I wonder if Andy knows that Stonewall Jackson broke the law in Virginia by teaching his slaves to read. Nuance is lost on politicians when they are leading a mob.
“The Left smell blood in the water, and they are in a frenzy.”
Yup, and there are scores of GOP snowflakes in government and media who think by echoing the Left the sharks will eat them last.
F*** them all.
Meanwhile in a non-descript mansion somewhere in Washington DC
a community organizer is grinning and rubbing his hands together in manical glee.
The 1st job of a community organizer is to disorganize the comunnity,
Undoubtedly, the Cuomos would have been leading NYC copperheads back in the day, lauding Lee and old Stonewall.
A fascinating man. I’ve been to his house which is now a museum. (Or was - who knows what will happen to all these museums dedicated to Confederates??!)
What the hell is wrong with you! I am a member of the Catholic Church and your type of anti-Catholic spew should be called out. I don’t like the views of Andrew Cuomo and what he is doing is nothing more than rank political gamesmanship.

See my post #39 on “Whose Side Is He On” thread.
And the statues of Hamilton, please. All of them, and Jefferson and Washington.
Eli Whitney - historians have accepted the theory that Eli Whitney's cotton gin idea came from an African slave
John James Audubon - Between 1812 and the Panic of 1819, times were good. Audubon bought land and slaves, founded a flour mill, and enjoyed his growing family.
Samuel Finley Breese Morse - In the 1850s, Morse became well known as a defender of slavery, considering it to be sanctioned by God.
Robert Fulton - purchased a young slave woman (to whom he apparently promised her freedom after six years).
Matthew Fontaine Maury - Maury thought the Amazon might serve as a "safety valve" by allowing Southern slave owners to resettle or sell their slaves there.
Joseph Henry - Henry believed that Africans and their descendants did not have the intellectual ability to live freely within the United States or the physical makeup to survive in the cooler climate of the North. He supported the colonization movement, which advocated moving the entire black population of the United States to Liberia.
Benjamin Franklin - owned and dealt in slaves.
George Washington - slave owner

William Tecumseh Sherman - Before the war, Sherman at times even expressed some sympathy with the view of Southern whites that the black race was benefiting from slavery, although he opposed breaking up slave families and advocated teaching slaves to read and write.[29] During the Civil War, Sherman declined to employ black troops in his armies.[87]
Ulysses Simpson Grant - slave owner
John Paul Jones - sailed aboard slave ships
Daniel Boone - slave owner
Jonathan Edwards - slave owner
Edgar Allan Poe - sold a slave
The 1st post quotes Lee tactfully expressing the South was not for slavery. The issue with the South was to preserve the rights of the States in the United States, as a Republic, not a Federal superstate.
When is the statue of Robert Byrd in West Virginia coming down? When is PP going to stop honoring its racist founder, Margaret Sanger?
Anyone who has a load of digested burritos and beer to get rid of should know that Andrew Cuommie-o's dad Mario is planted in St. John Cemetery.
Pay your respects, and decorate the grave freely...
They’ll be removed, to be replaced by American heroes like deblasio.
