Democrats Attempt Progress by Eating Their Own History

How can Trump, a real estate developer, who never served a day in the military, and I, a high-tech nerd, who also never served, get this, but General Petraeus, along with so many others who should know better, not get it?

Civil rights aren't defended by putting your history down the memory hole! The Democrats, over the last 55 years, have proved that, at great personal cost to millions, of their minority wards, especially. A free man does not require victim status! And a kept man is not a free man.

My smattering of knowledge of history is enough to know that we (The United States, especially the victorious Union) chose to respect the equal rights of those who had been the defeated Confederacy, and not establish a policy of rubbing their noses in it, then, or now, like a lot of vicious, malicious, gossiping old hens, squawking "traitors! Traitors! Traitors!"

It's disgusting. The more so because leftism-ridden Democrats are leading the charge, like some deranged spirit of Col. Nathan Bedford Forrest, arriving first, with the most, in an attack on their own rear.
