WASHINGTON - Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam will push for a bill in the state legislature to replace the state's statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that is displayed in the United States Capitol building.
The office of the Democratic governor will file a request for a bill that would outline the process for removing the statue and selecting a replacement. The figure of Lee is one of two statues from Virginia in the National Statuary Hall Collection.

He's more of a bigot than Lee ever was.

Lee was a West Point graduate who had served honorably in the US Army before deciding he had to Serve his home State of Virginia in the conflict. Northam wants to tear down History, strip Virginians of their Constitutionally protected Rights. Sweet Jesus, how did that Rat Fink ever get elected?

Less than 50% of the voters felt it was important to vote so we have to live with their laziness.

Well, they have two boxes left, and the effort will increase if any there value their liberty.
Soapbox
Ballot box
Jury Box (nullification)
Cartridge box.

That's easy. He is a country club elitist that considers himself a sophisticated internationalist,and is embarrassed to be called an American. Combine that with all the yankees moving into northern Va,and he had a lock on it.

I've yet to see a picture of Lee in any West Point yearbook in blackface.

The liberals disregard the constitution and the bill of rights.  The fact that the US is NOT a democracy and that the majority does not rule just does not matter.

 If they get the majority noise level, they will do whatever they want.
