Gen. Kelly is entitled to express his viewpoints and opinions about the Civil War that ended 152 years ago. Or about Gen. Lee who died 140+ years ago. The discussion is a moot point. 

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued 154 years ago. Perhaps, the Congressional Black Caucus can move into the 21st Century. "Faux" outrage over the ghosts of mid-19th Century is the bailiwick of pathetic left-wingers. 

Lee was unquestionably a brilliant general, a hero of the Mexican-American War, and cemented his legacy with the Confederacy. 152 years ago Lincoln made the decision to pardon all of the Confederate soldiers and leaders. Today's passive-aggressive leftists rage about contrived and fabricated grievances. It doesn't require a forensic psychiatrist to figure out the Left Wing and Media. Back to raging about the War of 1812? Spanish-American War? More ghosts to fear?
