“ they seem to forget they where all slave owning DEMOCRATS. Democrats they support today”

Sorry that’s retarded. There are no living white US slave owners.

Even Germans with all their World War II shame don’t mess with graves. This is beyond pitiful.

“They’re erasing their own history because they are going to pin slavery on conservatives and Republicans.”

As far as the colonies... Look no further than the Bank of England. They financed the ships that plied the triangular trade. Then financed the colonists when the indentured numbers couldn’t meet the labor demands and the indigenous slaves had died off from disease. Cromwell and Rothschild rarely get mentioned. Neither do the arabs who opened the slaver routes down into Africa a thousand years before that.

There is never any forgiveness from leftists. They can’t even forgive someone who apologized, changed his ways and died before their grandparents were born.

My homeschooled grand kids, came and informed me how DEEP the remorse was in this Confederate General, and his death it was the largest number of negro citizens who ever came to pay homage, they knew him, and considered him to be a noble person. This is despicable. I think we need to dig up George Floyd and take him to some prison yard and bury him.

I’ve always wondered why there aren’t any protests against these things. Conservatives just sit back and take everything that is dished out. Armchair patriots, all of us.

Growing up, I always thought that America was somehow different and insulated from the episodes of political insanity which I read about in history.

Yep. America from its founding was a special place with special people. And make no mistake, by “special” I mean “better”. But in the 1960’s a rapid decline set in. I don’t know the exact date but when trannys in the girls’ locker rooms and trannys in girls sports was greeted with a collective shoulder shrug by the parents of those girls, it was then that I had to face the fact that America was no longer a special place.

Yes, they do. Now the SCV has legally exhumed the bodies and will re-inter them in an official well secured museum. IOW the SCV beat the idiotic “greenspace memphis” creation of liberal history re-writers and heritage haters.

The Taliban of AntiFA 1930’s stylebook Communists and the white run/owned BLM fundraising non-profit, whose donations are immediately fronted to the dnc through ActBlue (the blm activists apparently have been surprised to learn— more than a little late). The goal being to drive a wedge into the long healed wounds of a war by the efforts of both sides in the conflict to bind them up, and unite into the United States we know— with all of its history.

Hi.

I hope you are well.

“When will they be digging up all the Confederates buried at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia?’

Ive been there a couple of times. That would take mucho dollars and time (sans the lawsuits).

christianity holds that it is wrong to blame children for the sins of their fathers and that redemption is always possible for everyone.

communism, in practice, is at fundamental odds with christianity in these regards.

Into the legal custody of the SCV— who will re-expand the honor of his memory not subject to the public whims of the AntiFA and BLM of this day. IOW they have Failed miserably, to erase this figure of history (whose tactics are still taught in many countrie’s , including ours- military schools). His descendants gave the SCV permission to settle this, and ‘greenspace memphis’ city park acquisition Leftist nazis who pushed this history erasure agenda... LOST.

Sad part is, it’s the liberal white feminazis and white soy boys behind all this.

"I’ve always wondered why there aren’t any protests against these things."

See this excellent article in American Thinker that addresses that very issue. Unfortunately, it takes only a few percent of thoroughly committed radicals to upend society:

Leftists are a minority...so why do they keep winning?
By Robert J. Hutchinson

As Americans approach a post-COVID celebration of the Fourth of July, it's an appropriate time to consider why the most extreme elements of the far Left have been able to take control of American institutions so quickly — despite polls showing that the overwhelming majority of citizens oppose the "woke" agenda almost in its entirety.

During the Fourth of July, the root cause of this national nightmare will be on display for all to see.

I'm speaking of the backyard barbecue.

The barbecue is the hermeneutical key to understanding the gradual breakdown of western society — not just in the U.S., but also in Australia, Canada, and many other countries.

It explains why normal citizens watch helplessly as blue-haired men in dresses take control of key government departments, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, intelligence services, virtually all universities, many corporations, and much of the judicial system. It all comes down to influence.

The truth is, normal, happy, well-adjusted people don't really care about politics — or care only when they are forced to by rioting mobs of looters in their cities.

Normal people of any and all colors don't want to tell you their pronouns, chemically castrate their sons with puberty-blocking drugs, or defund the police. They're neither oppressors nor oppressed. They just want to live their lives in peace, attend their kids' soccer or baseball games, and enjoy summer afternoons grilling

Therein lies the problem: it turns out that, with a very few exceptions, the absolute worst people on the planet — the kind of people who were hall monitors in high school and enjoy creating and enforcing petty regulations on their fellows — go into politics.

These are the entitled few who believe that rules and regulations are for other people, never for themselves — the grifters, tax cheats, and adulterers who run for office instead of working for a living. These are the Bill Clintons and Gavin Newsoms of the world. Now we have scientific data to back up this commonsense intuition.

In a fascinating article on Substack, political scientist Richard Hanania provides a mountain of evidence for why, as he puts it, "everything is so liberal" — despite the fact that, statistically speaking, there are relatively few liberals and fewer still "woke" progressives.

The most basic reason is the barbecue — the fact that normal people would rather grill than protest, rather throw water balloons than Molotov cocktails.

Victor Hanson has an excellent podcast this week which covers a variety of topics his listeners have sent in. One question asked by many is "Is it over for the USA?" Hanson points out the 1960s radicals were only interested in drugs, skinny dipping, sex and spouting off about revolution, but they didn't have a real plan to take over the USA. They didn't think strategically about destroying the USA. The 2020s radicals have a plan to completely destroy the USA by packing the court, adding new states, ending the filibuster, ending the electoral college and permanently changing voting rules in violation of the constitution. He thinks that this time things are very different and our enemies are well organized with a multi-prong strategic agenda that appears to be winning.

Give a listen to VDH Q&A (skip to 41m12s).
