    Gettysburg

    I swore the oath as well. When an officer resigns his commission is he no longer obligated to that oath. In your opinion was the Officer Corp of the Continental army traitors? this is not trying to be a gotcha.

    Gettysburg

    You view their actions as treasonous because you view the country as most of us do now. Many people back then viewed their state as supreme within a group “These United States” vs. the current “The United States”. Foote recounted a story which told of a group of Yankee soldiers talking to a Reb...

    Gettysburg

    I agree with you on the concept of inherited culpability. I disagree with you that the officer was a traitor.

    Gettysburg

    I have been to couple of Civil War battlefields but not Gettysburg I hope to go some day. The bravery of men on both sides is humbling and awe inspiring. Chamberlains heroic bayonet charge off of Little Round top and Pickets ill-fated march across an open field make me realize how little I would...

    Relevant subject right now in my house as my son is beginning to explore career fields. I come from a long line of sharecroppers, textile mill workers, etc. College was pushed on me from a very early age, "Work with your brain not your back" was something I heard alot growing up. My son is more...

    In large part I do not believe that McConnell is all that popular with rank and file Republicans obviously he is with the donor class. for that matter neither is Thune, Barasso, Graham or Cornyn. I agree with you everyone is playing politics.

    That was a rather strained attempt to frame my opinion. THere has been more than one person on the forum and in the larger politic who has expressed the opinion that American citizens are not being well served by our current two parties. You jumped from that to Trump and Jan. 6th. You tried to...

    Suggesting that we upset the status quo and try to straighten our affairs sounds like I'm moving?

    There was bill before that the Senate would not take up. The bill that Trump scuttled was hot garbage.

    For the record I don't really think of Trump as a Republican at least not in the traditional sense.

    I assumed that based on previous conversations on this forum that I had not come across as a Fire-Eater. ;)

    Do not conflate upsetting the apple cart with burning it all down, that is not what I was inferring, and you know that.

    I am not completely sure what you are saying here? I have no problem criticizing Trump at all.

    The fact is they are all on the same team and you ain't on it. Both parties have done their best to sell us all out. Regardless if it is Chamber of Commerce republicans who sold-out middle-class manufacturing to the Chinese signing praises to the alter of free trade or Democrats who bow to the...
