Didn't President Trump say this was going to happen? Little by little our history and culture is being whittled away.

Students want Washington and Lee removed from their diplomas

Students at the Washington & Lee University School of Law in Lexington, Virginia, are petitioning for the option to remove George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their diplomas

This is a sad day when people may see the portrait of founding father and first president George Washington as offensive.

Another point, I do not understand this eagerness to tiptoe around peoples feelings. This is the way it is, George Washington was a founding father,. If you want to graduate from a university with his name on it, his portrait will be on your diploma. Don't like it, don't go to school there.

I take offense to people finding the portrait of Robert E. Lee offensive. General Robert E. Lee was my grandfather's great grandfather on his mother's side. And besides not many people know that Robert E. Lee did not want the civil war. He only fought on the side of the south becase he loved the state of Virginia and that was the side they chose. He abhored slavery in all forms and as soon as his father in law passed and willed everything to him, he freed his slaves and kept them on to work his plantation and paid them a wage. he even allowed for them to participate in sharecropping. Where he provided the land and let them work it and share in the profits from it. But the problem is that he fought for the side that lost so his side did not get to write our history.

They don't care about the facts. There was a huge blowout in my city for a school named after Albert Sidney Johnston. He was the head of the US military for years before the Civil War and was instrumental in a number of battles related to the time between the War of 1812 and the Mormon rebellions and Indian Wars, and a host of things. It was expected that he would have taken over the Union Army for the Civil War first before Lee was then proposed. Both in turn said no and were immediate Confederate victories simply because the Union no longer had a chance at their services. The Union went through a half dozen generals in charge before the gristmill of war brought Grant to the fore. But that was Johnston's only real victory. He died from a shot leg that went untended early in his first Confederate battle. Beyond not choosing to lead the Union Army he did essentially nothing in the war. He fought loyally and effectively for the US flag and only showed up for an hour or so for the Confederacy before dying. They say that one aww-shit cancels a lot of atta-boys, but in his case that just ridiculous. But simply because he chose his homeland my city had to have a hissy fit over it and rips his name down. Cost the taxpayers a big 5 digit number to change signage and letterheads and sports equipment. Lee though stepped into his shoes and never missed a beat. But Lee paid some outrageous dues. Imagine going home after a lot war and seeing thousands of enemy dead buried in your front lawn.

Let this be a lesson for the next civil war. We had better win or else they will be spitting on our good names for centuries. Screw fair play and fight like George Washington did. Sneak across a frozen river at night to slit throats on Christmas Eve. Then maybe we'll get a couple centuries of peace before the SJW's try their revisionism again.

That is because it is much simpler to believe a lie than to actually take the time and do the research themselves. Remember, "Orange Man Bad." They believe it because they are told too, and then someone plants an idea that "hey maybe we need to be aggressive". Does that really sound like the party of tolerance and love?

This statue business has been always easy to solve. Museums exist for this very reason. It's not the statues they want gone, It's the act of tearing down of them down which is the SJW's desire. They want the vandalism for shock value. It's all about burning effigies in an attempt to capture legitimacy for their moral position.

To be a leftist is to divide the world into two groups : oppressed and their oppressors. In their simple logic, if someone has something that another doesn't they are oppressors of the oppressed. And to "take offense" is part of their strategy even when there's actually no real oppressor / oppressed situation involved. It's just another way they can wield power against those who have been rendered impotent.

A common part of cult indoctrination is to tear down the old self so it can be replaced by the new cult self. The liberal cult is doing this on a national level. Destroy our history and demonize America. That makes it a lot easier to build a new political and cultural order in its place. They will not stop with those who served the Confederacy; they will soon go after all of our founding fathers. And our flag, and everything it represents.

Liberalism is a cult of marxist, racist, America-hating, devil-worshipping bigots. If loyal Americans do not stop letting the liberal thought police bully them into silence, that cult of traitors will win its war on America. A liberal is to a patriot what a klansman is to a supporter of equal rights, so if they tear down statues we like, why are we not tearing down their icons? They are active and we are passive, often cowering before their thought police. They have the initiative and they are using it ruthlessly. And this is why America is losing this war.
