All Very Odd — Or Perhaps Not So — That Hinderaker Would Reach Back 160 Years, To Elevate Gen. Lee, Over Gen. Grant.

Honestly — we know — with John, “the thing ALWAYS speaks for itself.”

Res Ipsa, indeed — that he would have to quote Eisenhower, in his defense / elevation… is as telling as any other facet of his boot-licking, for the Confederate Gen. Lee.

Eisenhower, for his part, back in the early 1950s — and thus now nearly 78 years ago… would say we must understand Lee “in his historical context” (i.e., the Dred Scott decision — that African Americans were only 3/5^ths human — at all!). . . is scarcely redeeming, John.

After all, better men — like Ulysses Grant, specifically and Lincoln and others… had by 1860 figured out that Dred Scott was egregiously wrongly decided. Ulysses S. Grant then went on to lead the Union forces — essentially redefining modern field warfare. [Oh — and by the way, John — he… WON!] And he was right — on the history. Utterly the opposite of… Gen. Lee (who was universally regarded as particularly cruel — to the people — men, women and children… he personally had enslaved).

So, it is simply precious… that John has NEVER written to praise Grant — the Union victor — and moral champion — for saving the Union.

But since we know Hinderaker is a dyed in the wool racist… it is entirely… unsurprising.

Precious — but unsurprising.

Out.
