The real heroes of the south were the hundreds of thousands that fought for the United States, and against slavery.
In Raqqa, PISSI is forcing civilian human shields to move the place where it plans its last stand, Russia and/or Assad are dropping cluster bombs, and the US shoots indiscriminately at every boat that heads out of Raqqa.
There has got to be a way to capture the people in boats when they don't fight back (as civilians won't).
Saboteur of Energy Perry altered a report so that it would support subsidies to power plants burning fossil fuels.
However, the honest report is still visible inside the coating of ashes.
Once in a while, the troll repeats a valid point that people aren't supposed to talk about — for instance, about the 12 US presidents that owned slaves at some time in their lives.
To demand that past heroes measure up to modern moral conclusions is anachronistic. We stand for these conclusions on the foundation of many years of further moral thinking, which those of the past did not have the benefit of. That Washington and Jefferson failed to anticipate the arguments and conclusions of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, which we know by hindsight, does not negate the good they did for fighting for an incomplete freedom.
But we should recognize that they did wrong by keeping people in slavery. We shouldn't demand perfection in our past heroes, either.
