It’s kind of funny. The people who fought against Lee and his army had more respect for him and his memory than people who only know of him from a history book.

How about a bipartisan bill that gets rid of Lee at West Point and changes the name of West Point to Rainbow Sunshine Town? You know, give something, get something.

You may believe that everyone holds a fixed view that will never change and that there are only those on the left and those on the right but I don’t believe either of those things.

Americans are going to realize they need heroes for inspiration - and soon.

Harvey Milk will not cut it.

They all knew each other having gone to West Point, most were friends even on the battlefield.

Destroy history so you can’t learn from it.

Destroy history so the few that do, can control you and repeat it at your detriment.

This is sowing the seeds of defeat in some future war. General Lee pretty much performed a miracle keeping such an under strength army in the fight for so long, a lot can be learned from his strategies

I believe it was 1984 that stated “He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past controls the future.”

Denigrating the enemy denigrates the victory. It’s all part of the leftist plot to discredit America. They hate the facts of the Civil War. It’s like they refuse to acknowledge we got rid of slavery and the sacrifice.

First they came for the Confederate leaders and I did nothing because I was neutered little pussy.

Then they came for Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, etc and I did nothing because I was neutered little pussy.

People should go back and look at Trump taunting the media about removing the Robert Lee statue in North Carolina.

Trump says and I’m paraphrasing:

“George Washington owned slaves, does he lose his status.”

“Thomas Jefferson was a big time slave owner.”
“What do you think of Thomas Jefferson?”
“Do you like him?”
Trump at his best and being ahead of the times.

The wokesters are just getting started with their changing of history.
Stay tuned, its going to get wild.
