Anonymous is actually leaving their Mom’s basement?
I have always assumed this was a way of reconciling with the South after the bitterness of the war. Guess the communists don't like that.
Meridian, Idaho?
Here we go, CWII:-(
It is going to be difficult for these anarchists to get to the one in Corinth, Mississippi. The police are guarding it and several citizens are positioned in buildings around it to circumvent any attempt to damage the statue. The citizens are dead serious. I don’t think the police will protect any of them that try to destroy the statue or stop those that will harm the anarchists.
Yes, it was. Madison, WI longtime Mayor, Paul Soglin, has ordered that the Confederate memorial (a small stone with plaque) be removed from the cemetery. The stone was in memorial to Confederate prisoners who died while in custody at Camp Randall (Union) during the Civil War. These men were mostly teen-aged boys. Seems ugly of him to do that, and some have questioned his right since he is just a mayor and the cemetery is Federal. In any care, the marker is GONE.
25 years after the end of the CW, there were all kinds of joint memorials and meetings and celebrations between the vets from both sides, wearing their uniforms. If these yahoos would study their history, they could see the pictures of all the old soldiers socializing peacefully.
See Reply #26. It’s already happened in Madison, Wisconsin. And those men died while in the custody of Union soldiers. Were they fed? Wounds treated? Tortured? The shame of it! Remember the outrage when the Taliban blew up Bhuddist statues? Well, how about a communist mayor-for-life removing a small, simple Confederate memorial for a bunch of teen-aged war prisoners held far from home?
