Did they stick Byrd’s head on somebody else’s body? That just doesn’t look right.

Good. They’d be coming after Washington and Jefferson next. Damned God-hating, America-hating Marxist/fascist book burners.

I just heard yesterday that the Iconoclasts of the Left have gotten approval from Annapolis to remove the statue of General Lee from the Antietam battlefield. No doubt Gettysburg will be their next target.

Hooray for one sane judge. Will TPTB appeal this?

Exactly. That’s why any Republican politician that gives them help on this issue is a fool.

Not certain about this, but I’ve heard Governor Hogan of the Peoples Republic of Maryland has approved the removal of the statue of Gen. Lee from the Antietam battlefield. Can anyone confirm?

They lose their sh*t over statues of great Generals like Lee, yet they have no problem with a giant statue of Hillarys mentor Robert “Sheets” Byrd in the nations Capital which surprise, they have a black man clean. KKK recruiter and Civil rights opponent Sen. Robert Byrd who was still serving in the Senate as late as 2010.


Important fact, there. We had a Klan leader sitting in the US Senate this decade. He was a Democrat, naturally.

There’s a Confederate Memorial in Arlington.
............................................
There’s also a section of Arlington National Cemetery that was commissioned specifically for the interment of Confederate soldiers.

Well, Robert Byrd had some issues with membership in the Klan, but he never committed treason, so there’s that

I don’t know about the nick of time. It should have been done as soon as this BS started.
I guess it’s a case of better late than never.

At least one setback for the leftist attempts at historical cleansing of everything to which they object.

Unfortunately the Republican party has plenty of such fools and several of them are to be found right here on Free Republic.

Leftist Yankees hate the South and have always hated the South and everything it has always stood for - limited government, balanced budgets, low taxes, the right to bear arms and decentralized power.

That’s something I never really appreciated until I moved to New England. My ancestors fought for the North, but I was born and raised in the Southwest, so the ongoing North/South animosity is something I missed out on almost entirely and generally believed couldn’t really still be a thing as much as people said. Unfortunately, many people in this area really do dislike Southerners (without having ever met any, of course). If they looked into their own ancestors’ pasts, they’d see some stains too, and their politics obviously sucks so they shouldn’t be grumbling about Southern politics, but they are too busy thinking themselves superior to do any of that.
