soldiers said "we'll be home by Christmas"? You can count on this gun grabbing and overreaching by the left to be long and protracted to a breaking point. And what comes after will be long and protracted.
