So where is our resident south bashing gang
They should be here to celebrate
There is a list on my homepage....maybe I should courtesy ping them
This really is an outrage.
This statue was no slave owner turned Confederate general but represented all the soldiers in the Confederacy who gave their lives to their home and people.
Argue the war all you want—it shouldn’t matter at such a memorial. Less then 1 percent of Confederate enlisted soldiers owned slaves. Argue their lost cause all you want, but these men were doing their duty as they saw it.
Really, reprehensible act of children in desperate need of an old-fashioned paddling.
An insult to today’s Southern people, especially to those who had an ancestor who fought in that war.
Despicable, hateful and disrespectful of the dead.
I don’t see how ANY conservative, North or South, could be in favor of this. Those who love America love her history, too, warts and all.
I’m retired and on a fixed income now, but I just gave $100 to my town’s Sons of Confederate Veterans.

“So where is our resident south bashing gang”
They are keeping their mouths shut and pondering if the Lincoln Memorial is next.
“So where is our resident south bashing gang?”
Probably helping to pull the statue down.
The taliban’s work is never done.
Please do courtesy ping them. They deserve it.
And will forward photos to you for them of the Statue of Stephen Foster (in Pittsburgh, PA) being taken down, because “there is a character in the statue that appears to be a black slave” and for “racists songwriting. The man on the statue is in overhauls has a banjo and is smiling/singing over a sheaf of either tobacco or sugarcane. His features are definitely not black, in any way.
Stephen Foster wrote tunes that were extremely non-PC in the times he wrote them. Notably “Angelina Baker” about a slave romance that was not to be— because Angelina disappears— meaning she was sold. This song was counterculture and performed in the 1850’s by the Christy Minstrels. Very un-PC. But still they tear his statue down.. in Pittsburgh.
This will not stop, until we stop it— because it is ultra communist inspired to destroy US history (under the guise of “race”) to include even Benjamin Franklin. Because of the Founders... and the need to erase all history of the Greatest Constitutional Republic ever conceived and BUILT on the lives of Patriots.
Orwell was correct— and he had commie experience in Spain.
