US Grant was not in command of the Army of the Potomac when it fought at Antietam. How many other flaws are in this article?

When my son was stationed at Ft. Campbell, he was in a bar with some friends, and some of the locals, finding out that he was from Texas, began asking him" what is so great about Texas, anyway? His response - "Well, I guarantee you that no one in Texas is sitting in the bar on Saturday night wondering what is so great about Tennessee." End of discussion.

Not to worry, that bastion of the 2nd Amendment, Harry Reid, D - NV, whom the NRA endorsed, will NEVER let that treaty come to floor for a vote, just like he NEVER alowed Justice Sonia Sotomeyer a vote for Supreme Court confirmation, no, wait, he did, but he NEVER allowed Justice Elena Kagen a vote for Supreme Court confirmation, no, wait, he did. Anybody else here think the NRA is a sell out?

I remember he usually had a half smoked cigar, and would put it on the edge of the outside ashcan upon entering some establishment, then pick it up and continue smoking it on his way out.

Supporting and Defending the Constitution IS defending the Nation. And there is no "right" to serve in the military. The military DOES discriminate against lots of Americans, even those who serve. If you are too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, a convicted felon, you cannot serve. And no one was ever discharged for being homosexual - the were discharged for fraudulent enlistment; when they filled out the enlistment papers and answered NO to the "Are you homosexual" question, then were in fact found to be homosexual, they LIED on their enlistment papers and were dishonorably discharged. And if homosexuality was normal, they could reproduce and would not have to adopt children...

Chuck, lets not forget that it was "Prince" Harry Reid, Senate Majority leader, who supported and brought BOTH of these nominee's to the Senate floor for a vote. "Prince" Harry, the senator from Nevada, the one the NRA supported because "he supports your Second Amendment." Tell me, Chuck, why should I support the NRA?

Actually, the 14th Amendment says no such thing; it says "1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." How, pray tell, is someone who got here by breaking our laws, thus subject to our laws? Inquiring minds want to know.

Let them build the Mosque. When they do, y'all let me know, I'll bring a tractor trailer load of hogs up from Texas and let them loose in the damn thing. And slaughter a few, too, while they are running around inside. Hogs, not terrorists, I mean peaceful ragheads, my bad, sorry.

"McChrystal and his inner circle behaved in a manner that was stupid, arrogant and immature." Just like the President he voted for and now serves. The stupid, arrogant, and immature nut doesn't fall far from the stupid, arrogant and immature tree! How's that "hopey changey" workin for ya, General?

Except for the Ft. Sumter date, the rest is factual.

There was a reason that the Underground Railroad went all the way to Canada; because it was against the law in most Northern states for black people to live there.

Regarding the 13th Amendment; the former Confederate States were not allowed back in the Union until AFTER they ratified it. So the 13th Amendment to the Constitution is unConstitutional.

In reading Alexis de Tocqueville's books on American which he wrote during his visits, he notes that the slaves in the South were treated much better, with better food and better living conditions than the factory workers of the North.

I hope I don't sound like I'm endorsing slavery, I'm not. I think it would...
