If they were tearing down a Nathan Bedford Forrest statue, they'd have a cause. RE Lee was a good man doing what we may one day be forced to- standing for state's rights against what he felt was a misled government. In the meantime a VI Lenin statue still stands in Seattle- a man who was responsible for more deaths and virtual slavery than Lee ever saw. And no one says anything about it. And the reason why is, the Confederacy and slavery was a Democrat mistake, and they want to erase it, where they still can fool people into thinking Lenin was a leftist "hero." And because she had her best intentions warped by these ideologues, she's dead. Long and short of it.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-18102263243383475572017-08-17T10:48:14.622-04:002017-08-17T10:48:14.622-04:00I truly believe that while we have the second amen...I truly believe that while we have the second amendment, the KKK and Nazi groups should NOT be allowed to have their protests at all. They make it clear what they stand for and what they stand for is not right or barely human. Those are my thoughts.

I think you know that I...Very powerful post, Chris. I think you know that I am, or I guess maybe I was, a political junkie. I watched FNC as I got ready or work, listened to my local AM guys in the mornings, and Rush in the afternoons. Not their entire show, but good chunks of each. I also used to watch Bill, but well, we know what happened with him. Over the last year though, I stopped. Maybe even longer than that. I can't take the venom and ugliness on both sides. I feel like the neutral ground that had been there, slim as it was, eroded away. The nation became one filled with right-fighters, and rarely does anyone want to sit quietly, respectfully and listen to each other. It's so sad to see the decline and what that decline has ultimately led to: people getting hurt and killed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-50156228693003881622017-08-15T22:26:34.511-04:002017-08-15T22:26:34.511-04:00Chris:
