Since when does a liberal know anything about history?

Meanwhile the statue to Henry Wirz, commander of Andersonville POW camp during the Civil War remains untouched. He was hanged for the atrocities he allowed to take place there. I visited Andersonville and it’s a haunting place.

My wife’s great grandfather survived Andersonville.

But we aren’t clamoring for removal of Wirtz’s monument, or anything else CSA related.

I looked for the corresponding AJC blog post, but could not find it. The Breitbart “link” to the blog was not a clickable link.

In a way you can't blame him and in a way you can blame him. He had no real supplies, couldn't even feed his own people many of whom died of the same illnesses that the POW's did but on the other hand he acerbated the problems. I saw that small obelisk in the center of town with his name on it.

I wound up buying the last POW/MIA T-shirt they had at the time. The museum was haunting as well.

I think owner’s of Volkswagens should be drawn and quartered.
Their cars burned in effigy.

Let’s add Porsche, and Audi owners..

Oh, oh, the sorrows..

Well now there’s a start. I was pointing out the inconsistencies of liberal who were tearing down Confederate monuments so I thought I’d mention one other.

You’re kidding, right?
It’s all about social justice!

Hitler - Volkswagen.. Uh, duh...!!!

Oh, I forgot to add Henry Ford.
He was Hitler’s pen pal.

You want to talk about atrocities, look up Camp Douglas, just outside of Chicago.

What happened there had the blessings of Sec of War Stanton.
In a land of plenty untouched by war Confederate prisoners were starved.
Prisoners forced to “ride the wooden horse”, they had to sit astride a 2×4 ten feet off the ground with buckets of sand or stone tied to their feet for hours. If they fell off before they were taken down they were shot or bayoneted.
Men hung by their thumbs for the slightest infraction.

The bodies of the dead were sold to local medical schools until the doctors became so incensed by the conditions at the camp they refused to take bodies from there.
When one prominent doctor attempted to improve conditions he and his wife were arrested and held in prison.

Camp Douglas was where evil resided from 1861-1865.

>>>where one woman died after being deliberately hit by a car<<<

Was there a Trial, presentation of Factual Evidence and a Verdict that I missed?

"in response to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday where one woman died after being deliberately hit by a car"

So, even Breitbart is joining in with the propagation of the Leftist agenda.

As far as I've heard the police haven't yet jumped to the deliberate conclusion.
