PHOENIX - The Confederate monument that stands at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza, just outside the Arizona state Capitol, looked a little different than it usually does Tuesday evening.

In addition to its memorializing of Arizona Confederate soldiers and its erectors, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the statue got a few new decorations.

At the top, a ribbon hung with the words, "You lost, get over it," and at the bottom, the monuments message "A nation that forgets its past has no future" had been covered with a "2nd Place," "Participant" banner.

Time to put “you lost, get over it” banners on ALL Democrat named statues, schools and monuments to socialist heroes.

Sorry but this is pretty clever.

And I agree with the other poster’s comment - This whole confederate monument issue is a democrat-made mess, and we should be reminding them of it over and over and over....

The leftist groups never accept any lost battle as a final resolution, why should anybody else?

I think the custom now is the present the non-winners with a participation trophy and just not a banner.

But then again, the definition of “Trophy” is: “a cup or other decorative object awarded as a prize for a victory or success.”

“You lost, get over it,”

Funny, I haven’t heard any Confederates screeching about this, just SJWs

We have gotten over it. You guys are the ones who get triggered, not us. Do they think people are kneeling on their prayer rugs in front of these monuments?

Amazing how the Leftwingers can be instructed to hate and carry out violence & desecration without having any reasonable justification for their destruction.

Their needs to be a Federal investigation into the enforcement negligence that facilitated the violence. Not condemning the LEOs — two died.

“Their needs to be a Federal investigation into the enforcement negligence that facilitated the violence.”

There is a federal investigation.

The Attorney General has stated that the vehicle attack in Charlottesville will be investigated as an act of terrorism.

“A nation that forgets its past has no future”

How appropriate for the times we live in.
