Hah! Very true. Damn Northerners should have minded their own business and left the South alone. I'll take Robert E. Lee over Grant any day of the week. Lee did a damn fine job fighting an enemy which had him outgunned and had a far better industrial base than the agrarian South.

@ Adak: Please go back over to your "Macabre" thread if you have nothing relevant to add to this one.

Of course - running down the Tea Party is fine, but putting it's actions back into the context of our fiscal troubles - that's no help at all.

I'll leave you to your important assessment of Lee and Grant.

So far you don't qualify for Sam's special thread drift permission. I'll let you know if that happy day ever arrives.

Gee, thanks! I'm sure we'll manage the First Battle of Bull Run without you - somehow.

I prefer "The Recent Unpleasantness".
