No offense taken
I was merely trying to keep the thread on topic.
Would you be more specific about which post I made that would lead you to ask if I am an "snobbish a-hole?"
But yes I'm going to do my best to always have a good time whatever happens, if you aren't having a good time don't blame me.
If I am a newbie, what are you and OE, royals??
As for civil war historian, I plead no contest.:mf_surrender:
I mostly subscribed to the old spiritual number "ain't gonna study war no more."
Since you are the resident civil war historian, what is you assessment of August Belmont's involvement in that conflict??
"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe." President Abraham Lincoln.
Ya think that's what got him killed or was it some disgruntled southerner as history would have you believe, ya think the surgeons might have been just a bit more, uh shall we say 'gentle', while probing about his skull for the bullet??
ps; thanks for the therapy, no offense intended.
pps; God bless all those who remember Pearl Harbor Day each year, and especially those who were there then, we have fewer and fewer of the men and women of that generation around each year, we would all do well to listen closely to every last word they would like to say before they pass on.
