If I Was President

[prophet]

Sherman made the hard decision, to burn all but 400 of Atlanta's buildings, guaranteeing that Atlanta would not be recaptured and used as a supply hub.
He got the idea from the Confederate Maj.gen. who torched the boxcars and ammo dump, on his way out of town in retreat.

Show me a General with the guts to do that now.

I read a limerick when I was about 9 years old. It said "If I was President of these United States, I'd eat up all the candy and swing on all the gates."

Dunno who wrote it, too long to remember if it was attributed to anyone, but sounds good to me!

Or - now that I think about it, maybe it's a little too close to what's actually happening. Yikes!

If Sherman's men were not men what does that make the Southern boys they whipped?

Actually if you look at the deaths more yankees were killed than Southerners. The only reason the South lost was because they were an agriculture economy. Old Brett Butler got it correct!

Old, they were all men, both sides, and put up with much more hardship then either you or I have ever thought about. Don't insult those who were such important men in our history.

I don't know about you but???????

Remember I am a Southerner but not so biased as some seem to be here.

You are a yankee CTB, you fool no one on this forum!

What is this, a revival of the Civil War thread in "History" last month?

It's time to think seriously of secession anyway. Another leftist judge has ruled Texas' definition of marriage-- one man, one woman-- is unconstitutional.

I call that treason. Congratulations.

Yea but you have no idea what the constitution even says. Your idea of treason is based on an extreme far left marxist ideology which is contrary to this country's founding and constitution.

If anything is treason it is your world view.

The far left march to a different drummer and he is not an American!

Not really but if CTB doesn't get his chain pulled once in a while he dozes off; wake up and thinks he is president!!

I always find it amazing when people on either side of the political fence throw around the word "treason."

Stalin, isn't that the hero of the American left who slaughtered from 20-40,000,000 or more people while establishing the Soviet Union, including about 10,000,000 starved in the Ukraine?

Yes, the "father figure" in what during the Olympics NBC called a "pivotal experiment."
