This is truly sad. I've lived in Northern Virginia since moving down here in 1973. Christ Church always fascinated me. I've been there for weddings and I've been there simply as a tourist/visitor.

When I go to court in Alexandria I often just go over and walk through the grave yard to look at the markers from the early 1700s. The plaques inside the sanctuary that recognize that George Washington and Robert E. Lee worshiped there impress me.

The last time I was there was with a visitor from Boston. The docent brought us to the area where the Washington family sat when they attended services. She told us that the area is reserved and that the ushers offer the area to visiting people who they do not know and who are attending services at Christ Church for the fist time.

I cannot believe that we are trying to erase history. Just horrible.

Ahh, this is the new narrative?

1st: Confederate monuments

2nd: All slave owners

3rd: All monuments honoring men

4th: All monuments??

Do Progs just want a world void of history? Imagine how boring the world would be if we followed that lead.

I wonder if you would have the same opinion towards removing all MLK statues?

I would say it’s a shame but at this point, America and it’s history is an enigma. I can’t predict it. I lived here and I loved it. Now the consensus wants to erase it’s history. I guess it’s theirs to erase. And I guess it’s time for me to go.

These people are dipshits. They want to run and ruin America. Let them ruin it.

Right? This is why all the MLK monuments and plaques must go.

There’d be riots, literally riots, if a single MLK monument was removed or MLK street renamed. But he’ll deny that here since it’d never happen anyway. Only white history is fair game and it’s largely self hating white liberals leading the charge.

I just wish they could’ve all been born 60 years ago so they could’ve protested something meaningful. Now they’re rebels without causes and it’s driving the rest of us nuts. Why don’t they go to Saudi Arabia and fight for the women there?

Well what's funny is I bet if we go through his post history, he was one of the one's stating:

"lol, you rednecks always overreact, nobody is removing George Washington monuments, this is only about Confederate monuments."

Now as the slippery slope that everyone with a brain knew would happen, has indeed happened, the tune has changed to:

"Lol, why do y'all even honor men of history, it's so dumb."

Then if it got to the point where we tore down the White House, it'd evolve into:

"LOL, why do y'all even care about historical buildings? They're old and don't mean anything."
