Post your favorite General Lee quote, story, or wisdom.

I'll start off with a classic (respectfully)

A farmer in his pickup truck in Alabama was driving across a
bridge when he noticed a man standing on the rail of the
bridge ready to jump to his death in the river below. The
farmer stopped his truck ran up to the man and said, "Hey
fellow, why are you doing this?"

The man replied, "Well, I have nothing to live for."

The Alabama farmer replied, "Well, think of your wife and
children!"

The jumper replied, "I have no wife or children."

The Alabama farmer then said, "Well, then think of your
mother and father!"

The man replied, "Mom and Dad passed on many years back."

The Alabama farmer then said, "Well, think of General
Robert E. Lee!"

The would-be jumper replied, "Who?"

With that the Alabama farmer said, "Well then go ahead,
jump!"

But weren't all Confederates evil baby-raping racists?
/sarcasm

If you though Trent got flack try praising General Lee in public.

I was delightfully excited to learn that R.E. Lee was a born-again Christian. Yes, even spirit filled people will fight for the greater good of God's plan.

To our greatest American Field General:

Perhaps America's finest soldier:

R. E. Lee when he was a young officer.

For all the talk these days of sedition in time of war, of the anti-Americanism of certain groups, there was only one time that any one group of internal traitors actually waged war upon this nation, and that group was the CSA.

I'm glad Lee recognized the evil of his actions and tried to atone for his sins before his death. May God have mercy on his soul but I fear he burns in hell.

USS ROBERT E. LEE

[ZULU]

Thanks for the reminder - General Robert E. Lee - like George Washington, a figure bigger than life and a great American!!!

Happy Birthday General Lee.

[4CJ]

May God bless General Robert E. Lee.

My birthday is January 20th, so those bloodthirsty rebels Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson have me surrounded.

In honor of the late Confederates, here's a link to a partial mp3 version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" performed by the Jerry Garcia Band.

Virginia native Lee-Jackson(-King) day bump!

(I always thought it was ironic, though, that in Virginia, Lee-Jackson Day and MLK Day wound up on the same day for a while. I can't say if Rev. King would've been proud of sharing a holiday with two of Virginia's finest men, but I always thought it was rather neat, m'self.)

Lee married Mary Ann Randolph Curtis

Her surname was Custis, not Curtis.

I know this as I was born and raised just a few miles from the illustrious Custis-Lee Mansion, "Arlington House" in the Virginia county named in its honour.

For this reason alone, Northern Virginia should not be called not part of the south...by you southerners who live further from Lee's home.
