I agree 100%.

General Robert E. Lee should be a Role Model for American youth

Grant is. Or Sherman. Or Sheridan. Meade has a temper problem.

Why should we emulate losers who stood for the enslavement of people as chattel?

Robert E. Lee didn't hate black people. You do. I don't know what lessons you learned from him, but they were all the wrong ones.

None of the Northern generals had good character. BTW, do you know where the term "hooker" came from? Now there's some trivia that most people don't know about.

It really don't mean shit at this point.

Lee lost.

That is how he should be remembered.

I hated hearing about it...it finally stopped in the later 1990's around here...

I'm sure that for Steve McGarrett the bigger loss was the end of slavery. General Lee had many great qualities that I think children should emulate, but when a racist like McGarrett starts promoting it, the idea becomes very sour indeed.

I take it you don't expect to read much about Obama in years to come, I mean, when it comes to losers and all.

It sure was, especially granting the 3/5ths sub-humans citizenship.

Those sub-humans would do what a lazy southerner wouldn't...

To some, the War of Northern Aggression is still being fought today.

You're less than 1/5 human.

Sherman and Sheridan were a couple of genocidal psychos.

If we allowed children to learn only what they want to learn, they would all be illiterate video game experts.

If we must look to the Civil War for role models then one of the best for American kids would be Joshua Chamberlain.

I would say Nathan Bedford Forrest would be another role model.

The American civil war has nothing about it to suggest a role model to any modern American. All the rich people decided to have a war for control and it just about destroyed us as a nation. From what I have read about Lee he was a fairly honorable man for his time but the future does not need men such as he to set an example. There are much more modern heroes who did not need to kill fellow Americans in their various quests for liberty and justice for all.

Not even that. McGarrett is a rightwing robot that has been pre-programmed to post shit like this for the next few months. As news cycles change he will be re-programmed to post more bullshit. It's amazing what computers can do now.
