This lefty trend of rewriting history has got to stop,

No matter how one feels about the War Between the States, it is a part of our history. Erasing all traces of it and scrubbing it from our books is not what freedom is all about, but what tyrannies do to maintain control over their subjects.

There is a reason for it.

"He who controls the past controls the future.
He who controls the present controls the past."

-- George Orwell, "1984"

Yes. This kind of sabotage will continue. The South never gives up and it never dies. Of course, the outrage will far exceed the crime but I noticed the contractor quit. No fool, he. I do not condone this kind of action but I understand it. Some folks, including me, are fed up with this erasure of our memories and our history.

Oh, no! Do you suppose anyone is trying to do that to us?
