Confederate Monuments

 

The latest Crusade of the Progressives and other Politically Correct to remove all Confederate monuments from the face of the earth reminds me of a recent article by one Patricia Sullivan from the Washington Post concerning the Confederate statue in Alexandria, Virginia, and the Alexandria City Council’s unanimous vote to relocate it. The article also noted that others spoke with passion about the need for Alexandria to own up to its past. One assumes they were referring to Southern slavery.

No one denies that fact, for which the South is being eternally castigated and is never allowed to forget. What more is there for the South to do? Roll in the dust? Rend her garments? Wear sackcloth and ashes? Sit upon stools of everlasting repentance? Beg forgiveness from the Black Caucus and the New England Pharisees?

  1. History needs an angel or several, if honest history is to be preserved. The push of revisionist history needs stopped. Some organization needs to be formed to rescue and preserve Confederate history. These monuments need saved and preserved. A sanctuary where these heroes monuments was saved and displayed for future generations.

      I read a 'novel' years ago by Stan Clardy which may become true. :( I thought at that time, that it was preposterous as the book stated that at a future date all Confederate monuments would be confined to a field in Virginia!

      He's singing a little ways down.

      Below is a different presentation, but similar to the one he performed at one of Dixie's birthdays at Dixieland.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr7_PvRpS10
