Arlington Cemetery


Death is the great leveling force and so I was disappointed that the headstones at Arlington were not all the same there! We should start by turning the eternal flame off at the Kennedy grave! I remember when President Reagan laid a wreath on a German soldiers grave and Jewish folks everywhere were understandably pissed off.

I understand why black people want to tear down Confederate Statues. My problem with them was that they were built during the Jim Crow Era after white southerners had won the peace! But if you have two statues of the same person and one is with his Confederate uniform and the other in street clothes, then keep the later assuming it was put there for some good work they had done.

And that is all I’m going to say about that!

Or add SLAVE OWNERS To the memorial.
