The White House

A quote from John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff:

"But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand."

This was from an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fake News...errr Fox News defending confederate leaders and calling General Lee an "honorable man."

Where is there a lack of compromise?  How can you possibly compromise owning fellow human beings?  The South was not giving slavery up without a war. There was no compromise to be found.  The only solution available was to do away with slavery!

Someone needs to give this administration a comprehensive history lesson of our great country.  They all seem to be so out of touch with reality.  Mr. Kelly was proclaimed to be a steadying influence on this dysfunctional group in the White House when he was selected for his position.  Evidently not!

Surely the Civil War was over state rights, but the southern states seceded to maintain slavery as their economic means of prospering on the backs of people they owned.

I continue to be disgusted by the ignorance shown by this administration and their incendiary ways of presenting falsehoods as facts over and over and over again.
