Civil War II: Texas, Sad R., Kentucky, Missouri and North Carolina

MAY 3, 2022

**  After initial push, city's effort to eliminate Confederate names loses momentum.  (Austin, Texas)

**  Devon Henry has removed Confederate statues all over  the South.  (Sad R.  He is the one who removed most of the the Sad R. ones.  I did not know he had removed other ones than just Sad R.  In the process, he has made quite a bit of money and being a big supporter of the black mayor of Sad R. didn't hurt either.  He is the one who has had threats made on his life mentioned in the previous post.)

**  Daviess Co. judge rules on the future of Confederate statue on courthouse's lawn.  (Kentucky.  It can be moved.)

***************************

MAY 4, 2022

**  Resolution to recognize Civil War event approved by Jefferson City Council.  (Missouri)

'Go Mississippi,' Jefferson City, SPLC Again and Fort Rucker

APRIL 1, 2022

**  'Go, Mississippi':  State could ditch song with racist roots.  (I read the lyrics and listened to the song, but didn't find anything racist on it.  Sorry.)

**  Jefferson City sued for removing  Confederate-related stones.  (Missouri)

****************************

APRIL 2, 2022

**  Confederate history  shouldn't be celebrated.  (Alton Telegraph, Illinois.  This was one man's opinion.)

**  States with the most Confederate  memorials.  (And, you'll never guess who made this list.)

**  Renaming Fort Rucker:  Son sees father's name as good option for Wiregrass base.  (Dothan Eagle, Alabama.   U.S. Army Major  Charles Kelly  Sr.  And, he is a white man.)

--Old Secesh

Let's Not Rename Everything for Blacks

FEBRUARY 15, 2022

**  Austin's push  to remove Confederate  references should continue with street renaming.   (Texas.  They are renaming the streets for black people.  Every street should not be renamed for Blacks.)

**  Liberty City Council suspends public comments about Confederate statue amid  lawsuit.  (Missouri)

**  Bill seeks to remove Confederate artifacts  from state museum.  (Tennessee.  When history isn't history.)

**  CAIR renews call to remove  Confederate monument from NC  courthouse.  (Again, what do Muslims have to do with this?)

I Don't Mind Some Streets and Places Being renamed for Blacks, Especially Since They Were Overlooked All These Years.  But, NOT EVERYTHING Should Be Renamed for Blacks!!  --Old Secesh

The Second Civil War: There SPLC Goes Again, making Those Confederate Hit Lists

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021

**  Five Missouri schools have Confederate names, some want to that to change.  (Our good ol' SPLC boys are at it again making their famed "Lists" of names and things they don't like because they are Confederate and thus racist.  Of course, I've always thought that hating any and all things Confederate is a bit racist in itself since Confederates were white people.

Still waiting for that lost of towns and cities where looting and burning took place last year by BLM as well as damage done.  But, kind of doubt it will ever be made as it makes their side look kind of bad.

The five Missouri schools and location:

Breckenridge  Elementary in Breckenridge

Breckenridge High in Breckenridge

MuCullough Elementary in Republic

Price Elementary in Republic

Jackson Park Elementary in University City

I can see a further problem with the two schools in Breckenridge, Missouri.  Can you?

SPLC also says there are Confederate-named schools in  Minnesota (3) California (2) and Washington (1).

What Do You Figure SPLC Wants To Happen With Those Missouri Schools?   --Old Secesh

You Want That Statue Removed. Pay for It Yourself. Memphis, Mouton, Louisiana, Charlottesville, Capitol and Ozarks

JULY 17, 2021

**  Black Memphis clergy back efforts to remove Confederate marker in Collierville town square. (Tennessee.  Imagine Blacks doing something like that.  I know, real hard to believe.  That is not racist a bit I imagine.)

**  Mouton statue to be moved as Confederate group backs down from legal battle.  (Louisiana)

**  Public reacts to removal plans of downtown Lafayette's  Confederate statue.  (Louisiana.  The Mouton statue again.  The UDC will move it after town pays $25,000.  At least that's fair as long as the move is no more than $25,000.  If it is more, then the town should pay more.  However, even a better idea is to have those who want it moved pay for it themselves, not the city.  Hey folks, put your money where your mouths are.)

**  Charlottesville extends deadline  for hose interested in the Confederate statues.  (Virginia.  As long as the city pays all expenses involved, or, even better, those who want them moved pay for it.)

**  Senate Democrats introduce House-passed bill removing Confederate statues from U.S. Capitol.  (Wow, Democrats doing something like that?  Of course, the way all the headlines about this up until now screamed, I thought this was already a done-deal.)

**  A giant Confederate flag went up in the Ozarks.  One woman answered with this billboard.  (Missouri)

**  Petition seeks to ban Confederate flag at Academy  School District 20.  (Colorado Springs, Colorado)

**  Washington County taking  legal action to remove still standing  Confederate statue.  (Mississippi)

What About Those College Professors? Half the Staff. A Murky Legacy. Not Here.

MARCH 8, 2021

**  Confederate statue haunts  Blacks in Mo. town.  (Liberty, Missouri.  For crying out loud.  It is in a cemetery!!!    The graves of some 40 unnamed Confederates are around it.  At least the "activists" who want the statue removed are willing to pay $10,000 for it.  I can respect that.)

**  Half the staff:  Confederate flag to fly  from smaller pole.  (Virginia.  All the impact!!)

**  Confederate monuments  vandalized in city-owned cemetery.  (Atlanta.  Again, that was not vandalism.  It was nothing short of a hate crime.)

**  A murky  legacy:  Confederate generals who helped black locals.  (How could this be?)

**  Ky. mayor says Confederate statue  won't be on city property.  (Owensboro, Kentucky)

**  South Alabama professors wore Confederate gear, posed with a whip  and noose.  Now they're under investigation.  (From Halloween 2014.  They have been placed on leave.  University of South Alabama.  Of course, nothing at all happened to college professors who provoked attacks on Silent Sam at UNC or the one at UAB who posted how to pull down a statue.  We must be fair here.)

MARCH 4, 2021

**  In Alabama, a vote to keep Confederate monument protections.

**  Commission to rename installations named  after Confederates to meet in March.

*******************************

MARCH 1, 2021

**  An 'abomination':  Group offers $10,000 to remove Kansas City-area Confederate statue.  (Missouri.  The statue is in a cemetery with Confederate graves around it.  While I support, with reluctance, the removal of Confederate statues from public areas, cemeteries and private land should be exempt.  But I like the idea that those who want the statues removed pay for it themselves, which this group is willing to do.)

**  Activists push for removal of Confederate statue in Greenville.  (South Carolina)

**  Confederate symbols removed from Arizona in 2020.  (Three)

Talking About Monumentless Avenue in Sad R. How Do You Get to be an Activist? Those Pesky Confederate Face Masks (It's a Health Issue, You Know)

JANUARY 22, 2021

**  Name of Virginia's Camp Pendleton will be changed from that of Confederate general:  new recommendation due next month.  (Evidently a state owned base.)

**  Activists promise to continue fight against 'Talbot Boys' Confederate monument.  (Maryland.  I'd still like to know how you get to be an activist, usually referred to as a community activist.  Do you have to attend college and get a degree in Activism?)

**  Parents outraged  over student's Confederate  flag face mask demand action.  (Oakville, Missouri.  Nothing was said about wearing BLM masks.  Those are more than a bit offensive to many.  You mean you'd rather put a person's life in danger during the virus than be offended by that flag?)

**  After deadly US Capitol riot, Texas lawmakers  find renewed hope to remove Confederate symbols.  (No Confederate veterans took part in the attack on the Capitol.  They are all dead, guys.)

**  Commissioners seek dismissal of Gaston County Confederate monument lawsuit.  (North Carolina)

**  Valentine Museum's survey  says 64% of Richmonders believe museums should acquire Confederate monuments from Monument Avenue.  (Sad R.  The problem is that the Valentine Museum has been taken over by the other side. Also, the name of Monument Avenue should be changed.  I kind of like Monumentless Avenue myself, but any other name will do.  And, no monuments of any sort should be allowed on it or near it.  That means the Arthur Ashe statue also needs to be moved.)

**  Civil War marker in Jefferson City will be returned to  donors.  (Missouri)

NOVEMBER 4, 2020

**  Voters support keeping  Confederate statue where it is.  (Lunenburg County, Virginia.   The vote was 4,149 (71.19%) to 1,683  (28.1%)  It is not binding however.  But majority of the Board of Supervisors say they will honor the people's vote.

**  Mississippi voters decide to replace  Confederate-themed state flag.

**  Update:  Charles City votes no to advisory on moving  Confederate statue.  (Virginia.  More than 55% voted not to remove the statue.  It was one of six Virginia counties holding votes on the issue.  It appears at this time that all six voted to keep the statues where they are.  Maybe there is some hope for Virginia, but they will absolutely have to get rid of their elected folks.

Civil War II: Missouri, Mississippi, Voting, North Carolina, and Alabama

OCTOBER 21, 2020

**  Missouri capital city to remove disputed Confederate general marker.  (Jefferson City.)

**  Mississippi city will put decision on relocation of Confederate monument on ballot.  (Hattiesburg.  Commissioners couldn't decide in June.  People will note on it on Nov. 3.    This is the only way to decide this as long as both sides agree to abide by the vote.  Generally speaking, if BLM loses, they continue their destructive ways to get what they want.)

**  Lexington removed a Confederate statue to ease conflicts over it.  But tensions remain.  (North Carolina.   Since it was removed, that means BLM got their way.)

**  Oxford resident urges city officials to take action on Confederate monument ownership.  (Mississippi)

**  Alabama Confederate flag removal protester allegedly stabbed  justice group's inflatable screen.  (Albertville.  A wrong thing to do, but nowhere near as bad as what BLM does in Portland, Chicago and other cities.)

**  JCMO Confederate marker is 'history.'  (Jefferson City, Missouri)

BLM Flags and Banners Are Also Hate Symbols and Should Not be Allowed in Schools. What About That SPLC List of BLM Riots, Arsons, Looting and Hate Crimes? Maryland, Virginia, Missouri and North Carolina

OCTOBER 20, 2020

**  Confederate flag, swastikas and other hate symbols banned from Howard County school system property.  (Maryland.  I also say that anything BLM is also a hate symbol and should be banned.  They stand for riots, arson, looting and hate crimes.  Any school that bans the Confederate flag should also ban anything with BLM on it.)

**  Jury to hold trial on Virginia Gov. Northam's plans to remove Confederate Robert E. Lee.  (The Sad Va. Governor.)

**  Front Royal group wants Confederate statue voted off courthouse lawn. (Virginia)

**  Jefferson City  Council votes to remove Confederate marker.  (Missouri.  Marker to Confederate General Sterling Price.)

**  Following Lexington, N.C. among leading states for Confederate symbols removed.  (Nothing at all to be proud of.  North Carolina ranks second-most with 19 after Virginia's 40.  102 removed overall according to SPLC who has a hit-list of Confederate symbols it wants removed.  But, they won't make a list of BLM riots, looting, arson and hate crimes.)

Let's face it, BLM and SPLC are two very racist groups.

At least, Confederate flags and statues have not been rioting, looting, burning, confronting police and committing hate crimes like BLM.

A List Is A List Is A List.  Come on SPLC.  Get That Riot List.  --Old Secesh

The Cost of Removing Confederate Monuments Should Be Paid By Those Who Want Them Removed

OCTOBER 9, 2020

**  Albemarle County spent $100K on Confederate monument removal.  (Charlottesville, Virginia.  Those removal companies are making out like bandits.  But, I believe that those people who want the monuments removed should be the ones paying for it.  Hey, Bubs, put your money where your mouths are.)

**  Richmond City Council votes to keep Confederate monuments down permanently.  (Sad R.  I want those monuments away from that bunch as soon as possible.  As a matter of fact, I want absolutely any and everything having to do with the Confederacy out of that place.

However, I think the time has come to sue the city to repair all the damage they allowed BLM to do to the monuments and for the city to turn the monuments over to Confederate organizations and also pay for all costs for finding new homes, transportation and putting them up.  The city should also have a contingency fund set up to cover damage that BLM will be doing to the statues in their new places.)

**  'Southern Cause'?  Missouri's Confederate memorial skips over the evils of slavery.

**  Letter to the Editor:   The Confederate flag is unpatriotic.

The Second Civil War: Ohio County Fair, Missouri, Trump, Tennessee and the Black Card

 SEPTEMBER 22, 2020

**  88 counties in 88 days:  In prideful Lorain County, symbols like the Confederate flag remind community of differences.  (Ohio.  Lorain County Fair. They sell Confederate flags at some booths.  I recommend that if the flag offends you, don't buy it.)

**  Jefferson City Council to hear resolution to remove Confederate monument.  (Missouri.  And guess what is going to happen next.)

**  A new southern strategy.  Trump praises Confederate General Robert E. Lee  in campaign speech.

**  Protesters continue to demand removal of a Collierville Confederate monument.  (Tennessee)

**  After Confederate  and Dukes of Hazzard arguments, Giles County case brings 30-year sentence.  (Virginia.  A black man accused of having drugs to sell for third time was using a Confederate statue on the courthouse lawn and the old TV show as his defense.  Playing the old Black Card as it were.  It didn't work, and he got the sentence.)

Using the Old Black Card Bit.  --Old Secesh

In case you're wondering, the Black Card is what Kappynapper used to try to get another shot as an NFL quarterback.

**  Commission to recommend removal of Confederate monument.  (Jefferson City, Missouri.)

**  The question of whether a Confederate monument in the heart of Brandon should remain.  (Mississippi)

**  City:  No takers  for Norfolk's Confederate monument.  (Virginia.  The removal cost the city $125,000 and it is likely destined for Elmwood Cemetery.

**  Charleston violated free speech by nixing Battery parking.   Confederate flag waver says. (South Carolina)
