I think that the Democrats should definitely boycott Congress and not show up.

This is shameful. Robert E Lee had more integrity than all of the present day Congress, not that that’s a high bar. He met a much higher standard.

Let’s see the Democrats disavow the late Senator Robert Byrd, who was a KKK member.

Benedict Arnold had more integrity than the present House.

The white Congressional Democrats need to resign their seats to prove they don’t favor white privilege.

I have always questioned Lee’s integrity. Election Day 1864 was clear evidence that the North would not be deterred and that the Confederacy had no hope of achieving any of its goals. Yet Lee continued to lead the fight even up until the day before Appomattox. The lives lost from the time of Lincoln’s reelection are the fault of Davis, Benjamin, and Lee. Those lives on both sides were wasted.

They will be coming for that Tennessee state flag next. I was born in Rockwood, TN and I love that flag.

It was constitutionally not Lee’s business to do this. More to the point was that Davis didn’t start laying the foundations for what the Boers did in the South African War. One is only defeated if one feels defeated. There are always some determined men, think Forrest, who will keep raising hell as long as they breath. These men are the real terror of the behemoth state. Such men will soon be needed again.
