They’ll never be put in museums. Do you think that BLM will allow a statue of Jackson or any other Confederate to be put in a museum? I’m surprised they already haven’t burned down the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond.
I’m done. I don’t care who it offends or the optics or anything else. We cannot yield one more inch to these people. No more compromise and no more “healing.” We’ve been telling you for decades that after they came for the statues of those men so many blithely call “traitors,” they’d come for yours next. And here we are. Not even the Sainted Abraham Lincoln is safe.
By failing to defend statues and monuments to the Confederacy and to people like Jackson and Davis, the door has been opened for the deletion of any piece of history the mob does not like. And it shows that the history and heritage of those of us who are proud of where we came from in the South—warts and all—mean nothing to our alleged elected officials. We must remember that.

I am with you, I will use all means necessary to defend any monument in my 20 mile radius.
There was a protest at a sign on private property that has stood for 55 years or more. An Uncle Sam sign where actual Conservative words are placed on I-5. Aunt Teefa was rumored to be coming for it. At the counter protest were many AR-15’s in private hands, but more importantly was the Sheriff had 4 snipers with spotters in camo set up “just in case”. Aunt Teefa stayed away. Of course few saw the sniping positions, but I watched them come down when the area was secured. It made me proud to know a law official was an American first, politician second.
