“A man who hoped that the passage of time would resolve the world’s problems.”
That does not describe Robert E. Lee, nor does it describe any worthy leader.
I’ve posted links to this column in the past days with all the kerfuffle and histrionics generated by hyper-ventilating SJWs.
Indeed. The MSM is always, always flogging the end of the world over this week’s issue of the century.

If there is one thing that the French Terror, Nazism, and the twentieth century’s People’s Revolutions have taught us, it’s this.
