Yeah, and entering the country illegally is a crime. Big woop.
Several years ago there were still a couple of civil war veteran’s wives receiving survivor’s pensions. I wonder if any are left?
Excellent post.
This issue will eventually wind up in the courts.
Just his fast do you think the Congress that can’t repeal Obama are will repeal this law?
Thanks , marked
It’s just such a disgrace, what they are doing.
In another note,Corker, Graham and the other RINOs should be completely ashamed of themselves for selling out the dignity of our war dead to score some cheap anti Trump points.
IThis is how ridiculous internet fables get started.
Not only veterans, but AMERICANS!
Yesterday, the “conservative” commentator Michael Medved endorsed the removal of Confederate monuments, saying that in pursuit of an evil cause—slavery—the Confederates killed more Americans than did the Nazis. He said that America was the only country in the world where monuments honoring the losers in a civil war can be found.
Ping
Because the Confederacy’s existence was never politically recognized, Andrew Johnson and Jefferson Davis never put a hand to a surrender document. The monuments recognize those who ended the war.
The bloodiest conflict our country ever endured, that resolved the issues of states’ rights, secession, and slavery, relied exclusively on military actions. These military actions were fought out to the last measure of human endurance. Great men like Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Johnston, and their soldiers resolved what should have been political issues. Monuments North and South testify to the sincerity of those few who endured the tragedy of that struggle.
Their involvement came after abolitionists and planters and their political allies failed to identify those positions outside their inflexible ideologies that would have brought peaceful agreement. Instead these fire-eating miscreants of both persuasions stumbled into the Civil War.
Now similar intellectual dwarfs would rewrite this history.
