This Will Be My Last Post on This Blog

This will be my last post on this blog.  The problem is that I have way TOO MANY blogs.  I should really drop some others but will continue posting them, but not as often.

I started this blog after an earlier attempt had failed several years before this one.  The reason I started them was because I was so upset at what was going on in regards to the nasty and continued attacks on Confederate heritage.

I wanted people to know, that even if your local newspapers and media didn't talk about every day, that it was still going on.  Sadly, it still is and probably never will end.

And another reason to stop writing this blog is how upset it gets me every entry.

I still hold that statue removal should be put to a local vote, although I doubt the Confederate haters will try that again, because whenever it comes up for a vote, the people vote for them to remain.  I did agree with renaming the Army bases since the men they were named for did fight against the United States.

I also believe that when statues are removed, it should be the people who want them removed that pay for that.  And part of that cost should be to put the statues up elsewhere.  They should cover all costs.

Stone Mountain's Confederate Day

**  Stone Mountain prepares for Confederate Day demonstrations.  (Georgia.  You'd think Blacks would be more concerned with Black-on-Black crime and murders than Confederate Day.  Maybe demonstrate against that.)

**  Groups again call for cancellaton of Stone Mountain Confederate event.  Wonder if CAIR is involved with this?)

**  Florida Republicans want to allow citizens to sue  over Confederate monuments.

Should Confederate Monument Removal Be an Issue?

APRIL 25th, 2023

**  How do you feel about c(C)onfederate monuments  being a campaign issue in mayor's race?  (I'd consider it an issue.  And, I also believe that any proposal to remove a Confederate monument should be put to a vote of the people, not just a small group of politicians.)

**  Activists are calling  on state leaders  to leave Confederate Memorial Day in the past.  (Two guesses as to which race these activists belong.  First one doesn't count.  Is this a racist thing?)

**  Where Jacksonville  mayoral candidates Deegan and Davis stand on Confederate monument removal.  (Florida.   A lot of this revolves around if tax dollars should be used for removal.  I have always said that those that want them removed should foot the bill.)
