Her legs look like stumps and I find nothing attractive about a woman who can whip my arse.

Hard NO.

John Wayne was a draft dodging pussy. Jimmy Stewart was a man's man.

Shut up punk. Do what Auburn always does and go lick Bama's boots.

I do not want any kid to be hungry. I want all kids to live happy and carefree lives. If we feed some cheats so that the underprivileged will get what they need then so be it.

Competent Confederate artillery would have helped.

After the initial rounds neither side could see that other due to all the smoke from the cannons. The Confederates were firing over the Union infantry lines and did not know it. The Union stopped firing back to cool their cannon barrels before the inevitable infantry charge. When they did Col. Edward Porter Alexander who commanded the Confederate artillery thought the Union artillery had been taken out. That and the fact that he was running out of ammunition caused him to tell Longstreet to charge at once or he could not provide artillery support.

Alexander's mother was a Hillhouse as was my grandmother. He and my great great grandfather were cousins.
