I have come to hate Biden as much as I came to hate Obama. They both hate America.

Like the Taliban, the DNC/Communist party loves tearing down historical statues.

Best news I’ve heard all day. Monuments at Arlington cemetery should not be the Pentagon’s business. Those idiots should be down on the Rio Grande looking for new recruits for their WOKE “army”. How about letting the veterans decide about this Memorial. AFTERALL, IT’S OUR FRIGGIN’ CEMENTERY and those American Confederate soldiers loved America a hell of a lot more than the millies and zeros do.

Thank you God. The Monument is significant. Part of the healing between the North and the South.

Thank God.

These people don’t want a Confederate statue gone.

They want forgiveness and reconciliation gone.
Everything an endless struggle session for liberal purity.

Work had already begun to remove the bronze elements of the memorial in accordance with recommendations in the Congressionally-mandated Naming Commission’s final report to scrub Department of Defense (DOD) assets of any symbolism that could be seen to honor the Confederacy.

Insanity

It will last long enough for the left to find another "fine people on both sides" comment they can exploit.

That monument honors soldiers that died for a cause that they innocently believed in. Also, the monument shows respect for those that lost loved ones.

Number one. It’s not a “Confederate memorial. Second, the idiots who ordered the removal like it better when they can wallow around in the mud over it whilst hurling untrue accusations at all those opposed to their evil doings.

This (the removal) should never happen in a FREE country. F BLM and FJB.

I thought this monument was too commemorate both Confederate and Union soldiers equally. Why do they say “Confederate” only?

It is a monument to reconciliation between the north and the south, something of immense importance after the civil war. War. Clearly today there are those who prefer division.

Johnson’s Island, a causeway at Marblehead, OH (Lake Erie) was used as a prison camp for Confederate Officers during the war. There were several hundred prisoners held there and all died, mostly of typhoid fever, starvation and the brutal weather elements of Lake Erie. Through the years, families of the dead tried at their own expense to bring their remains back to their southern homes. They were denied. There is a memorial statue along with some tombstones which was erected by Daughters of the Confederacy . I suppose it will also be dismantled. It is a sad haunting place. It has been said these men were treated like animals

Sadly it is happening all over the US. The Cherokees recently removed the memorial honoring Stand Watie, the last Confederate General to lay down arms. The Stand Watie Memorial Highway in now just Hwy 59 and the Stand Watie Memorial Bridge is now the Honey Creek Bridge.

I went by his grave not long ago and so far they have not tried to dig him up.

Our local County Seat Confederate Statue has been damaged and removed.
