As the Marxist Democrat revolution pushes forward, House Republicans have once again failed to take legislative action, and the Reconciliation Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery is scheduled for demolition no later than January 1, 2024.
An amendment to the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act was recently presented by Representative Bob Good (R-VA).
Unfortunately for defenders of the Reconciliation Memorial, Rep. Good’s addition to the defense spending bill was rejected four days ago in a late-night vote that saw 41 Republicans break away after Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R – AL), who spoke in favor of the amendment.

Progress, in terms of the New World Order, simply means “out with the hated old civilization and in with the new order.” Demolition of the old order requires elimination of everything from traditional holidays like Christmas, monuments, statuary, the Constitution (plus property rights, right to life, etc),, our history, our social mores, the traditional family, and so on.
Just correcting(erasing) history. 🤬
Not the entire country. The areas under democrat control have surrendered to marxism and are actively working to promote it. Much of the public has its head in a hole in the ground and is unable to see what is happening. The smart ones, us, will not surrender to marxism.
Just more proof that the Democrats are not interested in reconciliation, only global domination.
DemocRATs should remember that the pendulum swings the other way too.
The reconciliation memorial isn’t racist.
It’s a thorn in the side of the Democrat Party that supported AND CONTINUES to support slavery and oppression in all forms that the RNC at one time fought hard to destroy but now capitulates to.
Doesn’t matter. Most posters on this board don’t care if Southerners have a voice in regards to the War Between the States.
It used to. Now, the pendulum seems to be stuck to the left.
I’d say no surrender, but the fight is on and the time is short ... so we’ll soon see.
Here's a link to good article from the Discovery Institute (original at Townhall) on the Reconciliation Monument from January this year:
Why Preserve the Reconciliation Monument in Arlington Cemetery?Here are a couple of key paragraphs...
President McKinley, a Union army veteran, recognized this healing that made the military exemplary. He told the nation, “Sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other… The Union is once more the common altar of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sacrifice.”Rather ironic that McKinley said "Sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other." Today, the "sectional feeling" is no longer defined by geography, but by the enormous philosophical divide between the communists and us freedom-loving, patriotic Americans. There is certainly no "love we bear for each other" any more. We are going to need a new Reconciliation Monument if we can ever get along again.In June 1900, McKinley supported a bill to establish a Confederate section in Arlington Cemetery. That resulted in the reintering of some 260 Confederate bodies from various burial places to a designated section of Arlington Cemetery. A few years later, Secretary of War William Taft received a request for erecting a monument in that Confederate burial area—Section 16. In 1906 it was granted.
Moses Ezekiel, a world-renowned American sculptor, the first Jewish cadet at Virginia Military Institute who served in Confederate army in the Civil War, was chosen to create the monument that would capture the fullness of the spirit of reconciliation, serve as memorial to the hundreds of dead Confederates buried in Section 16, and be recognized as a prominent “Peace Monument,” commemorating the reunification of the North and South.
In 1912, then President Taft, presided over the cornerstone dedication ceremony, describing what was to follow as “a beautiful monument to the heroic dead of the South,” calling the ceremony “a benediction of all true Americans.”
I want our old, good, loving, forgiving, reconciled, strong country back.
And the Marxist Democrat Taliban have desecrated and destroyed the grave of that racist, slave holding horse, Traveller:

Hope the link works. If it does not, maybe someone with tech savvy can, since the link is in the Gateway article.
The 41 republicans who abandoned our history.
The only reason to remove it is if the government no longer believes in the meaning behind it. The way they demonize decent MAGA people is telling. They plan to eliminate us. I’ll be taking a couple of them with me if it comes to it.
No it doesn’t swing both ways!
Tell me the last time it swung hard back conservative’s way?
The best these cuck republitards ever do, is hold the line.
They never push back into our old territory!
This memorial in most all the links I could find do not refer it as the Reconciliation Memorial. It is almost always referred to as the Confederate Memorial.
This history of it tells maybe why that is:

I think it is stupid to tear it down, teaches nothing but hate, and I think all soldiers killed in wars deserve a place for visitors to mourn them. They die for the causes their political leaders devise, and it is mostly from loyalty to those whom they belong, more than political causes, that they fight.
It is not a pendulum, it’s a one-way ratchet.
Try leaving tire marks on your local BLM “mural” on the street and see what happens to you.
This was a good article regarding the history surrounding the monument
