It might end when the GOP stops surrendering, it would at least slow down.
The media is blanketing the4 news with this cr*p - wake up, folks.
Look through the smoke screen and watch what the other hand is doing - for one, keeping the continuing revelations of the Clinton’s malfeasance out of the headlines.
GEEEZE, even Freepers swallow the Kool Ade...
By posting this I “swallowed the Kool-Aid?”
The lefties destroy American history.
No changing the names of bases to kotow to people who despise and disrespect veterans and support those who want to kill both them and us. Its way past time to man up and tell the leftists to shut the hell up.
This is a target list
When I see what our republic has become, perhaps it would have been better if the South would’ve won.
When will it end? Answer may be very ugly.
We should’ve picked our own, damned cotton.
When we put the bastards on trial, then hang them.
A fair sized number of ex-confederates served in the U.S. military.
Why the U.S. government would name installations after men who took up arms against it is beyond me. Their careers should have ended at the end of a rope.
If the U.S. military had taken your view of how to end the civil war then it would have ended in a very bloody guerrilla war. There was no reason to hang honorable men like Robert E. Lee.
There is no honor in treason.
Other nations have civil wars that become centuries long grudge matches.
Not ours though.
Why?
Lincoln set the stage - Lee was treated with respect at the surrender signing, and southerners were not designated as second class citizens and marched of to re-education camps like in commie Vietnam. It was conciliatory....and a brilliant way to handle the situation. Just a thought.
What’s your point up in Maine?
I haven’t seen your moniker in years

I understand from a NOL native, that the Lee statue faces north. As a swamp Yankee, I find that delightful.
A fair number
Care to wager what percentage on usual combat bound troops are southern and white through all wars post Civil War even till today
In proportion to population no one else comes close
