Remember the same time Lee was repulsed at Gettysburg, the Mississippi fortress at Vicksburg surrendered to General Grant.

Cedar Grove Mansion Inn and Restaurant We stayed here a number of years ago and were surrounded by history. The original front door has a repaired hole where a cannon ball from a Union gunboat went through it. In the wall of the parlor a cannonball is still embedded after a century and a half. If you enjoy a bed and breakfast as well as history, this is one stop you should consider. TD

USS Cairo; sunken and restored "Over the years the gunboat was soon forgotten and her watery grave was slowly covered by a shroud of silt and sand. Impacted in mud, Cairo became a time capsule in which her priceless artifacts were preserved. Her whereabouts became a matter of speculation as members of the crew had died and local residents were unsure of the location."

Shame on Target and Wal Mart.
Paula Deen fans lash out against Wal-Mart
"Return all of their items and ask for refunds if they cant support Paula Deen!" read the first comment on Wal-Mart's Facebook page.
"I think it is absolutely terrible what you have done to Paula Deen," a commenter said on the Facebook page of Caesars Palace Casino.
"That chicken looks a little racist. Maybe it shouldn't be on that salad," wrote a commenter on a Food Network Facebook post about its Buffalo Chicken Salad recipe of the day.
If you care to register an opinion to these companies, here is a tip:
"Despite the outpouring of support for Deen, social media marketing consultants note that Facebook (FB) comments typically don't impact brands on their own. Negative reactions on Twitter, on the other hand, can actually do some serious damage." Emphasis added.
How to join Twitter. In case you want to comment for or against Paula Deen among other things.
Paula Deen Fans Flock to Her Cruise to Show Support "Where other Paula Deen sponsors are dropping like flies, a small travel agency in New Jersey that handles booking for the "Paula Deen Cruise" continues to stand by the embattled former Food Network personality amid popular demand."
Martha Stewart: 'I Feel Sorry For Paula Deen' "Paula Deen might be in the midst of a professional spiral - following her admission of using the N-word in the past - but she does have the support of a fellow TV lifestyle personality, one who knows her fair share about public scrutiny."
Talk about demagoguery and distortion, see the cartoons
While Caesars, the Food Network and Smithfield Foods have dropped her, at least nine companies are voicing their support for Paula Deen.
"Deen's camp earlier Wednesday sent out two releases with letters of support from some nine different partners with whom Deen does business." They are:

Disruptive Crowd at Texas Senate Session Sets Terrible Precedent
National Review Online ...."One can only imagine the outrage if an unruly mob of pro-life activists — egged on by pro-life leaders — succeeded in blocking a pro-abortion bill by shouting down the legislature.
"Regardless of one’s views on abortion, last night’s actions set a terrible precedent. Allowing an unruly crowd to effectively block a vote on a piece of legislation will only serve to encourage disruptive activity in the future. That having been said, pro-lifers should not give up hope. There is speculation that Governor Perry might call another special session of the legislature to reconsider this piece of legislation."Reports of the death of SB5 were premature Videos here.

Liberal State Bar Spends Three Years Going After Lawyer For Being Conservative Blogger
Intellectual Conservative "The liberal Arizona State Bar has spent over three years going after the editor of this website, Rachel Alexander, over her conservative political blogging, attempting to suspend her license to practice law. At one point, they broadly demanded to know everything she had ever blogged over the past five years, an obvious fishing expedition. This should be chilling to every blogger out there."If Paula Deen Is Out, Please Explain Maher and Sharpton
RealClearPolitics "If celebrity cook Paula Deen is out because of her decades-old private use of the "n" word, what about its public AND private use by MSNBC's Al Sharpton? What about HBO host Bill Maher's use of the "c" word?"
....
"Sharpton, of course, rocketed to fame by falsely accusing two white men of raping and sodomizing black teenager Tawana Brawley. A New York grand jury investigation concluded that the whole case was fraudulent and that Brawley flat-out lied to avoid punishment for staying out too late. To this day, Sharpton refuses to apologize to former Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones, one of the men Sharpton accused of rape, even after a jury found Sharpton liable for defamation."
Much more on Sharpton here. You should really know what Democrats are like today and he is one example. And remember Al Sharpton= MSNBC
....
"Maher, on more than one occasion, publicly called former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin the "c" word.
He has called her a "dumb tw-t" -- a derisive slang word for female genitalia. He has described her son Trig, who has Down syndrome, as "retarded."

Along with Snowden, how about Obama's publicizing of national security information? This administration should never have been given security clearances
Seal Team 6 and Special Ops Families File Suit Against Biden & Panetta for Releasing Classified Info
"This leak should be treated the same way the Snowden leak is treated, however it wont be because it was the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense did the leaking that outed Seal Team 6 as the heroes who killed Bin Laden putting a target on their backs resulting in the deaths of 24 American heroes.
"Four families of Navy SEAL Team 6 and special ops forces will be filing a suit in Washington, D.C federal court today over the death of their sons, whose helicopter was shot down by the Taliban on August 6, 2011 in Afghanistan. Among those who died in the crash were 16 Navy SEALs and 8 special ops servicemen, including the sons of the plaintiffs Charles Strange, Doug and Shaune Hamburger, Sidh Douangdara, and Billy and Karen Vaughn."
