It’s high time to rename all the Chavez streets and streets named after socialists who only wanted to subjugate the masses under their control.

I’m sick of this revisionist history crap and it’s high time we start fighting back.

I will NOT see American history black washed.

Fort Hamilton is Federal property. Ergo, this is a nonstarter. " “To honor these men who believed in the ideology of white supremacy and fought to maintain the institution of slavery constitutes a grievous insult..." "...ideology of white supremacy and fought to maintain the institution of slavery..." Typical leftist propaganda from NYC.

They don’t just want to rewrite history, they want to erase anything that is not in alignment with liberalism. Good God...

And just how much infrastructure built in the north from taxes paid by Va., N.C., S.C., and Ga. remains? 90% of that was funded by taxes on the afore mentioned states.

Let’s start there. Rip it out!!!

Lee and Jackson were Virginians.

Their motive was simple. Remove blue uniforms from Virginian soil.

Other concerns were peripheral to them.

I just sent this letter to about 40 papers and commentators.

From: Retain Mike Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2017 11:31 PM To: Rush Limbaugh (elrushbo@eibnet.us) Subject: Civil War Military Heritage

This country owes as much of its enviable martial heritage to Southern as Northern soldiers. But in subservience to popular morality, we must now banish the Confederate battle flag and those who served under it. Responding to such assertions Ulysses Grant would repeat from Appomattox, “I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse. I do not question, however, the sincerity of the great mass of those who were opposed to us”.

When Joshua Chamberlain received the Confederate surrender he said, “Before us in proud humiliation stood the embodiment of manhood: men whom neither toils and sufferings, nor the fact of death, nor disaster, nor hopelessness could bend from their resolve; standing before us now, thin, worn, and famished, but erect, and with eyes looking level into ours, waking memories that bound us together as no other bond;—was not such manhood to be welcomed back into a Union so tested and assured?”

The issues of states’ rights, secession, and slavery were resolved by the bloodiest conflict this country ever endured. Great men like Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Johnston and their soldiers ended this terrible war, that fire-eaters of both persuasions had stumbled into and could not contain.

Now similar intellectual dwarfs would rewrite this history.

Both Lee and Jackson were deeply religious men who decried slavery.

Stonewall Jackson was one of the early champions of black literacy. He didn't ask the state to do it. He did not ask for a "grant" or "funds" or a federal "po'grum". He did it on his own time with his own dime. He literally gave of himself.

“To honor these men who believed in the ideology of white supremacy and fought to maintain the institution of slavery constitutes a grievous insult to the many thousands of people in Brooklyn who are descendants of the slaves held in bondage,”

I thought people were giving Abraham Lincoln a pass these days. He was a product of his time. Yes, Abraham Lincoln intended to continue slavery, so long as his government remained in charge of it, and yes, Lincoln also believed in "white supremacy."

If they are going to bitch about those two things, they need to recognize that Lincoln is just another one of the people they need to bitch about.

The American Taliban in full display. The left and Islam are united in many common goals.

Ideology enforcement at work - erase all parts of history that don’t conform to the present-day narrative. The leftist urge to control what people think is relentless.

One fourth of my town’s streets are: South something - - -

South Main, South First, South Division, ... you get the picture.

Better rename them. Fast. DANG fast.

OH! And what is Google Maps going to do??? EEK!

I’m glad I live on West ‘xxxx’ Avenue.

But, you know, “West” is the next to go.

Myself and about half of all veterans from NYC were inducted at Fort Hamilton. There was a little sign outside the commander’s quarters indicating that it was General Lee’s home when he was post commander. They were proud of the fact.

If whites are not supreme, who is?
