Our local NBC station has a poll going as to the removal of
General Lee's portrait . The County is Lee Co.... guess who its named after..

So far - and it just started today - 84% have said NO...

Next thing they'll want the Civil War stricken from the History books....

This has become a feeding frenzy all over the US. A California state assemblywoman from San Diego wants to change the name of the Robert E. Lee elementry school. Likn below:

I also live in Lee County and this whole thing is ridiculous. Lee freed his slaves before many northerners released theirs. He treated POWs humanly. He chose to fight for the South not because of slaverly but to protect the states rights of his beloved Virginia. The NAACP is helping to lead the charge to remove the portrait.

So was Adolph Hitler, you think his portrait should be
on display?

Don't get me wrong, even though I'm an Australian
and have no vested interest, I'm saying leave General Lees image
up.

What I'm saying is, "It's a part of history", is not a good
argument.

Personally I would like to see all rednecks put on a slow train to Alabama and then the IQ of Alabama citizens would be lowered to never seen before levels.

....seems the biggest "shouters" have been the 100 or so Republican contenders for president.... They seem to believe that taking down the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (which racists appropriated back in the 60s) will eliminate racism and discrimination from this country. Once that flag is taken down, they will walk away, dusting off their hands and say, "now that was easy."

...and you seem to believe them. Yup, all the problems of the world are caused by the liberals... yessiree, bub....

Good for the NAACP. The KKK is helping lead the charge the other way, so let's try to level the playing field.
