Every few years lately the leftists have to dig up the corpse of the Confederacy and bravely swat away at it for a while. It might be because they’re emboldened and thinking they can get away with anything. Probably more like an indication that they’re scared and fresh out of ideas on matters of substance.
I actually didn’t know that these posts were named after Confederate officers. Apparently most of them were started during the WW1 and WW2 buildups. The powers that be in the states where they were located were consulted about the names. The Civil War and aftermath were still vivid, sore memories for the South back in those days, and the gov’t mainly wanted people fired up and on-board with the war efforts. It’s an odd result, but I get it.
I’m not sure why Trump chose to dig in his heels so fiercely on this, but I’m not too concerned about it. He could have said he thought it was a waste of time, but he’d leave it up to the Army, Congress, and the states where the posts are located. The Confederacy was defeated 155 years ago. There were a few Southerners around who were still choked up about the Civil War when I was young, but they have to be a rare breed by now, don’t they? You don’t have to join in on every pie fight you’re invited to.
It’s about erasing our history.
I am grateful President Trump is standing firm.
Not ONE of our elected or appointed stood for the Constitution on Usurpation Day.
They swore in an ineligible usurper they KNEW was not a natural born citizen.
The riots today are a direct result of the usurpation and eight years of a foreigner enemy agent in the White House.
The founders knew what they were doing.
