Let's assume for a second that it was Trump and not the Hildebeest that was puckering up to Byrd in that picture. It wouldn't matter what he had repudiated and apologized for. Even if his heart was now so pure that even God himself would have stepped out of heaven and declared Byrd's heart to be pure, that wouldn't have been no where near enough for the Librul nut burgers out there!!!... And after that picture got out, the librul shit hemorrhage that followed would have been heard/smelled all around the world for weeks to come.
Hmmmm, it seems to me that free speech squelching and these mini Kristallnachts that keep popping up around the country have been generated by the left. Show me evidence that contradicts that and I'll change my view about who are the NAZIs are.
Please don't tell anybody this, I'd sure hate to get kicked out of the Southern Red Neck Society, but I absolutely adore Lincoln and I'm damned glad the South didn't have a Southern version of him....I believe it was George Will who said, while pondering what would have happened if the South had won, "Those guys would not have played well together".
Let's not forget that Grant and Sherman got the shit kicked out of them too.
When Grant moved south to meet Lee in early May 1864 he had right at 120,000 men under his command. After about eight weeks of constant fighting he had lost right at 60,000 of these men to death, wounds, desertions etc., but still had an army that numbered over 100,000....I haven't worried about these numbers for a while but if I'm off, I'm only off by a little bit.
Don't let this out either as it would also get me kicked out of the SRNS. I think Grant was a very fine man who deserves an exalted place in the history of this country. Had it been any other general in command of the Army of the Potomac, well, it could have been disastrous for this country. The reason being that after the first couple of days of facing Lee and I think any other Yankee general would have marched back over the Potomac to lick their wounds.
There was no way that Grant would have ever done that for two reasons I think. First, it was just not in his nature to retreat and second, I don't think the Army of the Potomac and any more times to run back north without losing the war and both Grant and Lincoln knew it. The people of the north were bone tired of seeing nothing but long casualty lists on a daily basis with no end in sight.
Now if this gets out the SRNS won't bother to kick me out of the group.....The Aholes will probably send a firing squad after me instead. I have a great appreciation Sherman. However, I think you might be able to make a pretty good argument that it was Jefferson Davis stupidity and not Sherman's military prowess that sank the South.
Let's remember that when Sherman began his campaign, He was facing Gen. Joseph Johnston. Yes, he began pushing the Rebs back to Atlanta but gains were coming at a rather stiff cost. Every time Sherman's army would move, Johnston's army would always come up with a brilliant counter move. And to a large degree, this "swinging like a heavyweight boxer" but never being able to connect frustrated Sherman to the point that he gave some horrible orders and got his army mangled at Kennesaw Mountain by trying to take on the Rebs in a series of frontal assaults.
Even though successful, in my opinion, these retreating moves were looked upon as failure by Jefferson Davis who fired Johnston and replaced him with John Bell Hood. Sherman and his staff actually celebrated the departure of Johnston.
Hood was the type of man who would have gone bear hunting with a stick. But now, hooked on laudanum due to severe war wounds, he didn't even bother to get his stick when hunting bear. Hood immediately took his much smaller army on the offensive and got it clobbered.
I think Johnston, even if he never "defeated" Sherman, would have kept him at bay long enough for McClellan to have taken the 1864 election from Lincoln and that would have been a horrible defeat for our country.
I lived in Washington DC in 2002 and used to love going to a bookstore called the Politics and Prose to talk about stuff like this. One old Librul coprolite that I met there became a good friend and bridge partner. Alas, cancer took him a few years back.

If Lincoln came back he'd never stop throwing up over what his 'Party' has become.
