    Absolutely, and he was definitely no traitor. His home was Virginia. By not taking up his States cause, that would have made him a traitor to his home. America was not as unified as it is now back then. Different times, different outlooks. But these bastards would have them all viewed as nothing but hateful racists.

    Yup its all been turned on its head when the south lost so did we all by losing states rights. People back then though of their state as who they owed loyalty first. It was more like the EU. Even today however you ask most Americans over seas where they are from and they will tell you the state not the US. We were originally called the united States of America not the United States of America

    By the liberal definition of racism....all of our founding fathers were racist including George Washington...should he be dug up and shipped out to sea and dropped like osama bin laden?

    This is so pathetic...allowing the complete discrediting of our founders and our history in the name of a modern fallacious ideology....political correctness.

    And very much respected by both sides. But today's political correctness has to be served. One can't express a different view point than the liberal elite. If you do you are branded with all sorts of nasty words and phrases.

    I wonder how much money that is going to cost tax payers to have those statues removed and packed up out of site?

    I wonder how many low income families that could have helped have a nice christmas dinner?

    Liberals always have their priorities straight.

    I think these statues should have been allowed to stay.

    WOW … !!!

    Who do we honor next -- Geo. Armstrong Custer … ??? Lt. William Calley … ??? Tim McVeigh … ???

    Anyway, Lee was not only a traitor, he was a loser and a coward …
    Why did he meekly surrender rather than fighting on … ???
    I'll bet that today's proud brave militia guys would never have quit … Instead, Lee just turned tail and ran from the fight ...

    I believe the South should have "harassed" the Judicature before waging war on the North.

    What they never tell us is that the North and the federal government did not treat Confederates as traitors and that their soldiers deserved all the honors that Northern troops deserved.

    Much of left is of incredible hypocrisy. While raging against Confederate flags they rage that we mus respect people in the ME of the religion of Islam, that treats women and virtually everyone as slaves. It comes down to hatred of America and Americans in my opinion because people are now taught in universities that it is enlightened to despise America and Americans, while worshipping what is anti-American and non-conventional, even if horrific.

    What is the lesson being learned now? If you are in the National Guard and your governor calls you to service and to fight, refuse. Ultimately, you may be declared a "loser and a traitor" and condemned.
