Those TERRIBLE reminders of the Confederacy.

I was watching a documentary on the Charlottesville Situation. I am in total agreement that some of these white nationalist are morons. They are also a bunch of carpetbaggers that came from out of state to create trouble. This could have been more easily settled without their interference.

So in the documentary, I observed a black woman wailing because of the "Great Massa in the Sky" You see him everywhere you go. Oh course, there are statues of Thomas Jefferson all over the place. It's his town. There is also Peter Jefferson Blvd and Martha Jefferson Hospital.

If you go to Lexington, Virginia - You will find Robert E Lee's mortal remains, the Church he attended and the University that he started. Stonewall Jackson's gravesite is also there. Folks throw lemons at his grave.

Nevertheless, according to Federal Law, Confederate soldiers are considered American Veterans with the same status as the Union Veterans. I am sorry this woman feels uncomfortable with all the reminders of the War Between the States but I can guarantee that she would have more problems in Los Angeles or Chicago than she does in Charlottesville.

Somehow, I don't think kicking Thomas Jefferson's gravestone and burning down Monticello is going to solve anything.

Very interesting that the American Right defends the rights of Nazi/Facist/KKK marchers and the Police stood aside to let them pass, while they chanted hate-slogans........in defence of a few tons of cast metal...........Yet a few months before, Native Americans were gassed, tazed, tortured in defense of clean water, in defence of National Monuments that Trump is in the process of handing over for destruction........Talk about fiddling while Rome burns............

Excellent, Star...... for a liberal, that is.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I see, so it's true, you care more about a few tons of cast bronze than hundreds of thousands of acres of actual land and ocean ......Talk about madness.......

If 'Sparky' paid more attention to our Canadian politics, someone might just notice her dribble. She has me blocked from her blogs (& I don't really care) but I wish the heck she'd stop with her continuous nonsense bashing American political views!! She is (supposedly) after all, a Canadian (poor example at that)... she seems better at bashing individuals like you and I!!!

Apparently one of the things I can't imagine that you understand, is time travel........Could you please explain to us mortals that haven't been blessed by your great understanding, how the words I type on my computer in a past century is read in the 21st century by you and others?.......

Do you also understand the irony of your comment that I live in the past,
on a blog that is about respecting and honouring the past?

Oh that's very simple to explain... as most will agree with me who saw your remarks towards Maisie and myself on more than one occasion. Anyone living in the 21st century certainly wouldn't be making the cosmetic attacks you accused us of. Unfortunately your pea brain failed to grasp that, so you of course saw nothing wrong with it!! As an FYI and future reminder, not everyone adores her own 'natural curly grey hair' as you do! Now does that ring a bell, buttercup? lol
