Confederate Memorials Under Attack

Monday marked the 153rd anniversary of the Battle of Appomattox Court House. But the 153rd year since the end of the Civil War has witnessed an uptick in assaults on Confederate memorials nationwide.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu took down his city’s four Confederate statues in 2017, sometimes overnight — an action the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation rewarded Landrieu its 2018 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.

Florida state senators voted unanimously in January to replace a monument dedicated to Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith with a statue of civil rights activist and educator Mary McLeod Bethune. While North Carolina activists did not manage to remove University of North Carolina’s Silent Sam statue, 17 senior UNC professors threatened to destroy the statue, stating they “do not fear arrest.”

A bunch of liberal cowards!! Remember this, this is directed directly to Dan O'Hare, Torres Wize, Jake Day. The confederate flag is an innate object that carries NO hate. Its merely a symbol that is used by southern people proud of their heritage. A lot of this heritage actually helped free slaves. God is pulling the real real sheet off of those of you that have assumed this agenda And your hatred, your sin. Your ate the ones guilty of racism and those educators that have made this their teaching curriculum should be prosecuted as born here terrorist. Be careful what you wish for and the fights you think you might want to involve yourselves with. While you morons keep up this old played out agenda your Muslim terrorist brothers are inching closer and closer to their goals

The current US government does not in any way resemble the Constitutional Government established in 1776.
It also does not resemble the government of Abe Lincoln or even of Woodrow Wilson.

The past is no longer relevant to this facist government under which we labor and pay exorbitant taxes like slaves.

Maybe people like New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the local agitators James Yamakawa and Dan O'Hare need to be assassinated for being traitors. In real countries, they would be put in front of a firing squad.

Cowards! Nothing but Cowards. Replacing the statue of a hero with one of a black criminal. Sad, very sad.

Anyone who votes for a Democrat in this upcoming election is voting for the likes of that Turd James Yamakawa who is trying to destroy your white heritage. Vote Republican! All the Democrats that 6:59 AM mentioned are in this together and they want to destroy Wicomico County. Don't be stupid!
