Washington National Cathedral to remove windows honoring Confederate generals
Washington Times ^ | September 6, 2017 | Ben Wolfgang

The Washington National Cathedral on Wednesday said it will remove stained glass windows honoring Confederate generals, saying they act as “a barrier to our important work on racial justice and racial reconciliation.” In a statement, Cathedral leaders said they’ve debated for two years whether to remove the windows honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. That debate concluded Tuesday, and the Cathedral Chapter voted to remove them.

Wilson is buried there? Huh. I doubt whether the progs would do anything to harm his memory, even if it is brought to their attention that it was Wilson who thought segregation was needed to promote their white privilege.

this is all about property.

Property of thought for now
Property of action next
Property of the person after
Real property finally

The church spokesman says: "a barrier to our important work on racial justice and racial reconciliation."

Listen up you Nat Cat poofters. Your "work" is meaningless. In 1000 lifetimes your "work" will accomplish nothing, zip, zilch, nada. The only thing you are accomplishing is self-congratulatory virtue signaling as you prance about in your trick-or-treat mitre and rainbow striped chasuble.

Pray tell, how is dishonoring white history and white culture promoting "reconciliation"? Did you ask white people how they feel about your disrespecting their heroes and role models? You fools exhibit the damnable pride of the Pharisees the "I'm not like other men … I am so much better." You people are beneath contempt.

TRICK OR TREAT!

Morons with nothing better to think/worry about or do with their time. What are they going to do when they run out of meaningless, pointless gestures to make?

Yes I have posted before that the US is mentally ill and getting worse.

What ever became of rational thinking, prudent speech, and consideration of everyone’s rights?

Time to start a phone barrage and mount a legal demand for the removal of Woodrow Wilson’s body, which has NO business being buried there, on the VERY basis of the reasons given from removing General Lee and General Jackson.

Both these Generals were far more devout Scripture backed men of Christian faith than any “code purple” dyke “bishop” pushing what is left of the Anglican Communion right out their doors.

Prior to this ridiculous screed from a lightweight progressive relgionist revisionists, was a “joint worship” use of the Cathedral by islamofascist imams-— imagine, joint worship. Which, to the islamonazis, means that the real estate that is the National Cathedral is now the property of the Caliphate/Islamofascism. Great job, morons.

Insanity prevails!

Next we’ll have to remove the slave-owning George Washington from our money.

Take the widow down?
So then return the donated money, with interest, to the family of the donor.

“but it was so long ago . .. “
“We have no record . . . “
“that would not be what the donors wanted . . .”

Excuse me but #@%!%#%$%@%?

God damn this crap. This has to stop!

Meanwhile, no problem having current-day EVIL Moslems “praying” in their cathedral!

“Washington National Cathedral to remove windows honoring Confederate generals”

Church leaders vandalize church; bust out windows during American Kristallnacht.

There, fixed it.
