1. Pray tell how a traitor is considered one of our leaders.

Well, now that I think about it... the whole administration is a bunch of traitors and racists.

5. I have nothing against people who admire Lee for his military genius

I admire Manstein, Guderian and Rommel. But I certainly wouldn't point to any of them as a model leader of a free society. None of them were dyed-in-the-wool Nazis, but they went along with things and maybe made an occasional act of resistance.

Its pretty scary that the Trumpsters are playing to the confederate idiots. Those with a pickup, no education, a resentment toward people of color. And worst to all have more that their fair share of guns.

11. We were recently at a small annual gathering of former...

...Air Force pilots - a get-together started by a fellow aviator my husband met back in 1970 in Viet Nam.

One of the guys there, who my husband also met in Viet Nam, is a life long NRA member. I have known him since the mid-1980s when he and m husband were again stationed together. He told my husband that he has a gun in every room of his house. My husband asked him, "Even in the bathrooms?" The answer was, "Yes." Creepy.

More than their fair share of guns, indeed.

6. He wasn't "our" leader, you traitorous POS!

7. Flaws that caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

[Kber]

8. Robert Lee never was my leader

Me being an American and all.

10. She would have made a great witness for the defense at the Nuremberg trials.

12. She would certainly know, she comes up with ridiculous excuses for hers every single day
