Maybe they can find some books to burn while they're at it.

If we are going to stop maintaining the cemeteries of sinners, there will be no more cemeteries.

There are laws governing cemeteries and these trusteeships. They probably can’t just choose to bug out.

Maybe they will dig it up, throw away the bones and head stones, and build low income housing.

I think that should be the Democrat platform in 2018.

Why don’t they renounce racist democRATs and their belief in slavery to the state.

Oh, come on. They’re DEAD! I was driving from Chattanooga home to Manchester one afternoon when the clouds came down on Lookout Mountain, and I got the heebie-jeebies so bad I had to pull over for a while. 1995, I think it was. Our next-door neighbor in Manchester had a little cannon pointed up the Duck River in case the Yanks ever came back. Nice fella, gave me a Battle of Stones River coffee mug when we moved away.

I sorry every time I see the leftist, racist, socialists gain ground in a world that is confounding otherwise good people with doublespeak and outright lies.

Shameful.

Since Chattanooga can’t change the fact it sits in a Confederate State, I suppose by their logic they need to blow the city up and have everyone move to the North.

“Maybe they can find some books to burn while they’re at it. “

Included would be “Gone with the Wind.”

What the hell is White Supremacy?

Is it any different than Black Supremacy or Muslim Supremacy?

"Our action today makes it clear that the City of Chattanooga condemns white supremacy in every way, shape and form," Berke said in the release.

Tending to a cemetery makes that clear? What the hell is this guy going on about?
