re: Ike chose the portraits of 4 Great Americans to hang in his Oval Office

Lee was one of the best spoken people this country has ever seen. Without him, there never would have been any healing. It would have been continuous war. But he convinced Southerners that it was time to heal. And that's one reason Lincoln pardoned the South. Things could have gone way different and more violent. Lee prevented that.

He did so much more than those who want to paint him as a treasonous bastard traitor. For those who think that, take the time to learn the real history rather than your lazy HS teacher's version.

Lee was one of the most honorable men the nation has produced. Without his guidance and influence, this nation could have been subjected to decades of guerrilla warfare and mounting tension.

This current kerfuffle is nothing more than an attempt to create now the violent division that Lee worked so hard to prevent 150 years ago.

All because the snowflakes lost an election.

I have hated the DEM leadership for decades now, but was just sad for the DEM voters. I am beginning to include the voters in my loathing. They have become completely unhinged and destructive within their own belief system.
