There are only three hundred and sixty-five days in a year and some folks do not like the fact that a Confederate hero and one of the greatest generals in America's history shares a holiday on this particular day with a whoremonger and paid communist agitator. Robert E. Lee Day is still observed by two states who have not yet caved to political correctness. The whinners are not really concerned with the fact that Lee and MLK share the same holiday. Their main goal is the erasure of history and culture. It is a tactic right of the communist playbook. These same people who want R.E. Lee day abolished wanted all the monuments removed. The monuments were taken away and that wasn't enough. There will never be "enough" to pacify this bunch. Cowing down to their whims is useless and accomplishes nothing. There was a bank here in north Alabama that placed the below placard on their door last week. All it really does is state that the baml will be closed to their customers. If one could hear the local media and some of the real "hate groups" a person would think that a Ku Klux Klan or Skinhead rally was going to be held in the bank parking lot today. It is preposterous. An attorney for the $PLC urged Alabamians to "pull their money out of this bank unless you believe black people should be slaves". Below is the sign:
Personally, I don't like the idea of Robert E. Lee having to share a day with Martin Luther King and I can honestly say that sentiment has not one thing to do with race. It is evident that the majority of Americans know little about the true history of these two men. I will close with Happy Birthday General Lee.

Or, as celebrated locally here, "James Earl Ray Day."
ReplyDeleteThere will no cross burnings, lynchings or other racist activities today. I will however guarantee that there will be drive-bys, drug shootings, gang murders, etc. in the black enclaves in cities all across America.
ReplyDelete"Cowing down to their whims is useless and accomplishes nothing."
ReplyDeleteNo. It is *less* than nothing.
Accepting. Considering. Compromising. With those that call you enemy. Is betrayal. Betrayal of those that *are* your allies.
What kind of person does that?
Lee was the man who won the Mexican War. He was exec of 2nd Cav in Texas under Albert Sidney Johnston. He captured John Brown and his looney tunes.
ReplyDeleteThough I do like Dr King, he was one of many. Where's a day for Roy Wilkins, A Philip Randolph, Whitney Young, or Roy Innis. King was just the one who got shot.
Lee deserves a day a lot more than Abe Lincoln who started an unnecessary war.
and Jeff Davis was the hero of Churubusco.
DeleteThank you for the statement about A. Lincoln; more poorly educated and impressionable people need to read.
DeleteDavis was at Buena Vista. The Mississippi Rifles saved Taylor's flank and there is a great story behind it. The kicker, not in the article, is that once the Lancers were stopped in their tracks, Davis ordered the charge (yeah, the infantry charged the cavalry) and the Rifles pulled the Mexicans off their horses and dispatched them with their Bowie knives.
DeleteThe mis-education and purposeful ignorance surrounding the events pre- and post-secession are astounding.
ReplyDeleteAstounding? No. Planned? Yes. Cancel culture isn't a recent thing.

The SPLC wants everyone to be slaves not just black people.
ReplyDeleteAlways know that Arlington Cemetery was Lee's plantation but you rarely hear that. I believe the house above JFK's grave was his house.

I knew that at an early age. It's why, when I served, I told my folks that in the event of my death, I was by no means to be buried at Arlington. I didn't want my bones to lie in ground stolen from an honorable man.

Deo Vindice indeed! God does vindicate.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Robert E. Lee's birthday every year including Southern fried chicken for dinner. The masses are truly ignorant on what a gentleman and great general he was. We need every one of you to fly the flag on January 19th. Buy books from confederateshop.com for the truth. Hybo
ReplyDeleteLee did very well when he faced the clown show that was the leadership of the Union Armies pre 1864, not so well afterwards. Sort of like calling the Harlem Globetrotters the greatest basket ball team ever because of their won - loss record. Both of his invasions of the North were failures against opponents that were mediocre at best.
ReplyDeleteStill he had talent tactically, but overall was a strategic failure. In every battle but Fredricksburg, his army sustained losses they couldn't afford. All he had to do was stay on the defensive until the North got tired of the war, but he was too driven toward tactical victories that were strategic losses.
Yet another futile attempt to appease the unappeaseable. Plus a whole month of ass kissing coming up.
ReplyDeletedon't like the idea of Robert E. Lee having to share a day with Martin Luther King
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, around here he doesn't.
General Lee was a hero to the people of the South , the other was not.
ReplyDeleteWell, perhaps not to half of them.
DeleteFaggot parades in full view of children is OK, but you damned well better not have anything nice to think or say about those on the disapproved list.
ReplyDeleteSo fucking done with these people; the pushback is going to be harsh.
Remember, the last American Revolution had only about 3% active participation of the citizenry at the time..
