It sounds like he was a capable administrator for LSU and generally a pretty stand up dude.


Plus anyone who sets fire to Atlanta is a good dude in my book.

Personally I would support it, based on some brief reading. It sounds like he was a capable administrator for LSU and generally a pretty stand up dude.
Here's a pretty cool quote from Sherman:


That's not how the game is played these days. If he did anything that wouldn't be looked upon as PC in 2017, he's considered a monster.

So the title of the thread could be "James Carville wants to rename LSU Parade Grounds after first LSU President."

Shocked he didn't recommend Huey P!



I'd be all about naming it the Huey

But why does it need a new name... seems like a douchey libtard thing to do... and it's Carville, soooo that checks out

You're trying to refute my argument by bringing up something completely unrelated.

"A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be 'attacking a straw man'."

They were traitors to the King, a fact of which they were well aware.

The difference is that they won. The Confederates were traitors to the Union and lost. They don't get bonus points for wanting it really bad or trying their best.
