The destruction of the Reconciliation Monument is so much worse than mere iconoclasm, which is bad enough by itself. The only reason to make a scene of destroying a monument to the reconciliation of two sides who were at war with each other is to signal that reconciliation going forward will also not be tolerated.

Right now the Left is gleefully throwing its political enemies in prison for non-existent crimes. This includes the Left’s chief political opponent. It is setting up bogus kangaroo courts to obtain fraudulent indictments and convictions.

The Left fantasizes about using the military power of the state to drop nuclear bombs on citizens who exercise their constitutional right of self-defense. As we speak, it is using government power and coercion to illegally censor and shut down the speech of its enemies. And most dangerous of all, through insane and outrageous assassination prep agitprop, the Left and its loyal media propagandists are ginning up their most ardent and unstable supporters to commit violence against the potential next president of the United States.

The modern American left clearly has zero interest in reconciliation with anyone in this country who opposes their political agenda. They are not disguising this hatred. In fact, they are so open about their refusal to ever allow anyone else to wield power or even exist outside their clutches that they’re willing to rip out and destroy a literal monument to American reconciliation.

What do you think they’ll do to you if you ever get in their way?

This is a total disgrace, but the fact that they're actually removing a RECONCILIATION monument tells you everything you need to know about the state of this country and its rotten government today.

Biden has needlessly divided the country. A hodgepodge of campaign promises have been thwarted by congress, but the failure to respect his opponents may ultimately be his undoing.

Do the knuckleheads realize that Arlington National Cemetery is built on land that was once owned by Robert E. Lee? Are they also going to move the Cemetery off what used to be Lee's land?

Removing a reconciliation monument? So. we can pretend their never was a Civil War? And, if their wasn't a Civil War in Make Believe Land, that means there was never slavery. if there was no slavery in Make Believe Land, that means there's no reparations.

Confederate memorial to be removed from Arlington National Cemetery
By The Associated Press
Dec 17, 11:21 AM

ARLINGTON, Va. — A Confederate memorial is to be removed from Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia in the coming days, part of the push to remove symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities, a cemetery official said Saturday.

The decision ignores a recent demand from more than 40 Republican congressmen that the Pentagon suspend efforts to dismantle and remove the monument from Arlington cemetery.

Safety fencing has been installed around the memorial, and officials anticipate completing the removal by Dec. 22, the Arlington National Cemetery said in an email. During the removal, the surrounding landscape, graves and headstones will be protected, the Arlington National Cemetery said.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin disagrees with the decision and plans to move the monument to the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park in the Shenandoah Valley, Youngkin spokeswoman Macaulay Porter said.

"the memorial commemorates reconciliation and national unity.”

The two things are desperately needed even today but which go against the democrat political agenda.

My dream donation is to start, set up, and operate a fallen Confederate Statue and Monument Park. Chalk it full with cameras, security, and a crack legal team that can prosecute any vandal who dares to even spit in the park And when I mean prosecute, I'd have it in a location, that could establish a local ordinance that fines the utter hell out of any lawbreaker.

The Biden admin has the right to tear down the Reconciliation Memorial at Arlington because not only did the GOP give it to them in the 1500 page 2021 NDAA, but they were also too lazy to define a “grave marker” and entrusted the definition to the renaming commission

Oddly enough, given its mission, the Naming Commission appears never to have considered simply re-naming the Confederate Memorial at Arlington. It did consider adding signs to provide 'context' to the memorial, but decided on destruction instead.

Just more attempts to remove our history by the liberals. The GOP isn't helping much.

What's next for these morons to target at Arlington, maybe this?

Arlington National Cemetery consequently expanded to include Sections 21, 22 and 24. In 1900, Congress authorized a designated section for Confederate soldiers, at a time when the nation was trying to reconcile after the Civil War. The Confederate section (Section 16) contains the graves of 482 veterans and spouses.

There are groups that like to remove history they don't like, communists, fascists, moslems, and the socialist left in America(Oops, already said communists).

I read all the replies. Everyone is right-on.

Sorry for sounding like the broken record, folks, but I'm gonna ask it again:

Is it time yet for the Heartland States to convene a new "Continental Congress"...?

Interesting thread:

1/ Today at Arlington National Cemetery, they will tear down a memorial built to celebrate reconciliation between North and South.
But commanding American General and President U.S. Grant had a dramatically different view of reconciliation than the monument wreckers ...

BREAKING: Trump-appointed federal judge blocks removal of Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery
"The removal will desecrate, damage, and likely destroy the Memorial longstanding at ANC as a grave marker and impede the Memorial’s eligibility for listing on the National Register of Historic Places."

A Trump appointed federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on Monday barring the removal of the Reconciliation Monument in Arlington National Cemetery.

According to NBC 4, Defend Arlington filed a lawsuit on Sunday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking a restraining order on the monument’s removal. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Work had been underway on Monday morning when the order was issued, but the monument had yet to be deconstructed.

On Friday, the cemetery said that it expected to complete the removal this week, adding that the removal was required by Congress.
