Texas isn’t about to let the rioters destroy their historic monuments. And they aren’t messing around.
Texas stopped an enormous protest plot with five serious words of warning.
The protesters are interested in tearing apart the heritage of the American nation because the men and women of the past were flawed human beings.
There’s a degree of arrogance to that attitude.
In America today, over a million unborn children are killed every year legally and yet Americans are ready to tear down statues of people who dehumanized others.
The saying goes, “people who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who came under fire for a picture in his medical school yearbookwhere he is allegedly wearing blackface, is trying to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee in front of the Virginia State Capitol.
Lee didn’t want his home state of Virginia to secede from the Union, and he said, “There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil,” yet he was not an abolitionist.
Robert E. Lee was a complex manwho was influenced by the culture of his time. He had his faults and he had his virtues.
He was also one of the greatest generals America has ever known and ought to be remembered.
Texas is doing a better job of protecting its monument than Virginia.
Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who is the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, did not mince his words.
