Utterly disgusting. No wonder Obama won’t fight the Taliban. He’s one of them.

We are going to disavow the history of the 19th and 20th centuries to be politically correct and to have more ammunition in the racist fight against all whites. More and more blacks will be anxious to demonstrate their hatred of whites. Hip Hop wins.

NO WORDS! Now they HAVE crossed the line ... These sycophant retards need to get the living crap kicked out of them.
They are going to desecrate a grave because the man entombed was a confederate officer? Really?
Where the hell does this sh*t stop? Only one thing will put an end to this lunacy - armed resistance against these fascists! When they are so emboldened that they seek to desecrate the graves of the dead, it is time to forcefully put them down. No quarter given, none expected.

Ghouls."
Justice will be served when the relevant ghouls on the Memphis City Council are treated in the same manner.

He was known for waging brutal warfare against federal forces in Mississippi and Tennessee.
Correction:
He was known for waging brutal warfare against the fascist forces of the genocidal Dictator and war criminal, Abraham Lincoln, in Mississippi and Tennessee.

What exact purpose does moving a grave serve ? Is the problem the city or county where they are buried ? This is nuts.

And all this for some skinny pasty-faced drug-addled loser who thought he’d shoot up a church. Amazing how the Left and its lapdog media has to use sheer hysteria to rip the fabric of the Republic just to make some sort of vague point.

Visiting Graceland has been one of those things on our bucket list. As long as the stench of political correctness permeates this city you couldn't pay me to step foot in Memphis. Speaking of Elvis why not ban his
rendition of Dixie and make every man, woman and child (and humaniods of indeterminate gender) undergo lobotomies to forget they ever heard this song?

Not so fast ... We have better weapons - and shoot with greater accuracy than the gang bangers.

NO WORDS! Now they HAVE crossed the line ... They crossed the line long before now but the destruction now is going to be irreversible for many reasons to numerous to list hear. Quite frankly, I doubt that any politician can reverse this lunacy because no matter how much popular support they may have, the lawless government will just ignore its subjects and import more illiterates to mold.
I pray a lot that God will intercede and if He sees fit, blot us out of existence. But there may be an alternative acceptable to God, a path to repentance that includes some meaningful sacrifice.
With our country being destroyed, perhaps a planned demolition would be a better alternative to the leftist transformation. There are a lot of means to do this short of violence though armed defense should never be ruled out. Is it not better that the destruction follow a path that leads to liberty instead of the police state path? I think it can be done.

If something like the footprint of a building is going to be covering the site, one could see why. But why the lackadaisical attitude about the statue. Wouldn’t it be logical to keep it near wherever the new grave location is?

I thought about that. They are really asking for it. (This has nothing to do with Christian faith. People who conjure demons are the most susceptible to demons themselves.)
Creepy stuff.

If he was a Democrat, it would be very disrespectful to prevent it.

Just wait. Castrated honkys are mostly silent about this abomination, but wait till those people start demanding we tear down any and all WW2 memorials. After all, the armed forces were segregated till, IIRC, the Battle of the Bulge when Patton incorporated Negro troops into combat roles. They aren't going to stop with the civil war memorials.

It's the kind of behavior we've come to expect from an ideology that sends its unborn to landfills throughout the country.

Banning Elvis’ version of Dixie just might be THE reason for a CWII. Them Elvis fans are series.
