Eight Days to Virginia's Confederate Statue Orgy-- Part 1: Times That Try Your Soul

Just eight days until the Confederate Memorial Protection Act is no more and I am sure Virginia is preparing to have one of the biggest parties in state history next Wednesday.

Those statues will be gone and certain people and their minions will be partying hardy.

The Confederate statue situation is really opening the proverbial can of worms.  It might even come back to bite the ones pushing it.  Remember, all it takes is one black person to be offended before things get done.  Hopefully that is a two-way street.

Here is an article from the June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across the US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins, AP.

"Protesters tore down more statues across the United States, expanding the razing in a San Francisco park to the writer of America's National Anthem and to the general who won the country's Civil War which ended widespread slavery.  Really, writer of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?  Must be something ol' Kappynapper had something to do with.   Really, U.S. Grant who beat Confederate General R.E. Lee and ended the war in which slaves received their freedom?  Really?

"In Seattle, violence erupted before dawn Saturday in a protest zone largely abandoned by police, where one person was fatally shot and another critically wounded.

"On the East Coast, more statues honoring Confederates who tried to break away from the United States more than 150 years ago were toppled."

And, what about the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in Oregon?
