$12.3M gift to help restore Robert E. Lee's home
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — A historic plantation originally built as a monument to George Washington overlooking the nation's capital, a site that later was home to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and 63 slaves, will be restored to its historical appearance after a $12.3 million gift announced Thursday.
David Rubenstein, a billionaire history buff and co-founder of The Carlyle Group, said he is giving the National Park Foundation the funds needed for a full restoration of the historic house and grounds.

I have a hard time reading news stories anymore.

Because half-wit, non-deserving, uneducated FUCK STAINS can't keep their mouths shut.

Explain to me again why civilians deserve "Rights" they refuse to earn or even execute in a responsible fashion.
