I'm saying the South did exactly the same thing as did the original 13 colonies. They just did it "four score and seven years" later.
You’re too kind. I can’t say what I think on here.
BLM will soon sue to remove every Black veteran’s remains from Arlington. The costs of reburial will be paid with “reparations” dollars, of course.
Lincoln was a butcher and the war was about preserving the Constitutional principles and states rights. F you and F Northam. Do you wear black face too?
But Robert Byrd, former KKK Grand Dragon, was touted by the ‘rats as “the conscience of the Senate”. And he never groveled in apology, either. If he’d been a conservative, all the groveling in the world wouldn’t have saved him or his career (which is one reason why I wish conservatives would stop
bothering to grovel, it gains them nothing except shame before they get booted out of public life anyway).
Stuff all of them up the Governor’s @ss..................
Either Virginians and the Virginian militas defend and protect this statue or they are all f*cking cowards and will eventually die on their knees begging for the lives.
Notice the guarding of Lincoln’s memorial. Do these queefs on here who hate the south, think that northern monuments would be spared?
People should take some time to read Lee’s biography.
His record at West Point
His service in the Mexican American war
His character and experience which caused him to be offered the leadership of the Union and Confederate armies
The importance of states rights in 1860 thought
His instructions to his troops at Appomattox
His friendship with Grant
His service as President of Washington College
His efforts at reconciliation.
Then look in the mirror and see how you stand up!
A soon as “they” begin to deface Washington’s statues and monuments you’ll throw him under the bus too. You are a real douche. American Taliban.
Unbelievable that history is being rewritten to make Marse Lee, a man of utter integrity, into some criminal, while the likes of Robert Byrd are honored. Congress, and especially the Senate, do love themselves- both sides come together when we the people oppose them- it really is the people against the state
at such times.
No reason to visit Richmond anymore once they erase the history here.
The Democrats were demanding low taxes and reduced interference from the Federal government regarding the states.
All I said was that the Democrats were expunging their own history. Now you want to turn my remark into a rehash of the civil war.
If I got it wrong that the Democrats were the pro-slavery party and the Republicans were against it, say so. The rest of your argument is an exercise in straw-mannery.
Someone needs to remind Virginia EXACTLY who Robert Byrd was!!!!
Grand Master Dragon Byrd, mentor to young Joe Biden, who eulogized his teacher so well after his death.
Washington, DC to be renamed. You watch.
It’s hard to imagine people like that calling themselves FReepers.
“Someone should hang signs on all those statues...
was a
D E M O C R A T !”
NOT in any remote stretch of the imagination in terms of our understanding of the term today.
I’m actually for keeping the Civil War memorials in the South. I’m only pointing out that the Democrats are getting rid of statues of their own people. They’re the party of changing history, the party of fantasy over reality and virtue-signaling over accomplishment. By saying so, I seem to have upset some people that I thought were friends. C’est la vie.
Tell me you can’t see a parallel between the CSA and the American colonies revolting ( i.e. seceding) from GB? Are you really that dense?
