br> Hudson & Keyse, L.L.C. br> Painesville, Ohio /p> p> Ms. Rubin is right on the mark. We had three couples visit for a cookout this weekend. All six are anti-abortion conservatives. Four derive their positions from Catholic theology. All are very sympathetic to a Giuliani candidacy. Playing "devil's advocate," I probed why, given their views on abortion. Justification: he would appoint conservative justices! br> -- Paul /p> p> HOW IT BURNS br> Re: Iain Murray & Ivan Osorio's The War Over The War : /p>

I am absolutely ecstatic that a liberal icon like Ken Burns, and a liberal bastion like PBS are being flamed by such liberal "I am offended" groups for committing a liberal no no. Every time a liberal individual or group is skewered by their own ideology's agenda, I want to run and shout and do a little Snoopy dance of joy. I can only cry, "More, more!!!!"

Did you know that not a single Union soldier died during our American Civil War? Yep, ask Ken Burns. If you page through his book that came out at the same time as his documentary movie on that conflict, of all the pictures of dead soldiers on the battlefield, every one, 100%, are of Confederate soldiers. Similarly, every picture of brutal, vicious prisoner of war camps portrays Confederate hellholes. I can only conclude that any prisoner of war camps that may have been operated by the Union were sympathetic, humane, retreats that concentrated on winning the hearts and minds of the Rebels by supreme niceness.
