And our schools are scared of pop tart and finger guns. Clearly one Gov supports preparing students to win while the other to surrender.

Never take info on the Net as if it came from a Burning Bush.

There is no record that General Lee ever said what is quoted above. He did say somethig slightly similar "if I owned 4000 slaves......"

What Lincoln actually said in context:
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time*saveslavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time*destroy*slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle*is*to save the Union, and is*not*either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing*any*slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing*all*the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do*not*believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do*less*whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do*more*whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

That is the same on what Lincoln said, just longer.

Don't even bring it up. I spent half a day for the last three days arguing with ATT Uverse support. I can't help it the"new" dvr box they sent me was bad out of the box.

Yea, I looked it up earlier today, but passed on having to correct people posting fake information again, because it upsets them. Im glad you did because its a huge problem. We all have internet connections, but this stuff continues to be passed on by drunk uncles all across the south. I dont get the desperate attempts to revise history.

The meme about confederate soldiers legally being US veterans was just as fake.

We all make mistakes. I didn't check my sources because it came from a source I trusted. Back to funny things
