Today's iconoclasts

"A Memorial to the Erased Statues and Monuments".

In one of history's more bitter-sweet ironies, a Trump-appointed black federal judge attempted - ultimately, without success - to stop the removal of the Confederate Memorial from Arlington National Cemetery.

I had a fantasy, in the event I had bought those 40 acres on Booger Holler Road in Stanly County, of offering a permanent home to unwanted statues and memorials. Wish I had done it.

  1. That they removed the Confederate statue from Robert E. Lee's wife's home saddens me.
    It shows our fine betters have no sense of history or honor.
    Just terrible.
