Taking a Long Look at the Alabama State Coat of Arms

I was looking at the Alabama State Coat of Arms in the picture section to the right of this and have come to the conclusion that other things need to be taken off it because they might offend some people.

Right now, there is a movement among black legislators in that state, and of course BLM, to remove the Confederate flag because it offends them.

In that case, they also need to remove the Spanish flag because the things they did to the Indians in the new world were too numerous to even get into.  France and British were also bad to the Indians.  Plus, all three countries have done bad things in their history.

Plus, eagles have been known to swoop down and grab fish and other small animals, even other birds.  Well, we can't have them either.

Then, there's that ship at the top of it with cannons.  Ships with cannons kill people on other ships and land.

Then, there is that state motto "Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere" which means "We dare to defend our rights."  Oops, they dared to defend their right to own slaves according to BLM.

So, all that has to go.

See what the NEW Alabama coat of arms will look like below.

Did You Hear the One About the Virginia Senator Charged With Two Felonies For What She Did at the Portsmouth Statue Hate Crime?

AUGUST 18, 2020


**  BREAKING:  Sen. Lucas charged with two felonies for June incident  at Portsmouth Confederate monument.   (Senator Louise Lucas, Democrat and a black woman.  Conspiracy to commit  a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000.  Also warrants have been issued for a Portsmouth school board member, NAACP members and even members of the public defenders office.  I am shocked by this as I thought BLM had carte blanche to do whatever they want to Confederate statues, especially in a state like Virginia.  So, there is some law in the state after all.)

A video accompanies the article which shows BLM doing their BLM thing on that monument.  A real hate crime in other words.  Part of the video supposedly showed what the state senator did to get charged, but I didn't really see her doing anything wrong.  But just the fact that she was present when crimes were being committed and supporting the crimes is enough in my book to arrest her.

This is one video you need to watch.  I don't know why the police just stood by and watched, although I am glad they are now finally taking action.  Watch the whole video (which takes a minute to upload.  There is even a complete list of people charged so far.

The state governor, rather than being shocked and demanding her resignation, is supporting her.  But, then again, he is a Democrat and one of those white people who are pledged to BLM.  Plus, he is a committed supporter of Confederadication.

**  Liverpool, site of the last surrender in US Civil War, grapples with its Confederate links.  (A very interesting, but skewed account by a real Confederate-hater.  I'll be taking the non-hate stuff out and writing about it in my Civil War Navy blog.)

**  City removes Confederate  monument from Bicentennial Park in Williamsburg.  (Virginia)

**  Hit  'em where it hurts--  how economic  threats are a potent tool for changing people's minds about the Confederate flag.  (In other words, if you don't like Confederate flags or statues, boycott.  That is exactly what I do to any Southern city removing statues.  I don't go there anymore.  And, I'm thinking before long that I won't be able to go anywhere in the former Confederacy.  Oh well.  I may never be able to go to Virginia again.)

Well, Maybe There Is Some Hope for Virginia Yet.  --Old Secesh

About Sad Richmond and Its Sad Mayor and Those Monuments-- Part 1

JULY 15, 2020

**  Opinion:  "Statues taken down should go to a museum"  but  will they be safe there and will any actually go there.

This is from a British site called Politicalite and makes some interesting points about Sad Richmond and its Sad Mayor.

Civil War experts fear that the removed or "toppled" Confederate statues will not be removed to a museum but will be melted down.

"As to already downed  statues in Richmond, Mayor Levar Stoney (a black man)  only paid lip service to preserving them.  He used 'emergency powers' to start removing them, but he hasn't  disclosed where they are going.  He had previously announced  a new city ordinance giving him the power to do whatever he wants  with local statues."

As we now know, several of the monuments are now at Richmond's water treatment plant.  As far as we know, Mayor Stoney has not ordered then placed in the water to be treated.  All of them had damage and all sorts of profanity and graffiti all over them, compliments of the mayor and his BLM friends and their white minions.  The Lee statue still stands, but is so covered with graffiti and obscenity, it is an eyesore.  I tried putting a picture of what it now looks like in this blog, but had to take it down as it was just too sad.  Like I said, Sad Richmond, Sad Mayor.
