[Repeal 16-17]

Now we’ll have to remove any monuments to Eisenhower.

Ike grows more in my estimation with each passing year.

Eisenhower is the author of the modern civil rights era that the DemonRATs wrongfully claim and pervert.

Confederate Soldiers Are Officially U.S. Veterans

The following is copied from a post by Freeper native texan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Confederate soldiers, sailors, and Marines that fought in the Civil war were made U.S. Veterans by an act of Congress in in 1957, U.S. Public Law 85-425, Sec 410, Approved 23 May, 1958. This made all Confederate Army/ Navy/ Marine Veterans equal to U.S. Veterans.

Additionally, under U.S. Public Law 810, Approved by the 17th Congress on 26 Feb 1929 the War Department was directed to erect headstones and recognize Confederate grave sites as U.S. War dead grave sites. Just for the record the last Confederate veteran died in 1958. When you remove a Confederate statue, monument or headstone, you are in fact, removing a statue, monument or head stone of a U.S. VETERAN.

18 U.S. Code § 1369 - Destruction of veterans’ memorials

(a) Whoever, in a circumstance described in subsection (b), willfully injures or destroys, or attempts to injure or destroy, any structure, plaque, statue, or other monument on public property commemorating the service of any person or persons in the armed forces of the United States shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

(b) A circumstance described in this subsection is that—

(1) in committing the offense described in subsection (a), the defendant travels or causes another to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or uses the mail or an instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce; or

(2) the structure, plaque, statue, or other monument described in subsection (a) is located on property owned by, or under the jurisdiction of, the Federal Government.

Eisenhower’s response to Dr.Scott motivated me to read more about Gen.Robert E. Lee. And I note the Virginian General Winfield Scott was Col.Lee’s superior in the War with Mexico. And When Texas seceded -then shotly after Virginia— Gen.Winfield Scott did not resign his commission -and suggested that Lee had made the biggest mistake of his life when Lee expressed his intent. Later when Gen. Winfield Scott ran for the Presidency he was defeated. Lee lived a life of Virtue and was denied equal protection under the law for 110 years and to this day there are many willing to ignore the Law and the TRUTH to punish Gen.Robert E. Lee and the South for what?

Re: General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as I read the pages of our history.

From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee’s calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation’s wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained.

Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.

That is why... and will continue to do so!

BLM and Antifda have no such people, but are rather the very people Frued warned of whose mental sickness spreads and infects the minds of the unsick until no man or woman anymore is aware of the insanity in their midst.

They will try to smear Ike, and then everyone will be reminded it was Ike that sent the troops in to enforce desegregation of the segregated schools in Little Rock.

I liked Ike...the President of my childhood.
