Who “ owns” those cemeteries anyway?
Sems like we need a lot of 99 year leases at $1 a year to private owners and designation as museums or national historic sites
No trespassing, snowflakes

Did Lee support the Confederacy before Virgina was invaded?

The point in placing those memorials up was to signify the restoration of the union and and are harboring no resentment. They were intended to signify forgiveness as we’ve set our differences aside and we’re together again working as one nation.

Because of Soglin’s retaliation There may be memorials to fallen Wisconsinites in southern towns which could get the same treatment.

Is there no lawyer on our side who can get an injunction?

Who is the Mayor to decide these things on his own?

Like all Commies they do what the hell they want unless they are stopped.

I agree ... if there is a section of the cemetery dedicated to Confederate soldiers, that area is protected under federal law. The mayor of a single given city wouldn’t have authority to do what he’s already done.

So.... when will they be starting a drive to rename the city??

People who wish to deny history desire to repeat it.

They came for the Confederate monuments and I said nothing.

What will be next? War memorials honoring our fallen troops because those monuments glorify war?

The latest frenzy. I seriously wonder if these people have any gray thinking material, or if they just get carried up in the fad of the day.

Yup, they do dare. Because no one is physically stopping them or confronting them.

Which is why they will continue to attack until there is an explosion...and there will be because these are raining animals.

Ok, this is getting frightening. It is time for TRUMP to get this communist movement stopped right now. These statues are of National interest and I believe the argument can be made that they are federally owned. Trump needs to step up, do an executive order and start locking these people up.

Some probably did, but they chose to live with the monuments the other side put up because peace for the survivors was more important.

RE Owns:

I’m not sure, as most folks probably don’t know either. Which means it’s a knowledge vacuum, as in any vacuum, someone steps in does the audacious, and no one stops them because they “assume” that the authority to do so is there.

“One Confederate monument is gone and another is slated to be taken down at Forest Hill Cemetery after Madison Mayor Paul Soglin ordered their removal.”

There are many stories of veterans returning from Vietnam being spit on by liberals. Of course, every liberal denies this ever happened.

Now liberals are happy to go on record as spitting on the graves of American POW’s buried in their communities.

And liberals openly weep at the prospect that federal tax dollars will be denied to those who want to place Christian symbols in containers of urine for public display.

If you are thinking of putting a load of bird shot in some liberals buttocks . . . don't do it. It would be inappropriate.

Yes. As soon as Virginia seceded from the union, he resigned his commission in the union army and took a commission in the CSA Army.
