Communists and the Left in general regard any disagreement as wholly unacceptable and all bad and worthy of any and all adjectives and nouns that denote or connote evil.

So when will the left start its book burning? First the statues, then the books.

Shelby Foote, the master “Civil War” writer, that penned true masterpieces. Sad commentary in today’s America, populated by hateful, bigoted Black racist people that have no sense nor understanding of the value of AMERICAN history as it actually was. Bravo. & Many Kudos & Praises to you....Shelby Foote!!!

Reading an article like that makes me think of a few months ago, another Freeper mentioned to me that they visited China in the recent past and they went to see places that were either vandalized or completely destroyed during the 1960s Cultural Revolution. The recent antics of people concerning the Confederacy made that Freeper think a lot of what he saw in China on that occasion.

Revisionist journalism - instant shifts according to the way the wind blows. Not anything to be depended upon for any kind of certainty. built on sand that drifts to and fro, not on solid rock.

Jonathan Chait and his ilk are would be iconoclasts, they have a new direction and with the enthusiasm of fresh converts they want to sweep all before them BEFORE any longer term consideration.

I recommend any decent American buy Foote’s books, Bruce Caton’s and all the other good Civil War tomes and squirrel them away like the protagonists of Fahrenheit 451. I have them on my shelves! (Along with GWTW - a book that inspired many good historians.)

I cold listen to Mr. Foote read a phone book. Loved his voice.

Shelby Foote is gone. It would be nice to have had his work recorded in audio with his voice.

[Nifster]

Foote is a good read

I listened to The Civil War: A Narrative on cassette tapes during a brief stint as a OTR trucker. Each volume came in a plastic plastic case jammed with 14-16 tapes. Occupied many an hour listening to those tapes, sometimes passing though areas where the battles had been fought.

OTR trucker wasn’t for me, but it was a heck of a way to see the country.

There are plenty right here on this forum not one whit different than this nut in question

My homepage lists many of the,

My ancestors were Nazis in gray etc

One even loudly complained all slave owners and their families should have been hanged

They seek virtue signaling approval here

They are quieter than they used to be

But they pimp this southerners were Nazis meme same as the left does

Fresno should zot them with prejudice

Just my two cents
