What authority did the federal government have to revoke his citizenship in the first place?

I'm not sure. Maybe it had something to do with his allegiance to the Confederate States of America.

That wasn't a crime, moron.

But the felony is still on his record.

Think about that. Lee wouldn't be able to legally own a fire arm

What "felony?" He was never convicted of anything. He was never even accused of committing a crime.

You mean truth empowers them?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Robert E Lee would utterly despise these Nazi scumbags clustering around his monuments.

Yes, he sure would have despised those Antifa Bolshevik vandals disrespecting private and government property.

He would have despised a group rebelling against the federal government? lol

 

[NYcarbineer]

What is the point of the OP? Any guesses?

Is it that we should respect the will of our elected representatives?

Try using some common sense.

Watch your tone of voice! This is Steve McGarrett you're talking to, a moral Christian man of White Privilege and Patriotism.

Robert E Lee would utterly despise these Nazi scumbags clustering around his monuments. His legacy is complex but there is little evidence he was a hateful man.

How about you address the reasons listed in the linked article for the restoration of his citizenship? And address the call for healing in relation to the divisive tactics of YOUR side today.

 

[NYcarbineer]

What is the point of the OP? Any guesses?

Try using some common sense.

IOW, you started a pointless thread.

They credited him with working to heal the wounds of the war.

THey wanted to recognize that.


What part of that in your mind does not empower AMERICA?

Nope. YOu lefties have created a world when you have made McGarrett look like the reasonable man.

His find, if legit crushes your anti-statue movement.

Healing? Oh, so that was the purpose of the biggest white supremacist march in recent memory, in Charlottesville,

healing!

Sort of.

You lefties have decided to attack our heritage. The Right has mostly failed to resist.


THis leaves a vacuum for the nutjobs to try to fill, in an attempt to create the impression of relevance.

He was afraid of revanchism, and continued division.


That issue was laid to rest long ago and is no longer relevant.


Today the issue is the Left attacking southern whites' heritage. As part of a larger American deconstructionism.

Division is no longer relevant? WTF, did you really just post that?

So were those the old conservative racist Democrats or the modern day liberal civil rights Democrats who voted for that?
