Gov. Haslam says Nathan Bedford Forrest bust may not stay at Capitol

“There has only been one perfect person to walk on this earth - everyone else has fallen short. Our country was established by imperfect people who made a great country that stands for hope, opportunity, and liberty. Trying to judge past generations’ actions based on today’s values and the evolution of societies is not an exercise I am willing to do because I think it is counterproductive. It is much more productive to learn from our past and not repeat the imperfections of the past. Any attempt to erase the past only aligns society with the teaching of communism, which believes the present dominates the past. From the very beginning, the legislature has tried to follow the process and procedure in a respectful manner, and we did that today. Moving forward, the legislature will be working on revising current law to include a more significant voice of those elected.”

  2. This is a travesty to the highest order! Every of the aforementioned men had achieved a brilliance which these present nincompoops could only hope to equal in the most lofty of their dreams.

    They need killing. There, I said it. They need to be kilt and again. How dare any of these bastards think they move in any more than the most circumspect manner. Burn! Burn the bastards in their homes and in their offices!

    2. A most right and proper thrashing given to Mr. Fields. Most deservedly so, I might add. Outstanding, sir!
