"When you eliminate the black Confederate soldier, you've eliminated the history of the South." -- Robert E. Lee There's also the first comment on this story regarding the 'Bamster's first visit to Arlington National Cementary: <http://www.dailyillini.com/news/us/2009/05/25/obama-honors-black-confederate-soldiers> Honestly, why would anyone doubt for a minute that there were black soldiers that fought for the Confederacy? Lee knew that the Confederacy would lose, but fought for the honor of his home state anyway. Is it such a stretch that some black men didn't feel the same way? > > > On 10/23/10 1:36 PM, Francis Drouillard wrote: > > On Oct 23, 2010, at 10:03 AM, richardsan wrote: > > On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 11:47 AM, Francis Drouillard <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Despite protestations by secular left, this country was founded > on religious principals by religious men that understood the > importance of religion in maintaining a virtuous and moral > people, which is essential for maintaining a republic. > > lmaao > go tell it to the pope, frank. > and just why do you want to perpetrate the myth you pen? capitalism, is what > propelled the founding of this nation, not religion. > > > Refresh your knowledge of history, richardsan.
