“Confederates fought against America to preserve slavery.”

If the Confederates were fighting FOR slavery, who was fighting against slavery?

In 1861, the Army of the Confederacy became the military arm of the Democrat Party. When will it be held accountable? If there is truly no statute of limitations on moral wrongs of the past, why aren’t the Democrats paying for their transgressions?

“While we honor our dead, we do not honor the principle for which they fought....
= = =

No one is/was perfect (except One).

So in that vein, no one has principles that can be honored.

So better dig everyone up, and grind them into compost for pot farms. And include everyone still living.

Who volunteers to be first????

Start with Drive-By Anchors - - -

Rush Limbaugh: US On 'Cusp Of A Second Civil War'

""We haven't seen anything like this. You might even get away with saying that we are on the cusp of a second civil war. Some of you might say that we are already into it, that it has already begun. However you characterize it, though, we are under attack from within. And, it's being bought and paid for by people from outside America, in addition to inside," Limbaugh said."

I can see it now: Feed and house our living while our dead shore up the vote where and when needed.

I was once at Cold Harbor on an overcast day and the fog hung about 6 feet off the ground like smoke. I was standing approximately where Grant would have watched 7,000 of his men die in 20 minutes. The hair on the back of my neck stood up.

“The Confederate soldier looked the Union officer squarely in the eye and answered, “Because you’re HERE!”

Captain Frederick Benteen in the 1879 Court of Inquiry concerning the Little Big Horn matter stated in a different way why men would oppose the blue army which had been given orders to take it all.

“We were at their hearths and homes,” he said, referring to the Sioux . . . “and they were fighting for all the good God gives anyone to fight for.”
