The Governor has never had any slaves why apologize. Time for someone else “To get over it”

Get over it? The occasion was declaring the month “Confederate History Month.”

All of my ancestors in the Civil War tried to burn SC, NC and VA to the ground!

Frankly, I see no reason for the legislature to issue an apology in my name.

I grew up in a town where the State Capitol had one of the most magnificent collections of Confederate flags ever assembled ~ put there by the soldiers in General Ulysses S. Grants Army ~ so that the war would not be forgotten.

Alas, a Leftwingtard became Governor and he began arranging to send many of them back to SC, GA, NC, etc.

So utterly disgusting. That display was unique; it had ultimate meaning; it was sacred. As school children visiting the Capitol building, we were entitled to fondle those flags.

I want the whole history of the Confederacy taught ~ but mostly as a reminder to the Leftwingtards about what happens when you seek to impose your evil institutions (publicly financed abortion) on the rest of us.

He didn't apologize FOR slavery. He apologized for leaving a reference to it out of his proclamation.

How many of you nay-sayers are even Virginians? Do you even have a dog in this fight? Quit eating our own.
