General Kelly Unhinged

[Tecumsehsbones]

General Kelly has spoken out on the Civil War. Here are his comments, annotated.

“I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man,” Kelly told Ingraham.

Well, except for that whole "treason" thing.

“He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first back in those days."

It was? Near as I can tell, the definition of treason has been in the Constitution since 1787.

"Now it’s different today. But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.”

So, if we'd let 'em keep, say, half of their slaves, everything woulda been hunky-dory?

Good to know.

You'd think a retired four-star general would know what treason is. And acts of war (like firing on Fort Sumter).

Half the slaves would have been a decent compromise

In the Trump orbit he is the voice of reason

In the Trump orbit he is the voice of treason

Fixed that fer ya.

 

[darkbeaver]

It was never about slaves.

It was a fight between an agricultural based society and an industrial one. Hating coons was just a southern pleasure

It was JOOOOOOZ!

 

[darkbeaver]

It was about banking boys and girls. Banking in all cases Trumps pedigree. Banking is a religion it could be said to be thee religion. Where do they get the money to build thier cathedrawls, praise duh lord, 73.5% of Americans are religious nuts and give to this church untill they bleed and then a bit.

Robert e lee is back into battle with john kelly fueling the racial divide, question be how did the russians engineer this new post clinton dump tempest in a tea pot? Putin is the go to excuse for all u.s. woes of late so fingers will point toward moscow in this new 'crisis' when they should be pointing inward. Trump was to drain the swamp but seems to have become bogged down himself, hard to find good help nowadays.

Putin has just won a battle in a new form of warfare.

 

[taxslave]

The whole USA was started by people guilty of treason. Paul Revere should have been hanged.

 

[Cannuck]

Yes, treason is good

Putin has nothing to do with this particular piece of damfoolery.

Baseless accusations like this keep u.s. spinmasters really busy, how to explain how a blow hard billionaire could defeat a loveable clinton billonaire, only possiblity be an offshore meddler.
I'll await your proof sans hyperbole that I'm full of it but plz don't cite proof akin to that magic silver bullet the clinton clan swears defeated hillary, if putin can determine u.s. election outcome as cnn & dems insist he did resurrecting mr. lee to fighting form in the u.s. mind be childs' play.

Ex-Putin adviser: Putin 'believed' he elected Trump

From the link:
Facebook revealed this month that Russian actors potentially linked to the Kremlin spent $100,000 on political advertisements on the site during last year's presidential campaign.

The $100k in ad(s) that smote $millions in dem ads n' trump sez he's the worlds ace dealmaker.

Hillary Clinton blames Russian President for election defeat: 'Putin had personal vendetta against me'

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

I'm sure that whatever the Russians did leading up to the election is relevant to what happened last week. Not sure how, but y'all seem to think it is.

 

[10larry]

Very relevant, as irrefutable as the evidence that putins' keyboard gave donald the u.s. throne. Hillary and co. now have to shelve their russian conspiracy and lick internal wounds, alleged they themselves hung poor ole bernie out to dry. Why mr. kelly entered the robert lee fray is odd, he picked a really touchy subject to try and explain his compromise trumps combat platform and the media are all over him.
If as charged the kremlin has reach capable of rigging election outcome arranging a minor political squabble should be ever so easy, now the public hasta decide which is less patriotic fighting for your turf as robert e or conspiring to fulfil self service as the clinton clan?
