 Three Virginia localities had monument relocation/removal referendums on their ballot yesterday. In all three localities, the citizens sent a strong clear message that they do not want their memorials removed. Each locality voted overwhelmingly AGAINST monument removal.  In Mathews County, the mandate was a landslide 80% AGAINST removing the Confederate Memorial located at the historic courthouse there. This after a valiant and courageous effort by the Lane-Armistead Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp #1772 to inform and mobilize local citizens. In addition, Governor Northam’s pals from his monument destroying administration have all been defeated, with the Democratic candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General losing to Republicans, and Republicans have even taken back the Virginia House of Delegates with a new majority. This after Northam and Virginia’s AG Mark Herring posed for the national media gloating and bragging about destroying the magnificent Lee monument in Richmond, just weeks before Herring was up for re-election. It turns out that was a big mistake.  This piece was previously published on the Virginia Flaggers website on November 3, 2021.

Now that the defective elements who haunt Richmond have removed the magnificent Lee memorial, let's hope that the fine men and women of Virginia will hang by the neck a statue of Northam from the very spot that Lee's monument once stood. I think that I would call that a fair trade.

Good riddance, Northam. Now you’re free to set up your own BLM/ Antifa shoe shine shop. 11/15/2021 04:55:14 pm
Though I am a lifelong Tar Heel, I contacted your cowardly Governor (several times), trying to impress on him how noble Lee was and that if he is not worthy of a monument, no one is! However, if there is a push to erect a statue of the outgoing governor that will show how truly despicable he is - I’d love to send a check!

Can a couple be more ROTTEN & callous as to actually be smiling, as a statue of the finest gentleman this country ever produced is taken down?

The destruction of the Lee Monument was an ongoing aim by Northam. He allowed, along with the mayor, the defacing and continued graffiti being applied. I wish somehow the responsible parties could be forced to pay for the damages and destruction of the monument. The upcoming governor may NOT be much better. He seems to be oblivious to Virginia history and shows little regard for it. He is already aligning with the left. Leave a Reply. |
