A couple of weeks ago, a number of local firms were sent ITB’s (invitations to bid) for the removal of a local Confederate Memorial. Nobody replied.

Hooray for those brave enough to value our history, warts and all. This is how we learn from it. I may have been born and raised a DamnYankee, but I will always admire brave men, like Pickett’s Division, who were willing to walk, WALK! over a mile in the face of massed rifle and cannon fire in the defense of their State at Gettysburg. Just as I honor the Maine Men who held Little Round Top against three assaults, then charged the enemy with mostly empty weapons.
Exactly. Imposing the standards of today on men who lived 150 years ago is like faulting Neanderthal Man for not using social distancing in the bigger caves between Ice Ages. Letting antifa judge Thomas Jefferson is like petulant three year olds passing judgement over their baby sitter.
