Tear Down every Statue to Arch-Traitor Confederates including at Arlington National Cemetery

The only honorable confederate at

Tearing statues down is American as apple struedel.  On July 9th 1776, the Sons of Liberty tore down a statue of King George III on The Bowling Green in New York City. The statue was turned into over 40,000 musket balls for use in the American Revolutionary War. 

Quietly, American Patriots have struck another blow against villainous enemies of the United States.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A federal judge on Tuesday allowed the Arlington National Cemetery to remove a century-old Confederate memorial one day after blocking the removal over a report that gravesites were disturbed.

At a hearing in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, U.S. District Judge Rossie Alston said he issued the temporary injunction Monday after receiving an urgent phone call from the memorial's supporters saying that gravesites adjacent to the memorial were being desecrated as contractors began work to remove the memorial.

Of course, there was a delay because disreputable rightwingers made spurious claims that graves were being desecrated.

He said he toured the site before Tuesday's hearing and saw the site being treated respectfully.  "I saw no desecration of any graves," Alston said. "The grass wasn't even disturbed."  Alston issued an 18-page opinion Tuesday evening to lift the injunction. He said the allegations that the removal efforts amounted to grave desecration "were, at best, ill-informed and, at worst, inaccurate."

Every statue of an Arch-Traitor who took up arms against the Untied States, should be torn down.  The Lost Cause historical revisionism was a continuation of the Civil War by other means.  After losing the maneuver and attrition part of the War, conservatives moved into terrorism and the subversion of government from within.  As Heather Cox Richardson wrote the South won the Civil War.

Now, tearing down the Lost Cause monuments has nothing to do with disturbing graves or desecration of actual remains.  But, then that's always been a rightwing lie.  At Camp Butler memorial in Springfield, Illinois, there is a memorial which notes that nearly 1000 confederate prisoners of war died of disease at the Camp during the war.  It was erected in December 2005, during the George W(orst Ever) Phony Global War on Terror whilst Americans were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The obelisk's inscription sure reads like all the other historical white-washing efforts, 

“In memory of the Confederate veterans who died at the Camp Butler Confederate prison camp. May they never be forgotten.”

 It seems odd to place a memorial 140 years after the incident until you realize the organizations who placed it,

The United Daughters of the Confederacy; Seven Confederate Knights Chapter 2625; Illinois Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans; Illinois Society, Military Order of the Stars & Bars; and the Order of the Southern Cross.

Also Hate America just like the Modern Republican Party.  And each of these often times gaudy memorials successfully planted was a victorious salvo in the non-stop conservative War on the United States.  But, besides hating the United States of America, Republicans also love lies.  Especially lies about the Civil War.

Nikki Halley was recently caught on the ultimate gotcha question;  What was the cause of the Civil War?  And Nikki couldn't give the absolutely correct of Slavery because that would be CRT and would infuriate the racist white men she's courting for the Presidency.

Florida Republicans introduced legislation to safeguard Confederate Monuments and Lynch any local leader or elected official who tries to bring down the noble white man.  It would also restore those statues successfully taken down.

It would be nice if the Corporate Media, in the face of Republican efforts to push The Lost Cause and literally restore Confederate Arch-Traitors into prominent positions in society, wouldn't then let the treasonous bootle-throated slap dick Republicans go on TV or submit op-eds which say 'Nuh Uh, the Dems is the Party of Slavery'  

The Confederacy was the pinnacle and ultimate expression of Conservative beliefs.  But, modern Conservatives are no longer content with just vicariously living off the glories of the Old Southern Conservatives and instead are yearning to outdo their ideological brethren.  What Republicans wish to create is a Slave State with the modern reach, surveillance, and power of the 21st century;  a dystopian NeoConfederacy.

The Southern Poverty Law Center still has a great site documenting the remaining Confederate monuments.  Right now tearing down their racist victories the Lost Cause inflicted on the United States is good but, very soon Republicans will stop relying on their disproportionate legislative and judicial power and attack the United States again.  January 6th 2021 was a prequel.
