From time to time, I have to take historians across the battlefields of Farmington, Corinth, Hatchie Bridge, Iuka, Parker's Crossroads, Shiloh, and Brice's Crossroads. I do this for the city and historians. We do have some spirited conversations and when I mention that a certain historian is arrogant, an opening into the abdomen, or a class act it is from first hand experience. McPherson....well he does have some good redeming qualities.

Hey....I know. I have plenty of acquaintances that are liberals....my own mom is anti-anti-abortion (I can't bring myself to call it "choice")....we all have to fraternize with the enemy to some degree.

McPherson simply came to mind because he has been touted by South bashers and ravaged by heritage defenders and he keeps some pretty poor company at times...(excluding you of course).

There was a thread on here today whereby most history professors who answered a poll identified themselves as liberals....I think at Cornell it was 100%,

When I was at Ole Miss, history and even Poli Sci was fairly conservative....25 years ago.

Shame.
