Jim Hoeft takes on Lee-Jackson Day
. Best line in the comments section goes to Stephen Braunlich:
Incidentally, its a very nice collection of second place trophies they have on Monument Ave.
Ouch.
I’ve already made my thoughts known about the Confederate Flag once before. The same feeling extends towards Lee-Jackson Day.
This has nothing to do with the character of Lee or Jackson. It has everything to do with the cause they defended. History should roughly judge these gentlemen just as we would judge Rommel, and every other “noble general” who defends a tyrannical cause.
There is no greater sin against humanity than to have it in your power to end an injustice, and do nothing.
