Concessions to the Confederacy... Concessions to the Soviets... Concessions to Cuba... Concessions to Iraq ... Concessions to Iran...
Wrong then, wrong today.
"Peace Democrats known as Copperheads were eager to oust Lincoln in the 1864 election in order to end the war through concessions to the Confederacy, and Lincoln's 1863 drafts were highly unpopular. Governor Curtin warned Lincoln that political sentiments were turning against the war effort"

What concessions...PUH-leez!
I think a of persons are afraid to "relay the torch" to the New America a braver New World that is more complex and more diverse. Yes, difficult to wrap one's head around, however emminent...but it just "IS". The old standard do not need apply. We need new ideas for that new world, not outdated, inflexible ideals. It's plain and simple "survival of the fittest" whomever the fittest may be, like it or not. And? What's w/the Cuban obssesion, didn't you all leave it behind to come here and search for a better life? It is what it is. There are worse things happening in the world today, and those folks are not so fortunate as to have a carte blanche into the US, they just bite the bullet. If it's still such an issue, why not attempt to fix it. Why not fight for it, be a war hero like those you really admire here in the US forces. In this case the actual sword may be mightier than the pen. So enough talking & writng aobut the "issues" in Cuba, and "do" something.
