Sanctuary City Mayor Trashes An AMERICAN Hero, Robert E. Lee

 A (The man) man among men.

Mayor Mike Signer—who had declared his intention to make Charlottesville, Virginia, the "capital of the resistance" to President Trump and a sanctuary city "to protect immigrants and refugees"—is refusing to protect a symbol saluting one of America's greatest men.

Yes, Robert E. Lee was a great American.

If Signer knew the first thing about human valor, he'd know that there was no man more valorous and courageous than Robert E. Lee, whose "two uncles signed the Declaration of Independence and [whose] father was a notable cavalry officer in the War for Independence."

The battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia—known as "Lee's Army"—is not to be conflated with the "Stars and Bars," which "became the official national flag of the Confederacy." According to Sons of the South, the "first official use of the 'Stars and Bars' was at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis on March 4, 1861." But because it resembled the "Stars and Stripes" flown by the Union, the "Stars and Bars" proved a liability during the Battle of Bull Run.
