re: #182 HappyWarrior

It’s always been about that. Oh and even with Gillespie. Hes from New Jersey and our biggest CSA suckup, Corey Stewart is from Minnesota. Corey could talk about the 1st Minnesota’s sacrifice at Gettysburg or that it was a Minnesota man that was the last veteran of that war to pass away, providing a link to post WWII America and the war but Corey chooses to talk about “Yankees.” I’m proud to be a Virginian. I’m proud to be from the state of George C. Marshall, George Thomas. That’s the heritage Virginians ought to celebrate.

Time for my favorite George Thomas quote:

Efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism.

And it is even more sickening when the people spreading this counterfeit varnish are not even from the south…
