Confederate Soldiers are American Veterans by Act of Congress

The anti-Confederate smear campaign is becoming recognized for what it always was, a political campaign to denigrate Southern heritage.

Congressional Appropriations Act, FY 1901, signed 6 June 1900

Congress passed an act of appropriations for $2,500 that enabled the “Secretary of War to have reburied in some suitable spot in the national cemetery at Arlington, Virginia, and to place proper headstones at their graves, the bodies of about 128 Confederate soldiers now buried in the National Soldiers Home near Washington, D.C., and the bodies of about 136 Confederate soldiers now buried in the national cemetery at Arlington, Virginia.”

The graves and memorials of American veterans are being desecrated. All in the name of political correctness.

It needs to come to a halt. Especially here on BB.

The liberal left has no issue with denigrating Americans they disagree with but refuse to call terrorists what they are. This is about as unAmerican as it can get and if they continue to push to far they will not like the response they get from actual real Americans.

Liberals are getting more and more bold and I believe they are over playing their hand. It seems they will need to learn the hard way.

Here is another example of the insane behavior of the left. O'Malley gets booed for saying all lives matter. One of the most racist events I have ever seen.
