...Well. In Madison, Wisconsin, the city council has voted overwhelmingly to remove a cemetery marker noting the names of about 140 Confederates, most of whom died in a prisoner of war camp in the town. More:
“You don’t have discussion in a cemetery. You have reflection, and you have memories, and this (monument) brings up memories that are not so pleasant in our history,” said Council Vice President Sheri Carter.
These are Americans who died as prisoners of war. “They die off like rotten sheep,” said a Union soldier who worked at the camp, where conditions were bad. The “monument” is a tombstone large enough to feature the names of each of the dead. This is not a statue of a Confederate war hero. It is simply a grave marker noting the names of POWs who died far from home.
There is no longer equality before God of the fallen, not in Madison, Wisconsin. The city council spits on these dead men, who passed away not in combat, but in Union custody.
Note: I forgot to hit the excerpt box. There is more at the linked website.
The Democrats have no shame and no decency.
In darkness dwells the people that knows its anals not.
This is sacrilege, to obliterate the inconvenient truth that the Union allowed their prisoners of war to die.
IOW, Madison would like to secede.
So let’s apply Lincoln’s logic to them. The South - now loyal to the Federal Union - should invade.
It’s only fair.
Confederate soldiers were fighting to defend their homes from invasion.
“Winston loved Big Brother”
I really hope you meant “annals’ ...but, w/that “dwells in darkness” quote, I’m not sure.
We in the South mark and care for Union graves. It would never occur to us to not respect war dead.
Disgusting - these ignorant savages (and I’m referring to the Wisconsin council) dontbeven understand WHY the POWs were memorialized in this way - not as an act of forgiveness but to understand that real people died and shed blood rather than work together.
But these ignorant swine don’t want to work together anymore.
I don't see them calming down or becoming rational and civil on their own, unless of course they get their way and silence and/or kill off all opposition to their secular religion.
This thought should be brought up anytime anyone wants to memorialize an Indian or slave burial ground.
oops.
It’s inscription above the library of antebellum history at the University of Michigan, built in an era when University of Michigan was still institution of higher learning.
I remember back in the 60s or 70s when these graves were discovered and there was a huge outpouring of love and respect for the memories of these “Americans”.
A considerable effort was expended to place headstones and remember them.
Now, the left-wing pukes, the spawn of the 60’s Protest Movement, can’t wait to use these fallen for their own vile goals of balkanizationi of our once, unified country.
May the left wing of Madison rot in Hell!
Beat me to it and said it better.
French style Revolution on the way.
The left revels in its evil.
They probably want to put up a monument to the murderous clown in Madison who bombed a university lab doing government research, killing a grad student.
When Kavanaugh is confirmed, and when the Democrat/Left fails a few weeks from now to regain power in Congress we’ll quickly see just how far the Left is prepared to go.
