More attempt by the Dimcommies to rewrite history. And the fools in Virginia who elected this piece of excrement Northam just sit there on their lazy apathetic butts and do nothing while the little commies attempt to rewrite U.S. history more to their liking. Do they not realize this is part of the process to REPLACE them with public school indoctrinated versions of AOC and illegals, people who will reliably vote D forever?

Civil rights my ass. Lee did far more for civil rights than any tin statue they put up to replace him.

More participation trophies to spread the lie that only leftists make progress.

Lee should have told his men to disperse to the hills and fight a guerrilla war.

How many Black people would there be in the country if the US did not have slavery, I wonder. Maybe best that they did remove the statue.

The greatest American general, now on his way to becoming a non-person.

This has gone from insane to tragic.

The GOP is just as responsible. They refused to take a stand and just kept saying, “Wow, look at the Democrats taking down statues of racist Democrats!” as our heritage has been obliterated.

“ Lee should have told his men to disperse to the hills and fight a guerrilla war.”

Actually, not a bad suggestion for today, for that matter.

When does Northam declare Virginia to be illegitimate and turn it back over to the Powhatan Confederacy?

The most important thing one can say about Robert E. Lee was that he was born again Christian. He truly trusted in Jesus Christ.

He is with the Lord now, and many of those who hate him (many years after his death) won't be meeting him in heaven.

But now the hills are full of tree huggers? Best to mix in the population and strike when an opportunity arises! You know, just like the antifa and blm folks do...

Just about every African American alive today owes their very existence to slavery. Without slavery, as detestable as it was, it did bring their ancestors together to procreate. People forget that we as unique individuals are only here today because of the actions and interactions of those that came before us. If any step in that process had not of happened, someone else would be standing in our place.
