pass the hat amongst the ones who want to move the statue...
This political madness has got to stop. I’m sick to death of this crap!!!
Liberals in charge of your money.
Charlottesville, the PC progressive College town. I’ve seen it get become the second Fairfax of Virginia over the years. Led by UVa’s Political “genius” Larry Sabato.
King Park? Sharpton Park? Jesse Jackson Park? All possible, but I am betting on Obama Park.
How about Coons Corner ?
Robert E. Lee was a great man . But he should have never ordered Genr’l Picket to take that copse of trees. J.E.B. Stewart shoulda never gone joy riding around south-central PA & he shoulda taken Little Round Top & Culp’s Hill . Things would be different now .
Don’t know about the park, but if they rename the main drag through the park, MLK Blvd, that stretch of road will have the highest crime rate in the county.
Maybe they could move it to St Louis where he designed the levies that protect the city to this day.
Maybe they could give it to West Point where he graduated at the top of his class.
Maybe they could give it to Washington and Lee University where he served after the war.
Maybe they could give it to Fredericksburg, or Chancellorsville, or the Peninsula, sites of some of his greatest victories.
Maybe they could put it on the Mexican border where he served with distinction in the Mexican war.
Maybe they put it on the surrender grounds in my hometown of Appomattox where he decided against Jefferson Davis call for guerrilla war.
Are these leftists again trying to rewrite history? Or do the Democrats want to copy the Taliban, who destroyed Buddha statues?
Or is this just part of the hysterical meltdown of leftists in this country?
Stupid is as stupid does.
My daughter just moved to Charlottesville for a job. It’s Berkeley east over there. Moonbats and snowflakes abound. She was afraid to go to work the day after the election because she knew she’d be the only one smiling.
These people are stark raving morons. Virginians died for Virginia, Lee and Jackson and these buffoons are trading their history and birthright for a filthy bowl of oatmeal.
Memphis has the same issue with Gen Forrest statue, only they have the additional issue it is a double GRAVE SITE. And must have family permission to move it. And they aren’t giving it. It’s been defaced several times by the feral blacks in Memphis with spray paint.
> As a result, Lee Park will be renamed...
SLAVERY PARK.
