And I love Sarah but I don’t worship her.

No, you just have a gushing screen name like that, because you were incapable thinking of something more clever, is that it?

And if you loved Sarah in 2012, exactly which states do you think she was not intending to be President of if she'd actually won?

Face it, you are not really the Palin aficionado your screen name is meant to imply that you are.

I pray for this country to be divided into two separate [sic.] countries.

You go ahead and keep praying to what ever divisive talisman you chose to worship.

By contrast, I'll continue to pray to the same God that Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin pray to and for a decidedly different outcome.

FReegards!

Lee was a man worthy of respect in my opinion. Its too bad that all these years later no one has learned anything from him.

"I surrendered as much to Lincoln's goodness as I did to Grant's armies."

- General Robert E Lee.

And for Grant's part, he wrote an addendum to the surrender terms stating that the officers would not be disarmed. He set an example for union soldiers that Confederate officers be treated with the same respect by union soldiers that they would show for their own officers.

In my personal opinion, nothing harmed the south more than Lincoln's assassination. It brought people to power who sought to punish the south and they did exactly that.

Had I been around in the days leading up to the war I think I would have been in the Freesoil camp of thought. They would have averted war by containment of slavery and letting it die of starvation. If the north had refused to buy products (cotton) of slavery it would have died for a lack of profitability.

If only people had listened to the cooler heads of the day.

Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives, you may win Southern independence if God be not against you, but I doubt it. I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of states rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South.
