cheap sophomoric move there, lebell.
i would have expected better.
this is clearly going nowhere, is no longer interesting and really is pushing at the many many reasons i have been becoming alienated from this forum.
all this and you refuse to admit that the source of all of this is your repellent, unthought-out post from earlier, the one that equates critique of the Heroic Founders with self-loathing.
in case you really do have trouble distinguishing 17 from 18, i'll quote it here for you:

It seems to me that if anyone is "whitewashing", it's this group.
History is what it is.
Most if not all wealthy Southern landowners held slaves, as has been pointed out numerous times.
European countries ruthlessly exploited the "new world" territories discovered even as many of the indiginous tribes exhibited their own forms of brutality, such as human sacrifice.
Do we stop admiring Jefferson or Columbus or the Native Americans because of it?
Of course not.
But many on the left insist we do (except it is ok to admire the indians because they aren't white).
Seriously, I am tired of this freudian exercise in self loathing.
