Today the statue of Robert E Lee was removed by the city of Dallas and except for the crane crew and a few photographers no one seemed to care. I'm just amazed how easily you Southern Conservatives give up...

he was after all a democrate

A sad state for a great American, and a great soldier. What are they going to do, tear up his grave next, and plow under his former property, Arlington National Cemetery? He didn't fight for slavery. He fought for his state of Virginia. And he fought admirably.

He was a secessionist--he fought to break up this country and he fought admirably. And I think removing his statues from our public property is enough. If one of you conservatives want his statues then buy them and give them a home...

Then why was there a statue in Texas? Lee had never even BEEN to Texas.

I don't know. Perhaps we should ask the Texans who had the statue erected. But don't ask the cowards who had it removed quietly in the night.

Robert E. Lee was the greatest American soldier this great nation has ever produced. All you have to do is study his great accomplishments on the battlefield. If he had Jackson at Gettysburg, the outcome might have been different. Both, together, were a legend.

We don't give up easily. Man, those are fighting words. Perhaps the public was not informed or people realize they'll just be called racist and white supremacists and the statue will come down anyway. I'm sure the media was there waiting to cover a big riot and make white conservatives look really bad. Fooled 'em, we did.

Everyone loves a true hero and gentleman and that is what Lee was. Even Texans can recognize those traits. So there you have it. I'm shocked that YOU would ask such a question.
