General Lee was prophetic after all
« on: June 12, 2017, 01:02:19 PM »
“The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.” Robert E. Lee

It is an accurate quote, and given where we are today one can read into it easily enough.

One person's view of it -

https://fredoneverything.org/general-lee-speaks-had-it-figured-out/

IMO things changed inexorably for the worse for nation, states and Liberty with the hyper-drive of full-frontal Progressive ideology begun under LBJ...it took what Wilson & FDR started to a whole new dimension and it has been largely pedal to the floor since...

We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
