I am getting very tired of people with little or no knowledge of our past telling the rest of us that we should learn our history. The only comparison between 9/11 and the Confederacy, between the men who attacked us on that day in 2001 and the Civil War generals, is that they all wanted to destroy the United States.

Perhaps our “learned” governor and his buddy in the White House would like to go to Germany and gaze adoringly at the statues of Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, and Goering — if they can find any.
