Lee: No Legend

Just a quick "hit & run" post here . . . the Liberty University seminar was excellent. Gordon Rhea, Holt Merchant, and Robert K. Krick brought particularly interesting presentations. Unfortunately, I was unable to sit in on Jeff Wert's lecture. I especially liked Krick's take on current "psycho-babble" history. Krick very masterfully dissected--and then destroyed--the politically correct, but ridiculous notion that Lee's reputation as a soldier and Christian hero was a result of "lost cause sympathies" and nostalgia created by Southerners after the war.

I think most see that silly, shallow opinion for what it is: an inability for so many moderns to identify with someone whose moral character is superior to their own and who have been thoroughly beguiled by popular culture and a morally and intellectually bankrupt educational system.

More later . . .
