Lets be honest. Robert e lee lost. Hes a loser who lost a the most important war in American history to a drunk and this loser gets half a federal holiday, which would not be so bad if us grant had a holiday but he doesn't.


frick it. Lets give the 90-93 buffalo bills their own holiday they are losers, no person lost more president elections than Alexander Hamilton he should have his own holiday too. No one celebrates alydar coming in second in all three triple crown races. That's whayis wrong with the south u want to celebrate races. God forbid u say anything other than the loser fagot was the best general ever and you might as well be a commie, he fricking sucked there I said it, frick lee frick Virginia the south ain't rising again

I was pretty surprised when I saw that business in Arkansas had special hours because of Robert E Lee Day. I'd didn't know it existed. And now, I somehow have it as a paid holiday.

I'll celebrate by listening to blues all day, hanging out with my pitbull, and using blunt wraps instead of rolling papers.

Lee was whipping the North's arse until Sherman said frick it, and went Bin Laden on everyone's arse, burning and destroying civilian property and resources.

ETA it is weird he gets a federal holiday.

Alydar beat Affirmed in the Great American and Champagne Stakes if memory serves, and the final tally was 3-7. Did very well in the breeding shed and progeny include Easy Goer and Alysheba.

Robert E. Lee Day isn't even really recognized in Virginia anymore except by some redneck nutjobs.

Lee is still highly respected as a man in Virginia for his fierce defense of his home state. Obviously, the nature of his state's cause seriously clouds his legacy.

To be fair, anyone who has ever picked up a book knows how stacked the odds were against the man based on men and materiel. He actually did a very good job of putting the South in a position to win. He did mess up really bad at Gettysburg. He also earned admiration for the way he attempted to set an example for reintegrating the south into the Union.

Robert E Lee was a great man by all measurements.

He's somebody that should be revered today for his character, if nothing else -- which of course is impossible given our zero-sum epidemic and PC misunderstanding of history.

People should know it was the blockade and other joint economic/military moves that made it impossible for the South to win -- Lee knew this going into it which adds to his character.

GA observes Confederate Memorial Day as a state holiday but I don't think they honor any individual confederate dudes with a holiday.

Ehhh.....I don't know. He was a great general, but not even the best in that war.
