OT Was Robert E. Lee really all that evil?

What I love most about that cartoon is that the horse is super offended. That horse is truly committed to preserving statues of the confederacy!

The civil war was a breeze. No biggie to win again. We should just schedule one for every ten years. The Olympics is too often. 10 sounds good.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Hey, I am kinda down for repeating the revolutionary war. Who'd we fight again?

Dammit, this is going too far! I can understand generals but leave the colonel alone!

It's no accident that KKK and KFC both begin with K.

Totally off the thread topic......but this place is awesome when it comes to reserviced/reused wood. Their stuff is from old barns and houses around the PNW (we have an 8' table and bench they made out of an old PDX house. Old growth Doug Fir with saw marks throughout. Stuff you just can't get new anymore). They are located in the Kenton District. When next you're moored up around Jantzen Beach you should check it out. If this place doesn't give a woodworker a chubby, you better check your pulse.....

Yes! Will do.

As I recall, they started branding themselves as "KFC" because "Kentucky Fried Clan" (the original name, not many people know that) was too scary to people who wanted food that was lighter on Southern heritage.

I finally realized what this entire thing. The world's biggest virtue signaling competition on twitter.

I hate Nazis
Ha, I wanna kill em.
Ha ha, I wanna kill them and their families.
Ha ha ha, I wanna kill them and their families and anyone who doesn't want to kill them and their families.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, in a world with even one Nazi I want to destroy us all just in case there's still a Nazi!!!!!!

It's mind boggling actually. Like a Clan gathering of the all the Progressives and Liberals for a giant pity party complete with competition for best show of compassion, best worded hate of hate, and clarity of in rejection of long gone villains.

Yes, exactly. It's like a Ku Klux Klan of compassion. It's like a tolerance Nazi rally.

Your similes are definitely on point, MarAzul.

Vs. a Klan gathering of all the Trump fans complete with competition for least show of compassion, best worded hate, and clarity in embracement of long gone villains.

You're not playing to win I take it.

Nay! The President is not twisting anything, I called it, the same way I see it.

It all makes sense now. @MarAzul is actually a talking horse.

Hahaha hahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That's the kind of thing I was thinking about. My idea was a statue of Flavor Flav pointing and laughing at Robert E Lee and the like.

He was amazing. We should build some monuments to honor him.

Myself, I find I just don't connect with the country in that era. It is just history to me, not good or bad. I suppose it is partly due to, I have no family history in this country that far back.

I only connect with a certain orange 69 charger I saw fly through the air as a kid. Watching it now I notice that the car collapsed on many landings. Kids, maybe it was just a small tv that caused it. Yeah, that's it.

You know, I am pretty sure the guy aligned with racists.

I realize now that I want him dead.

I'm talking about Robert E Lee. I have been reading about him in this thread. He's a bad dude.

It would be preferable to him continuing to lead the South.

Doesn't seem like the "American Hitler" the left is trying to paint him as and erase him from the history books.

That's because he's NOT. I guarantee you that half the morons protesting his statue don't even know that he was an officer in the Union Army (US Army) before he was a Confederate. They probably think that he just woke up one day and boom...Confederate.

If they think he's evil, I'd like to know what they think of Oskar Schindler. He actually profited, for a time, off of Jewish slave labor for the Nazi regime, and he was, until Germany's surrender, a member of the Nazi Party.

I don't think Schindler was evil. Nor do I think General Lee is the American Anti-Christ that the Left is making him out to be. Of all the things that they could choose to focus on that were bad about the Civil War, Lee should not be one of them.
