” Memorializing Jackson in a Lexington city cemetery announces to everyone that the city and its residents support Jackson and what he stood and fought for.”
Honest, I have never heard that announcement.

Actually I was directly referring to the media.
But yes, there are plenty Repubs who bend the knee (which is actually a sign of submission, athlete morons).

I saw this coming a long time ago. It started with flag burning. I always asked; "you don't like the American flag, you want to burn it, but what will you replace it with?" I never got an answer.
Now the same with erasing our history--you cannot, good bad or indifferent--by today's standards--history cannot be erased; it is what happened, truth cannot be nullified according to your whims and desires. What will you replace all those statues, monuments, names, and all else comprising the panoply of our past? No answer......

If anyone goes to visit the site they should ensure it effects tourism by spending their funds outside the city limits.

When I worked in the medical diagnostics business, I remember there being a Stonewall Jackson Hospital there. Is that next for a name change?
To: DarthVader
Sounds like a Spanish Republican.

General Jackson was born in one of the counties of Virginia which seceded from the Old Dominion to form West Virginia.

Last year they renamed Bostons Dudley Square,named after a former governor,to Nubian Square.
Why?
Because the blacks wanted it changed,thats why.

I have been there quite often. Stonewall’s Grandson is buried there, he was a USAAF colonel and killed in action over the Reich.
These people are vile beyond any accounting. But this is now a blue town. Having a noted university almost guarantees that today. This is the same town that the Trump staffer was refused service in a local so-called restaurant.
If these people have their way they will eventually through the machinations of the W&L commies force the Lee crypt to be dismantled and the remains of R E Lee, his father Light horse Harry and the rest be buried elsewhere in obscurity just as Gimo Franco was. This may come sooner than you think.

So have the Homofascists apologized yet for bowing down to Stonewall every year for roughly 50 years?

Jackson was from West Virginia, he opposed slavery, taught his seven or eight slaves to read in contravention of Virginia law (saying nobody had the right to forbid people to be able to read the bible); worked in the fields side by side with them, and hired a free black man to be his groom during the war.
Horrors.
