This is precisely what Lincoln wanted to avoid; demonization, hate, and polarization.
but the Mexican flag flying over US soil is just fine.
When are they going to pass a law prohibiting cities and counties from being named after Catholic saints?
Libero-Taliban
There is a town in California named Manteca. Look that up. Mooshell Obama wants that one banned as well.
There are a ton of Asians in Kali. At some point some guy named Lee will be pissed that all his money won’t get his name on an elementary school.
It was an elected DEMOCRAT that stood in the school house door. It’s way past time to ban the slave party for its history of racism and murder.
mmmm...butter....
Gosh! From the heading I thought you wouldn’t be allowed to name your child Lee or have the last name of Davis. Why would that even be thought as possible unless it could have been potentially true. This country is going nuts over some of the dumbest things.
“This is precisely what Lincoln wanted to avoid; demonization, hate, and polarization.”
This is true.
They should simply hold a national referendum banning the South from the Union.
General Braxton Bragg (March 22, 1817 September 27, 1876)
Fort Bragg, California was named after General Braxton Bragg then the Commanding General of the Western Division of the United States Army and later a key commander in the forces of the Confederacy in the American Civil War. General Bragg was a very controversial figure and, believe it or not, he ended up being a railroad engineer. General Braxton Bragg Of the eight men who reached the rank of full general in the Confederate army Braxton Bragg was the most controversial. The North Carolinian West Pointer (1837) had earned a prewar reputation for strict discipline as well as a literal adherence to regulations. At one time, the story goes, he actually had a written dispute with himself while serving in the dual capacity of company commander and post quartermaster.
His pre-Civil War career was highly distinguished. After seeing action against the Seminoles, he went on to win three brevets in the Mexican War, in which his battery of "flying artillery" revolutionized, in many respects, the battlefield use of that arm. In 1856 he resigned his captaincy-he was a lieutenant colonel by brevet-in the 3rd Artillery and became a Louisiana planter. He held many posts in the Confederate Army.
So what are they going to change the name of Ft. Bragg to? Milkville?
So what are they going to do with cities and towns?
Like the town of Fort Bragg.
How many Confederate names are there in California?
Researching even as we speak.
This seems about as much of a issue as the Confederate General statues surrounding Grant's Tomb. Really, I think libs come up with this nonsense as a way to avoid talking about actual problems.
but the Mexican flag flying over US soil is just fine.
Good point..take a look at a photo of the entrance to the Tucson, Arizona airport. The Mex flag is flying and is at the same height as the US and the state flag...disgraceful.
