Yep, pretty much the only thing that conservatives like about him is his conspiring with Churchill to get the US into the war all the while campaigning for his third term on the promise that “I will not send your boys to war”…

Right! They don’t bother reading either, they state their opinions based on the conspiracies they obsess about and consume on a daily basis. What’s that called again? Confirmation bias? Nevertheless their ignorance is apparent!

The War Between The States was not a civil war. Civil war is when two or more entities fight for control of the nation. The Confederate States simply wanted out of the union that bound the United States together.
This is a good read despite its length:

Man’s inhumanity to man has existed since day one. Life just ain’t fair; never was, never will be. Life is short, often brutal, and often unrewarding. When the smoke clears; regardless of how veiled our reality may be, it’s a dog eat dog world.
It’s always the inevitability of human nature when it’s us abusing them, and a hand wringing end of the world crisis when it’s them abusing us.
The term was derived from the original context denoting the new world, the Americas.
The people were never referred to as Americans.
But in your limited intelligence go with what gives a a warm wet feeling.
That’s exactly why the Constitution was written.
Not really. If you take a look at the history of the America’s, and the peoples that inhabited them who were basically isolated from the “old world” you’ll see that it’s always been. It’s not an on and off classification. The America’s, which include the associated islands, had been inhabited by native Americans for thousands of years, despite the arrogance of the exploring European.
Amerigo Vespucci (/vɛˈspuːtʃi/;[1] Italian: [ameˈriːɡo veˈsputtʃi]; March 9, 1454 – February 22, 1512) was an Italian explorer, financier, navigator, and cartographer from the Republic of Florence. Sailing for Portugal around 1501–1502, Vespucci demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies were not Asia’s eastern outskirts (as initially conjectured from Columbus’ voyages) but a separate, unexplored land mass colloquially known as the New World. In 1507, the new continent was named America after the Latin version of Vespucci’s first name.[2][3] Vespucci became a citizen of the Crown of Castile and died in Seville (1512).[4]
The naming of the Americas , or America , occurred shortly after Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the Americas in 1492. It is generally accepted that the name derives from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer, who explored the new continents in the following years.

Were Vikings Native Americans then?
Their agricultural colony, Greenland, was just a stone’s throw away and their existence in NA is a matter of record.
Celts may have been in N America one thousand years earlier.
Some Native American tribes are thought to be late comers in the continent, such as the Athabascans (including Apaches and Navajos) and those in the Pacific Northwest (the totem pole builders)
Hidden Mountain, New Mexico
The Decalogue Stone
At the base of the mountain is the Decalogue Stone in the old Phoenician/Hebrew/Samaritan script. This huge stone sits in a ravine, at the entrance to a path leading to the top of the mountain. There is a striking similarity to the Samaritan Mezzuzot in which ancient Samaritans placed stone plaques inscribed with an abridged version of the Ten Commandments at the doorways to their dwellings. The Israel Museum has two such stone plaques labeled Samaritan Mezzuzot .
The Astronomical Petroglyph
At the rim of the mountain, is a petroglyph with identifiable constellations; Ursa Minor and Ursa Major , Draco, Virgo, etc . Unique aspects of the petroglyph are a solar eclipse between Virgo and Libra (see sketch) and a circles-dot near the constellation of Draco and Lyra . Dr. Louis Winkler, an astronomer analyzed the petroglyph and stated that the two concentric circles with a dot placed at the north ecliptic pole indicated a knowledge of precession.
Dr. Winkler also analyzed the solar eclipse and stated that the depiction of the solar eclipse from Hidden Mountain , New Mexico took place on Sept. 15, 107 BCE (Gregorian) and was at 5:03 PM Local Standard Time at an elevation of 13 degrees above the horizon. Dr. Winkler’s software (Albug) shows the eclipse in Virgo near Libra . Using the Julian calendar, the eclipse is dated to Sept. 18, 107 BCE which correlates remarkably to the Hebrew calendar date of Elul 28, 3654. Elul 28 is the Hebrew month and day preceding the sacred day of Tishri I and the first day of the seventh month (Leviticus 23:24) later observed as the New Year (Rosh Hashanah). (See table of eclipse dates.)
The remarkable message depicted on a rock on the rum of Hidden Mountain shows a sophisticated understanding of astronomical data and observation of an event at an auspicious time in the year 107 BCE, which marked the eve of the day of an ancient observance of the Hebrew calendar.
I don’t think they’re around anymore, they were a flash in the pan arriving from Scandinavia for a period.
Btw, if you read the history I posted, it goes back thousands of years before anything you guys are posting… natives…NATIVE AMERICANS…
So-called Indians (or Indios in Latin America) killed off a people akin to Australian aborigines, whose descendants still exist in the tip of Chile, Tierra del Fuego.
“Native Americans” were busy killing themselves too.
I think it was in Illinois where they found a mass grave of Native Americans, 500 or so, tortured and scalped by another tribe long before whites got there.
The US Constitution and the whole US political system took some hint from the Eastern tribes who traditionally formed an alliance of sorts. (Iroquois, I think)
That’s complete BS. Either you’re completely dishonest to the core or you never went to school.
Another series of lies starting with your claims about Charlottesville.
The President said there were good people on both sides of the issue and that is completely true.
You don’t have to be a Nazi or White Nationalist to oppose the destruction and/or removal of historic statues and monuments.
Your “facts” show you are either completely uninformed, blindly accepting the narrative of the leftwing media, or utterly dishonest.
I would vote for the latter.
