Seriously, it seems the left wants to expunge any memory of Robert E Lee (well the ones that suit them). Arlington was his plantation, why would you want people buried on that tainted land?

Exhuming dead bodies was always a fricked up idea. I wouldn't encourage them to take it any further.

Obviously Im being factious, but it seems their sensibilities are only offended when it suits them. If you want to expunge his memory, do it, not just the things you want.

Give them another ten years and they’ll get around to exhuming and burning the bodies of people they deem deplorable. They’ll have to get rid of us living deplorable first.

There’s a waiting period. A few hundred years. Maybe a thousand. And then you have to do it reverently....or u can just tear shite up. There’s no set rule if you pay attention to recent history.

Memphis, Tenn., city leaders unanimously voted on Tuesday night to exhume the body of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a former Confederate general LINK

And to what end?

We get the guy was a crazy KKK member but what does the morbid act of exhuming his body accomplish?

Absolutely nothing. The left's favorite pastime is virtue signaling.

Thankfully, most of them are mindless drones that have no real interest in history. Otherwise, they might realize how many Confederate memorials sit on Gettysburg and other battlefields and whine about their removal.

The sad thing is at some point they will if no one stops them. The progressive left is more like a cult than a political entity and they are only going to get worse.

The left does enough kooky things without us having to resort to falsely and preemptively accusing them of grave-robbing.

The left doesn’t tip graves, but they do do what you’re doing here. Much of the left doesn’t understand the collective point of view of Trumpists, so instead of think, they call him Hitler and call it a day.

Same with your line of thinking here. You have contempt for the others’ point of view, so you hastily conclude that grave-robbing is on the menu.

I can’t read their minds, but I have a damn strong suspicion that pretty much all of them agree with the following:
A) statues of (pardoned) traitors are bad
B) tombs and graves occupied by the remains of (pardoned) traitors are good

Another thing to keep in mind is a group of people who will openly and gleefully celebrate killing babies wouldn't blink at the idea of desecrating graves. Liberals truly are pure evil at heart

Now you are getting it. For them, it’s always a political agenda

Actually the land wasn’t Robert e Lee’s. It was his wife’s families land. Who was also a relative of Martha Washington. Learned all that this past week when visiting there.

They took Arlington for that purpose as punishment for Lee.

That is the reason that Meigs started burying those yankees there to start with. He wanted to make it so that General Lee could never live or even return there anytime after the war.

BTW: Yesterday was General Lee's birthday.

Happy Birthday Marse Robert.

More false information. Obviously, you know ZILCH about NBF. You just parrot what you have been told. Educate yourself on NBF. Do your research.
