If you want to see what the future of Jacksonville will look like head to Costco on a saturday. As more and more folks move here that are completely unmoored to local history this liberal fascism will only get worse.
I’m in northern St. Johns. The whole area is exploding. New subdivisions everywhere. Going to be an unreal commute in a few years.
Hardly anyone in Charlottsville wants them removed. All the city council is from another state. They took a poll and it was 80 or 90% in Charlottsville did Not want them removed. I doubt that ‘ll be removed in Charlottsville. People are planning to run for city council next time around. 2 of those who voted to remove them are not going to run again. Hopefully the Jacksonville city council are from Florida or the south.
I think many of them must be cowed-its an echo chamber out there on this issue and the schools are training up future globalists. Coming through Tampa FL on a major freeway WAAAAY UP HIGH is the confederate flag waving proudly on somebody’s private property. These monuments need more prominent exposure now more than ever. The message should be You Will Never Erase Our History.
Unfortunately, the Stormfront crowd with their silly Nazi shields and banners seem to be the only ones showing up to defend these old statues.
The focus should be for the Confederate historical societies to figure out a way to peacefully obtain the statues away from cities ruled by thugs peacefully and then placed in high hills in the outback.
Name one.
When they get rid of the Confederate Monuments and flags, using the same arguments , they will go after the Stars and Stripes and monuments honoring the Founding Fathers.
Actually only half the people who died were fighting to save the union/destroy slavery. The other half were fighting to destroy the union/save slavery.
Lincoln was no King, he was the duly elected President of the United States of America.
So where in the US Constitution does it give the duly elected President the power to suspend Habeas Corpus? Where did it give him the power to arrest legislators?
These are the powers of a King, not a President.
Most of the men fighting didn't give a d@mn about Slavery. The men of the South were fighting because their homeland was being invaded. Many of the men of the North were fighting because they were forced to do so. (Unless they had $300.00 to buy their freedom)
They cannot comprehend that for some reason, Maybe Mental Block or never have studied it.
They are taught that the forces of good triumphed over the forces of evil. That is all they are taught.
They aren't taught that Lincoln supported the Corwin Amendment, or that he had sent a war fleet to Charleston with orders to attack the Confederates around Fort Sumter.
They don't teach things that make the winners look bad.
Yep. I'm up by the airport, Oceanway area. Same deal. I bought a home at just the perfect time. Wish I bought two of them to rent one to military. Seems each week a new subdivision is plotted out and they're selling every last house they build. GPS can't keep track of all the new roads.
I always figured I'd move back to Denver where I was born and raised after I retired from the Navy. Then I did the math and realized there's no way I can afford to live in Colorado again. So I became a Jacksonville transplant. It's not bad once you get used to the hot summers. I like it here. It's as good a place as any to raise a family, as long as I stay outta the 'hood.
I did not realize this until a few years ago, and was shocked of the amount of hate over it by people. Always knew a bit of conflict but some is pure hatred.
A lot of people feel that they need a bogeyman to hate. It's easier to blame someone for your troubles than to work yourself out of them.
The story will be told by what they want to put in place of these historical monuments & if the ACLU is involved,I shudder to think what that might be.
What happens when there is a demand to tear down or move statues and memorials in the North that honor Union army officers?
Many of these guys headed West after the Civil War to fight and kill the Indians.
Wait until the snowflakes figure this out.
