He knows he can count on racist whites in gerrymandered districts and only needs two states and 10,000 whites to hold on for eight years. He's doubling down on his base.

Lee could have carried on a guerilla campaign against Union occupation, but made it clear that it was time to call it quits. In that case, Lee "saved" America in the same sense that Grand Admiral Doenitz saved Germany.

What would the Heritage not Hate types do if some of the generic Unknown Soldier statues were simply relabeled as something like "In Memory of Lost Sons Of [state] Who Fell Victim To The Arrogance Of Those Responsible For Southern Aggression"

The Lee plaque should come down. Not sure how you deal with Confederate Veterans burial sites though.

I'm king of surprised at how few confederate monuments there are in Ohio and doubly surprised that almost all of them (only excepetion is the graveyard in Columbus) seem to be waaaayyyy the gently caress out in the middle of nowhere. Johnson Island for example is a tiny little 300 acre island in a particularly desolate stretch of Lake Erie coastline, it probably sees about a couple hundred tourists a year. Dover is a tiny "city" (being real generous here) of less than 13k people. The Robert E Lee plaque (which the city just announced they are going to take down as of 6pm last night) is described thusly:

quote:

If you blink while driving south on Dixie Highway just outside of Franklin, you might miss one of a handful of markers honoring the Confederacy.

....

The marker is on a rock at the corner of Hamilton Middletown Road and Dixie Highway on a city-owned easement across from Woodhill Cemetery.

That still doesn't deal with the original sin of vulgarly representing the human form through artistic expression. That is the real problem here.

my guess is that the bpd will do everything in its power to keep the groups completely cordoned off and after the demonstration is over will move in to beat up a couple of counterprotesters but ultimately not that much violence.
