Oh, you so have to love the agents of "tolerance and diversity." When George Allen issued Confederate History Month proclamations, he received death threats, and had to have his appearance at a school canceled once because of a bomb threat.

If we don't stand up to these people, they'll slowly succeed in eliminating any mention of the Confederacy in anything but the most negative, slanted, and untrue ways.

Mostly negative, slanted, and untrue ways are about the only way they mention it now!

You are certainly right. And you need to be aware, also, as a general proposition, how important it is to any people that they honor their heritage. Most people are not that involved in intellectual, philosophic ruminations. It is a sense of being part of a continuing culture, of lines of descent and enduring family values, that keep societies viable from generation to generation. The attack on your Virginia heritage is an attack on the very nature of your society, as a cohesive society, with purpose and continuity.

And if Virginia, which has been so important to the enduring values of Americans in general, loses her way, we are all the losers. Please continue to hold your heads high, and do not listen to the crack-pots who would besmirch the honor of your forebears.
