#1 The Dallas Police had to remove from the cemetery today who were there to desecrate the graves of our ancestors.

I agree with the Reverend Andrew Young, as he speaks in the same manner as the late Reverend Martin Luther King and I will now repost a comment I posted last week:

***

Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg address where thousands of fresh graves were being dug for the dead of that battle proclaimed that the United States was "One Nation".

To heal the wounds via honor to one another after the civil war, the monuments were built. Indeed, still One Nation. Only this time all men were free and inclusive. Including the Americans these statues are of who accepted defeat and afterwards lived honorably.

In Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech he dreamed that people of all colors will come together in peace. That would include all Americans past and present.

Tearing down these statues of Americans is the tearing down of the United States of America through the gross divisiveness that rules the hearts of the so called "political class" seen for the first time in the most divisive history of this nation.

You know nothing about healing and being one, you only know violence, all you know to do is to tear people down.

***

An added point. Because of the honor, respect and dignity our fore fathers of the South were shown, their sons and daughters fought along side all Americans in all the wars since and knew how to honor the defeated.

General McAuthor left the defeated Hirohito in power because he knew that respect of the leaders of the defeated as only Americans of that time uniquely knew how to do, they would helped him heal the nation and Hirohito's son Akihito succeeded him and continued to build Japan into a great, free nation again.

The true understanding of "Love your enemies" has been erased from this nation. Perhaps it is because we truly are no longer an exceptional Christian nation but have become just another nation of hate.
