Confederate flags and memorials were not "controversial" until Race Marxists decided to make it so.
Too many people get angry with whatever activists tell them. Then accept whatever activists instruct.
Some Republicans also go along with the Dems in hopes of a quiet life. Sad.
Imagine the seethe in the Union states if Washington was around for the Civil War.
The founder of the nation would have been the greatest Confederate general/president of all time.
For the record, yes, Washington would have 100% been a Confederate.
Stone Mountain should be protected at all costs.
It's American history, the same as any monument to George Washington or Thomas Jefferson is.
This was understood by everyone until recently when a gazillion foreigners decided to show up and tell us what we should think about our past.
"Tucker Carlson's worldview is driven by one issue, and every single decision that he makes on any other political issue is informed by that one issue. This obsession with Israel."

Were the Lees of Virginia descended from a Norman knight, part of a line--through the Lees of Coton Hall--that could be traced all the way back to 1200?
Such is the family legend
But others contend that they were unrelated to the Lees of Coton entirely, and instead descend from a line of clothiers from Worcester...
I tend to think something of a mix is true, given what we know about the family legend, and some fascinating genealogical research from the 1980s.
Clifford Dowdey perhaps put it best when he said:
βAmong the ambitious men who succeeded in Virginia, there was no record of connection with the nobility. Richard Lee I, one of the first of the empire-builders, came of a younger line which had branched off from modest landholders and was now established in London as merchants. Dispelling all questions about his status, Lee identified himself as a "merchant trading in Virginia." John Carter, one of the greatest dynasty-founders on the continent, most probably came from a family of London vintners, also a younger branch earlier uprooted from the land.β
In any case, watch my show for the full explanation!
