I beseech thee all to reconsider.
Mr. Forrest was an enemy to the Republic, to the principles of equality and freedom as expressed in the constitution and affirmed by Lincoln in the Cooper Union speech and all Republican acts through the war, do not think that confederate ideology is the future of conservative thought in America in the 21st century.
I'm pretty sure that the direct descendants of the Virginians who pretty much started this country didn't die at The Angle because they were confused about what the American Republic was...
At the very least Forrest defended the states rights arguments of the Confederacy. Whether you agree with that or not in the context of our Civil War, whose side do you believe Forrest would be on today? Can we use fighting men like him in the defense of our civilization? In fighting these bastards, do you believe we are talking about political differences or life and death? Decide, because your life depends on it.
Yeah, yeah, and George Washington as an enemy to the Crown and a slave owner as well.
The Crown was granting emancipation to slaves who would fight for the King. You neo-yankee moralizers grow very quiet when challenged to apply your “tests” to him. Better get out your Redcoat and pledge allegiance to King George III.
You would profit from studying the words actually spoken by General Forrest himself on the subject of race relations rather than puking up the consensus feelings of contemporary race pimps.
Start with the speech given by General Forrest at the 1875 convention of the Pole Bearers, the forerunner of the NAACP.
And Mr. Sherman was an enemy to the Confederacy. Your point?
...do not think that confederate ideology is the future of conservative thought in America in the 21st century.
The Confederate constitution, while closely resembling the U.S. version, contained certain changes to which 21st-century conservatives might be favorably disposed: term limits; a congressional super-majority requirement to pass spending or taxation bills; a requirement that the title of each legislative bill must accurately describe its contents; no riders were allowed to be attached to a bill. And acknowledgment of God in the Preamble.
lincoln was a TYRANT & DESTROYER of the Constitution. he & "wee willie klintoon" were "two of a kind". EITHER would have done ANYTHING to get ahead. NEITHER was decent/moral as men/POTUS. BOTH would have passed out White House recipes for cooking people, if 2% of the voters turned to cannibalism.
it's sad that you seem to believe & PARROT the SELF-righteous BILGE out of the most extreme LEFT "idiot fringe" of northeastern REVISIONIST academia.
MOST of those REVISIONIST, sanctimonious. ELITISTS wouldn't spit on you if you were aflame;furthermore they "laugh behind their hands" AT anyone, who is foolish enough to believe their KNOWING lies.
