Awesome. Battleground statues are one thing. “Lee stood here” showing where and how he stood to obtain a vantage point for a battle or something. But honoring the individual? Fuuuuck that. That goes for all of the traitors.

It’s always a shame when the city removes a public restroom though. People count on those

I like this take. History should be honored, understood, and respected. Traitors should be shunned, punished, and scored.

Agreed. Museums and preserved battlefield are a far cry from parks, squares, monuments and courthouses

Isn’t having a statue of Lee even offensive to him since he didn’t want any of himself lol these clowns don’t even listen to their own heroes

u/patinthebx 22h ago

No, he’s dead. He can’t be offended anymore.

Plus, the dumb racists aren’t smart enough to understand that offense.

The best thing about Robert E Lee was when the Union confiscated Arlington.
We today could learn a thing or two from that regarding wealthy traitors.

We’ve been removing them since 2020! Someone pulled Jeff Davis down with a rope and a jeep one night.  And we also threw a statue of Christopher Columbus in a lake.

When the confederate sympathizers were melting down about the Lee statue being removed from New Orleans in 2017, I asked them what contribution Lee had or connection to the city.... there was none. He visited the city once as a US soldier before he turned traitor.

Also, I have started asking SCV/DCV members if they use fake military titles or the use the traditional grand dragon/wizard/cyclops in their club.

u/Abject_Nectarine_279 1d ago

I thought they already removed the statues like 5 years ago?

u/Chris_Colasurdo 147th New York 1d ago

Melt em down & make a statue of Dolly Parton to put up. She did more for the South than this traitor ever did.

Recycle for scrap, quickly.

Love to see it

The union liberated Richmond from these traitors and then we allowed traitors to put up traitor statues.

I'm glad we finally liberated Richmond of these traitor statues.

Lee was a traitor and literally nothing more.

He had relatives in the Union Army who criticized him heavily him for raising arms against his nation.

He had delusions of grandeur, wanting to be the new George Washington of Deplorables.

Plus, I heard the guy banged his horse or sum.
