I saw this in my local paper. Keep in mind that Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy, is now 60% black. Anything issue involving the "late unpleasantness" or race in general inevitably draws in groups from both sides like the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the NAACP. A city councilman (a disbarred lawyer now being tried for tax evasion) once threatened to start a riots over a painting of Robert E. Lee.
BTW, what is the opinion of lewrockwell.com among Freepers? I noticed the first article on the site is "Is 'National Review' a CIA Front?". *rolls eyes*

Lew(ser) Rockwell has actually said that segregation was GOOD for blacks.

Lew Rockwell is a wimpy, nerdy Yankee professor who thinks he can become a Hell's Angel by flying a rebel flag.

Well on the war Rockwell & Moore are about the same opinion and rant level about the U.S….. at least from the last Rockwell post I saw

I'm a descendent of Southern Plantation aristocracy and Confederate soldiers. I often find myself routing for the South when reading books or watching movies about the War of Northern Aggression.
My opinion of Lew Rockwell and his site is this.
I like the Austrian Economics stuff and the Confederate stuff. I think he is pretty smart and entertaining when he isn't raving about "heroic" Capitalist Chinese. I also like reading Gary North's articles there, too.

He is hignly esteemed by libertarians, paleo's and adherents of the Austrian school of Economics. Quite a brilliant fellow in my book.

The French actually did have a good idea once, probably the only one, although it happened more than 200 years ago. They took all the intelligentsia, the royalty, etc. to a public place and introduced them all to their nifty new invention - the guillotine.

Lew Rockwell? Often disagree with his positions, ocassionally agree.
Lew Rockwell.com?
A pretty interesting site with some decent contributors and some nut cases.
I don't mind admitting I have a bit of the conspiracy theorist in my blood, and it's good to vent once in a while.
Just my opinion.
