A group of anti-Confederate protesters aren’t happy enough with the declaration by the city of Memphis that it wants to dig up and move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest.
They want it done now.
A group surrounded a shovel Wednesday and ceremoniously removed a chunk of grass and soil.
Your opinion on the CBF is disgusting. May it proudly fly forever.
Or a couple pair of Air Jordans.
AMEN!!
AND, it's going to get a whole lot worse (and faster) as the Muslim population increases in the U.S.
LAW signed by Bill Haslam, Effective as of April 1, 2013
called the “Tennessee Heritage Protection Act”
NO military memorials can be removed
including those from the ‘War Between the States’ !

Plus they have to have family permission or Chancery Court to move the graves.
>>“We are going to bring the back hoe, the tractors and the men with the equipment to raise Bedford Forrest from the soil of Memphis,” Isaac Richmond with the “Commission on Religion and Racism” declared to awaiting TV cameras, CBS 3 reported.<<
Until they realized that would actually involve, y’know, WORK. So they opted to stand around one shovel and ceremoniously remove one clump of dirt.
That’s a fairly disgusting position to take - even for you.
Your side started it.
Outstanding!
Try hard (I know it’s almost an impossibility) not to be an imbecile. Whatever or whomever you think is “my side” there is no one that I have seen (and I’ve seen it all) that is calling for disturbing anyone’s grave.
Beyond that, even if someone did call for the relocation of a historical marker (even if it includes a grave) of a “person of note” is not the same (in any way shape or form) to some sawed-off runt like you advocating or agitating to desecrate some veteran’s grave. Why would you even contemplate such a contemptible act? Desecrate a American soldier’s grave?!
You are beneath contempt.
People working the bloody-shirt grift for political theater haven't time to read the full resume.
They don't want to read past the words "former slave trader." That fills their basket.
Lincoln wanted to expatriate about a million of them to work on the Panama Canal, and then leave them there. Of course that was about 35 years before Walter Reed showed up to break the back of yellowjack and other mosquito-borne diseases.
My own guess is that the first million would have died on their shovels, and a second million would have to be recruited, or drafted, to replace them.
A lot of those files related to exploratory negotiations with the Colombian government (New Grenada) have been gone through and filletted by Lincoln-protective busy fingers.
You still barking around the big people's shoes, little doggie?
Read your own quote for comprehension, i.e. very slowly, and see if you can find somewhere near the top of this thread, evidence (y'know, like a picture) that someone, somewhere, is proposing exactly what you say that they are not, viz., disturbing graves.
If that isn't enough help, please dig into your piggy bank and buy a clue.
Oh look, it’s cva’s dumber little brother. Show me evidence that any FReeper on this thread is advocating digging up anyone’s grave. And then STFD and STFU.
IMO The Free Republic South haters are in the same league with these ghouls.
You might live in Texas, but you dang sure ain't no Texan. You never will be either.
You’re an even more pathetic POS than I ever imagined. As far as I’ve been able to determine (so far) you are the only FINO (FReeper in name only) that actually has the gall to advocate desecrating the graves of American soldiers.
To hell with you.
I am not advocating anything, I am just saying if they start doing that dig up the dead Confederate thing, there will be retaliation.
He's also a fictional character so that'd be pretty hard to do.
