A question for our righty pals .
Whenever you bring up Bo (the soildier caught bebtbe taliban after he wandered away from base) and how he was part of a pow swap, righties freak out.
"He's a traitor ". " we should have left him with the taliban"
Switch topic to statutes of Confederates . And the righties are rioting in the streets ! Robert Lee was the very definition of a traitor ! He was responsible for deaths of 100000's of us soldiers ! Yet he's beloved ?
Please explain .
Son, WHAT THE HELL does being conservative (Right Wing?) have anything to do with Robert E Lee or
Bowe Bergdahl? You can't even spell the name right. You are cornfused, son.
Has there ever been a time you weren't? Bergdahl was a deserter which made him a traitor to the nation. Worse, he deserted to the ENEMY. Robert E Lee was a general in a war whose side happened to lose. You are comparing Apples to Steaks to ball-peen hammers.
Nice try .
BOWE wandered off. He didn't join the taliban. Unlike Lee who was a high ranking military man who joined the enemy and killed 10's of thousands of US troops .
It is apples to steaks . Lee was 1000x worse than Bowe .

You really need to quit falling down the well
Shit for brains... The cowardly son of a bitch wanted to be part of the Taliban you stupid ass motherfucker.
Like I said you don't understand the Civil War… And you certainly do not understand lee. It was never about slavery with him it was all about states rights and duty it's a military thing you would not understand.
Lee was guilty of treason. The textbook definition! Spin the civil war all you want , you can't escape that truth .
He and his fellow traitors would've been hung in the city square if not for Lincolns desire for peace and healing .
Now I understand you're dumber than dirt, but try to follow
along.
No Confederate was a traitor because their States had seceded
from the Union.
Now we know the Yankee Congress talked out of both sides of their
mouth. They told the Confederacy that they could not secede from the
Union and at the same time, allowed the 48 western most counties of
Virginia to secede from Virginia and become the state of West Virginia.
When WV entered the Union 9 months after Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation, they entered as a "Slave State." The North no more
cared about the slaves than I do. That's why the States that had
slaves but didn't secede from the Union were allowed to keep their
slaves after Lincoln's EP. (As a matter of fact, it is written into the
EP, that they could keep theirs.
btw...Timmy Historian...Do you know who was the first high ranking Officer
in the Union Army to be captured during the Civil War. (It happened
in Texas).
Times Up...It was Col Robert E Lee. He and the rest of the garrison
were caught and kicked out of Texas. He only resigned his commission
when Virginia seceded from the Union.
And this traitor stuff was equal fluff. When American went to war with Spain
we had Negro Troops that had to pass thru the South to get to Tampa
and depart for Cuba. How did McKinley deal with that?
He got the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee to accept
a Commission in the American Army, and Brig General "Fighting Joe"
Wheeler, a General serving in the Southern Army under Bedford Forrest
was made a Major General in th American Army and placed in command
of all Cavalry units fighting in Cuba. After Cuba he was given command
in the Phillipines.
So much for Southern Traitors...huh?
I'd quit listening to Ralph Maddow and read a book or two before giving
any opinions.
