#6  Don't say "reconciliation." Say "reckoning."

#5  They are no longer interested in Reconciliation. Submission is now the only accepted goal.

#4   It was meant to help bring this great nation back together.

And it's being removed to tear us apart.

#3  ^^^I'm in California for a few days visiting relatives. And "ignorance and hate" are the exact words to describe a lot of their friends.

Pavlov's dogs have nothing on these people for their visceral responses to anything they disagree with.

#2  My comments:
This monument stands for the reconciliation was between both sides of the Civil War. The living from both sides of our Civil War placed this here. It was meant to help bring this great nation back together. Above all monuments in Arlington, this one stands for what America is missing today. We are again a divided nation driving toward disaster. Tearing down this monument shows policies of division, hate, and misunderstanding. Stop this madness, be above it, Arlington should stand for unity of the brothers in America that fought and sacrificed for their country, and this monument stands for the ability to forgive and move forward. Don't fall for the ignorance and hate, leave this monument alone!
And last removing it using an "environmental impact study" excuse is beyond acceptable...

#1  I did it. Other than get my name on even more lists...'Viva Zapata' anybody?, it will have no effect.

It is a competitive sickness with socialists. Who can go the farthest in outraging normative principles? Like the unstable, cat lady in Lexington, VA filming herself desecrating Jackson's grave; quite the victory.

A lot easier to confront Stonewall or Bedford Forrest when they've been dead for a century and half.
