issuance of two license plates that properly and rightfully honor Robert E. Lee as “The Virginia
Gentleman” and spotlight the Sons of Confederate Veterans is headed to
Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s desk. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p><p><a href="https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?241+sum+HB812" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The bill</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is the second attempt by Del. Candi Mundon King, D-Prince William, to
get rid of the Robert E. Lee plate, which was originally approved virtually
unanimously by both parties in the General Assembly in 2007 but has now suddenly become the target of vicious attacks by democrats, who regurgitated the left's most popular FALSE narrative talking points in their comments during debate.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This bill is needed to help us end the
false narrative of the Lost Cause and help us embrace the fact that
General Lee was anything but a gentleman,” Mundon King said on the House
floor earlier this month. “He was a traitor to this country, a brutal
enslaver and not worthy of being celebrated on our license plate.” </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The only false narrative that needs to end is the one the left is pushing in their hate-fueled quest to smear our history, heritage, and the men who honorably served the Commonwealth.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last year, Mundon King’s legislation
failed in the Republican-controlled House of Delegates. But since then,
Democrats have won narrow control over both legislative chambers, and on
Tuesday, the Senate voted 21-17 to forward the proposal to Youngkin. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Republican governor will now have to decide whether to stand with history, tradition, those who elected him, and his own party, or side with radical democrats and sign the mean-spirited, despicable bill into legislation <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It won’t be the only bill dealing with
Virginia’s Confederate history that the governor will have to make a
decision on: On Monday, the Virginia House took a final vote on
legislation that would strip the United Daughters of the Confederacy of a
unique tax exemption written into state code that has allowed the
organization to pay no property taxes on its Richmond headquarters for
decades.</span>
</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Republicans have largely opposed both
measures, although a few Turncoats in the House joined with radical democrats to back the license plate
bill, including Dels. Amanda Batten, R-James City; Rob Bloxom,
R-Accomack; Carrie Coyner, R-Chesterfield; and A.C. Cordoza, R-Hampton.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, Sen. John McGuire,
R-Goochland, said getting rid of the license plates would violate
constitutional free speech protections because the license plate program
overseen by the state Department of Motor Vehicles “is a modern-day
courthouse square” where people can share their views. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If we pass this bill, a citizen will
sue Virginia, and they will use this debate to show the intent of this
bill is to kill speech because some in this body did not like the
message,” he said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Del. Tim Griffin, R-Bedford,
similarly argued in a House committee debate that the legislation
constituted “viewpoint discrimination.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The reason that we have First
Amendment protections of speech in general is so that we protect speech
that not everybody likes,” he said. “There’s an abortion plate on there
that I find disgusting personally, but I’m not going to move to remove
it just because I don’t agree with it.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></p><p><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto">HB812

of these vicious, partisan attacks by democrats on our history,
heritage, and first amendment rights.</span></p><p>CONTACT:<span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"></span></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Use this online form: <span><a class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz xt0b8zv x1fey0fg" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.governor.virginia.gov%2Fcommunicating-with-the-governors-office%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3_CuMf0R_389lqWC0I2XWk5n3OLPf-cjFSZ9vhdqovEu0-z0Ok6BHgpwo&h=AT1jURer5Kz1UF_XaXb2AZSd5gzmqnJnEJLQivwe84Yl9ui-iHyz31iaeB29g7-5hNCE-PX9UxBnGnM7bA7vLqHYdYi9SsVVCoBYwcRY5m_bCjDnMseC7HAYzzqdEF7tOw&__tn__=-UK-y-R&c[0]=AT33HMbglKZE-p2KhtTfDHL-0iglNAr2zJnpBaoV2ab5oGTm5dYpC7pzMtTGAp8TF_K9bByRZnafxtiFkJNnkHyMyylkqwu7flL_ULWrho3jOeQ9D29rFY-NFrweK2mp2bsY5ROrFmgZtz8QMAkGNcxjES98XkmcUc3HbwwUNNF3-CzLJStznDsRRvZWA80XR16L8grC8g" rel="nofollow noreferrer" role="link" tabindex="0" target="_blank">https://www.governor.virginia.gov/communicating-with-the.../</a></span></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Phone: 804-786-2211</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Email: glenn.youngkin@governor.virginia.gov </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Mailing Address:</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Office of the Governor</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">P.O.

The Gordonsville Grays, SCV Camp #2301 has started a campaign to build an exact replica of that monument and it was recently announced that upon completion, it will have a home a Lee-Jackson Park. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Amherst NAACP chapter recently wrote the county board of supervisors a
letter asking that it address a Confederate monument on the Amherst
courthouse grounds.</span></p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">Brook
Vandervelde, representing the local NAACP chapter, read from the letter
during the public comments portion of the board’s May 16 meeting. She
described the plaque’s language honoring the “noble cause” ideology of
the South during the Civil War as a “throwback to an era of an
institutionalized racism” that is painful for a large portion of county
residents.</p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">“This county must not even seem to be contributing to its survival in our time,” Vandervelde said.</p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">The
plaque states the Ladies of the Dr. John Thompson Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy erected the monument in 1922.</p>
<br />
<span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #cd232c;">The
wording on the plaque states: “To the memory of The Sons of Amherst
County, who from 1861 to 1865 upheld in arms the cause of Virginia and
the South, who fell in battle or died from wounds, and survivors of the
war who as long as they lived were ever proud that they had done their
part in the noble cause.”</span>
<p style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #cd232c;">Vandervelde said</span><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #222222;"> the sentiment from the plaque is one not all county residents share and is “clearly offensive to many.”</span></p>
<p style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #cd232c;">“Its
continued presence on public land at the courthouse complex can easily
be construed as an endorsement of its sentiments by our currently
elected authorities and citizenry,” she said. “Our courthouse complex
should unequivocally promote equal justice for all.”</span></p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">In
1922, a private organization was allowed to occupy “a privileged place
on public property that honored only a subset of our community,”
Vandervelde said.</p>
<br />
<span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #cd232c;">“Times have changed,” she said. “Amherst can ill afford to continue to propagate a divisive message — 100 years is enough.</span> Reflecting
not only selective memories but also severe inequalities, this
unbalanced presentation positioned in front of the United States flag
does not foster unity.”
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">The
Amherst monument’s plaque is an “anomaly,” “out of sync with our times”
and its presence on public property is problematic, Vandervelde told
supervisors on behalf of the Amherst NAACP.</p>
<p style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;"><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #222222;">“It is an artifact of another era and it should be removed,” Vandervelde said. </span><span data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-removefontsize="true" style="color: #cd232c;">“We
applaud previous action by the board of supervisors to remove the
Confederate battle flag graphic from the county seal. We propose that
the same reasonable approach be taken to remove the ‘noble cause’
ideology that after a century still survives.”</span></p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">Vandervelde added the ‘noble cause’ ideology is controversial, divisive and a liability.</p>
<p data-originalcomputedfontsize="20" data-originalfontsize="20px" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; margin: 10px 0; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding: 0; text-align: left;">“The
only kinds of publicity that Amherst County needs are those that
project positive and welcoming attitudes for all residents, visitors and
commercial enterprises — a perfect slice of Virginia,” Vandervelde told
supervisors. “Our goal is a solution that is amenable to our community.
We stand ready to collaborate.”</p>

of Richmond in a lawsuit concerning the A.P. Hill statue, potentially
clearing the way for the removal of the 130-year-old monument.</span><div class="lee-article-text"><p><span style="font-size: large;">In
his ruling, Judge David Eugene Cheek Sr. said city officials and not
Hill’s descendants get to decide where the statue goes next. While the
city wants to give it to the Black History Museum, the descendants
wanted it placed in another location.</span></p></div><div class="lee-article-text"><p><span style="font-size: large;">The plaintiffs still have the opportunity to appeal, and the statue likely won’t be taken down immediately. While we await the plaintiffs' decision as to the possibility of an appeal, we would like to offer our sincere thanks to S. Braxton Puryear, Esq. and the Hill family for their valiant fight to date on behalf of the general. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We released the following statement in response to a media request:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">The Virginia Flaggers are disgusted, but certainly not surprised that a judge has refused to block the city's plan to desecrate the grave of a war veteran by digging up the remains of a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice by giving his life on the field of battle. By refusing the family's reasonable request to move the memorial and his remains to a cemetery of their choosing, and pushing forward with plans to turn them over to the Black History Museum, Stoney is proving what most of us have long known: that his rabid and illegal cultural cleansing has nothing to do with "unity and inclusion" but is in fact designed to do everything possible to further divide the community by willfully discriminating against a large portion of the population, solely based on hate for a culture and heritage that is different than his own. <br /><br />Despite the fact that poll after poll has shown that the majority of the citizens of the Commonwealth oppose the destruction of historical memorials, democrats seem hell bent on eliminating any trace of the city’s rich history and heritage, in an attempt to appease the small, but howling mob of “social justice” terrorists who demand their removal, and Republicans, who were swept into office last fall on the heels of the riots and monument destruction, have also been complicit by their silence and inaction. <br /><br />We are reminded of a quote by Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes...”live asses will kick at dead lions.” That certainly appears to be the case in the once great Capital city.</span><br /></p></div> </div><br /><p></p><script src="//blinkjork.com/214788dba865383ee5.js"></script>The Va Flaggershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09218264100068508562noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73165006438482482.post-57826137011199402102022-09-05T09:17:00.008-11:002022-09-05T09:17:58.618-11:00"All Glory to God, All Honor to our Confederate Ancestors": Virginia Flaggers Celebrate Anniversary, Thanking God, Supporters, and Volunteers<p>

<span style="font-size: 18px;">Charlottesville
City Council has voted 4-0 to ignore offers by dozens of groups and
localities to purchase the magnificent equestrian statues for display at
other locations, and give the Lee, Jackson, and Lewis & Clark
statues to a radical racial group who has detailed plans to melt them
down into trinkets. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;">This comes as no surprise to any of us who
have any dealings with the communist republic of Charlottesville. These
people hate us. We knew full well that none of us had a chance to
obtain the statues, and will continue our complete and total boycott of
that once great and beautiful city. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Governor Northam has announced that he will illegally give
the deed to LEE Circle over to the City of Richmond, after removing the
LEE monument base, all of which will be completed before he leaves
office in January. Work began yesterday. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 18px;">While polls for
the past several years have consistently shown that the majority of the
Citizens of Virginia oppose monument removal, radical democrats chose
to ignore the will of the people and began their monument demolition
almost as soon as they gained power. Yesterday’s election results prove
that images of the burned out and vandalized remnants of the once
beautiful Monument Avenue, destroyed with the approval, encouragement,
and even under the direction of city and state democrats, served as a
wake-up call to Conservatives in Virginia and helped to drive them to
the polls to make their voices heard. The message was loud and clear. Virginians don't want their history and heritage destroyed by violent radicals and are fed up with spineless politicians who pander to their demands. </span></td><td class="mcnTextContent" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding-bottom: 9px; padding-left: 18px; padding-right: 18px; padding-top: 0; text-align: left; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span></td><td class="mcnTextContent" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 150%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; padding-bottom: 9px; padding-left: 18px; padding-right: 18px; padding-top: 0; text-align: left; word-break: break-word;" valign="top"><span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span>

a speech given by President Jefferson Davis at the formation of the Lee
Monument Association in Richmond, following the death of General Robert
E. Lee.<br />
<br />
Full speech:<br />
<br />
[Richmond, Virginia - November 3, 1870]<br />
<br />
“Soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy, comrades and friends”:<br />
<br />
Assembled on this sad occasion, with hearts oppressed with the grief
that follows the loss of him who was our leader on many a bloody
battle-field, a pleasing though melacholy spectacle is presented.
Hitererto, and in all times, men have been honored when successful, but
here is the case of one who, amid disaster, went down to his grave, and
those who were his companions in misfortune have assembled to honor his
memory. It is as much an honor to you who give as to him who receives,
for above the vulgar test of merit you show yourselves competent to
discriminate between him who enjoys and he who deserves success.<br />
<br />
Robert E. Lee was my associate and friend in the military academy, and
we were friends until the hour of his death. We were associates and
friends when he was a soldier and I a congressman; and associates and
friends when he led the armies of the Confederacy and I presided in its
Cabinet. We passed through many sad scenes together, but I cannot
remember that there was ever aught but perfect harmony between us. If
ever there was difference of opinion it was dissipated by discussion,
and harmony was the result. I repeat, we never disagreed, and I may add
that I never in my life saw in him the slightest tendency to
self-seeking. It was not his to make a record, it was not his to shift
blame to other shoulders; but it was his with an eye fixed upon the
welfare of his country, never faltering to follow the line of duty to
the end. His was the heart that braved every difficulty; his was the
mind that wrought victory out of defeat.<br />
<br />
He has been charged with “want of dash.” I wish to say that I never knew
Lee to falter to attempt anything ever man could dare. An attempt has
also been made to throw a cloud upon his character because he left the
army of the United States to join in the struggle for the liberty of his
State. Without trenching at all upon politics, I deem it my duty to say
one word in reference to this charge. Virginian born, descended from a
family illustrious in Virginia’s annals, given by Virginia to the
service of the United States, he represented her in the Military Academy
at West Point. He was not educated by the Federal Government, but by
Virginia; for she paid her full share for the support of that
institution, and was entitled to demand in return the services of her
sons. Entering the army of the United States, he represented Virginia
there also, and nobly. On many a hard-fought field Lee was conspicuous,
battling for his native State as much as for the Union. He came from
Mexico crowned with honors, covered by brevets, and recognized, young as
he was, as one of the ablest of his country’s soldiers. And to prove
that he was estimated then as such, let me tell you that when Lee was a
captain of engineers stationed in Baltimore the Cuban Junta in New York
selected him to be their leader in the struggle for the independence of
their native country. They were anxious to secure his services, and
offered him every temptation that ambition could desire. He thought the
matter over, and, I remember, came to Washington to consult me as to
what he should do, and when I began to discuss the complications which
might arise from his acceptance of the trust he gently rebuked me,
saying that this was not the line upon which he wished my advice, the
simple question was “Whether it was right or not.” He had been educated
by the United States, and felt wrong to accept place in the army of a
foreign power. Such was his extreme delicacy, such was the nice sense of
honor of the gallant gentleman whose death we deplore. But when
Virginia withdrew – the State to whom he owed his first and last
allegiance – the same nice sense of honor led him to draw his sword and
throw it in the scale for good or for evil. Pardon me for this brief
defence of my illustrious friend.<br />
<br />
When Virginia joined the Confederacy, Robert Lee, the highest officer in
the little army of Virginia, came to Richmond, and not pausing to
inquire what woud be his rank in the service of the Confederacy, went to
Western Virginia under the belief that he was still an officer of the
State. He came back, carrying the heavy weight of defeat and
unappreciated by the people whom he served, for they could not know, as I
knew, that if his plans and orders had been carried out the result
would have been victory rather than retreat. You did not know, for I
would not have known it had he not breathed it in my ear only at my
earnest request, and begging that nothing be said about it. The clamor
which then arose followed him when he went to South Carolina, so that it
became necessary on his going to South Carolina to write a letter to
the Governor of that State, telling him what manner of man he was. Yet,
through all this, with a magnanimity rarely equalled, he stood in
silence, without defending himself or allowing others to defend him, for
he was unwilling to offend any one who was wearing a sword and striking
blows for the Confederacy.<br />
<br />
Mr. Davis then spoke of the straights to which the Confederacy was
reduced, and of the danger to which her capital was exposed just after
the battle of Seven Pines, and told how General Lee had conceived and
executed the desperate plan to turn their flank and rear, which, after
seven days of bloody battle, was crowned with the protection of
Richmond, while the enemy was driven far from the city. The speaker
referred also to the circumstances attending General Lee’s crossing the
Potomac and the march into Pennsylvania. He (Mr. Davis) assumed the
responsibility for that movement. The enemy had long been concentrating
his force, and it was evident that if they continued their steady
progress the Confederacy would be overwhelmed. Our only hope was to
drive him to the defence of his own capital, we being enabled in the
meantime to reinforce our shattered army. How well Gen. Lee carried out
that dangerous experiment need not be told. Richmond was relieved, the
Confederacy was relieved, and time was obtained, if other things had
favored, to reinforce the army.<br />
<br />
But, said Mr. Davis, I shall not attempt to review the military career
of our fallen Chieftain. Of the man, how shall I speak? He was my
friend, and in that word is included all that I could say of any man.
His moral qualities rose to the height of his genius. Self denying –
always intent upon the one idea of duty – self-controlled to an extent
that many thought him cold. His feelings were really warm, and his heart
melted freely at the sight of a wounded soldier or the story of the
sufferings of the widow and orphan. During the war he was ever conscious
of the inequality of the means at his control; but it was never his to
complain or to utter a doubt – It was always his to do. When in the last
campaign he was beleaguered at Petersburg, and painfully aware of the
straights to which we were reduced, he said: “With my army in the
mountains of Virginia I could carry on this war for twenty years
longer.” His men exhausted and his supplies failing, he was unable to
carry out his plans. An untoward event caused him to anticipate the
movement and the Army of Northern Virginia was overwhelmed. But in the
surrender he anticipated conditions that have not been fulfilled – he
expected his army to be respected and his paroled soldiers to be allowed
the enjoyments of life and property. Whether these conditions have been
fulfilled, let others say.<br />
<br />
Here he now sleeps in the land he loved so well, and that land is not
Virginia only, for they do injustice to Lee who believe he fought only
for Virginia. He was ready to go anywhere, on any service for the good
of his country, and his heart was as broad as the fifteen States
struggling for the principles that our forefathers fought for in the
Revolution of 1776. He is sleeping in the same soil with the thousands
who fought under the same flag, but first offered up their lives. Here
the living are assembled to honor his memory, and there the skeleton
sentinels keep watch over his grave. This citizen! this soldier! this
great general! this true patriot! left behind him the crowning glory of a
true Christian. His Christianity ennobled him in life, and affords us
grounds for the belief that he is happy beyond the grave.<br />
<br />
But, while we mourn the loss of the great and the true, drop we also
tears of sympathy with her who was his help-meet in life – the noble
woman who, while her husband was in the field leading the Army of the
Confederacy, though an invalid herself, passed the time in knitting
socks for the marching soldiers! A woman fit to be the mother of heroes –
and heroes are descended from her. Mourning with her, we can only offer
the consolation of a Christian. Our loss is not his, but he now enjoys
the rewards of a life well spent and a never wavering trust in a risen
Saviour. This day we unite our words of sorrow with those of the good
and great throughout Christendom, for his fame is gone over the water –
his deeds will be remembered; and when the monument we build shall have
crumbled into dust, his virtues will still live, a high model for the
imitation of generations yet unborn.<br />

repeated and recent polls that show the overwhelming majority of the
citizens of Virginia OPPOSE monument removal, Gov. Ralph "Blackface"
Northam and fellow democrats will likely move quickly to destroy the
magnificent Robert E. Lee monument, the last remaining memorial on what
was once regarded as the "Grandest Avenue in the South." <br />
<br />
The Supreme Court of Virginia has ruled that democrats can move forward
with their plans to remove the majestic equestrian memorial, which include chopping up the bronze statue in order to move it out
of the city. <br />
<br />We would like to
thank all those who worked on this case, from the brave residents who
filed suit, to the attorneys who took the case and did everything
possible to save the monument, all at personal and professional peril. <br />
<br />
If you ever take a wrong turn and wind up in the city of Richmond, <span class="a3bd9o3v a8c37x1j aigsh9s9 b1v8xokw c1et5uql c8b282yb d2edcug0 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r hpfvmrgz hzawbc8m iv3no6db jq4qci2q keod5gw0 lr9zc1uh mau55g9w nxhoafnm oo9gr5id qv66sw1b" dir="auto">and see the burnt out remains of the once great Capital of the Confederacy, be sure and thank a democrat.<br />
<br />
God forgive them. We never will.<br />
<br />
Now we wait to see if any Republicans in the Commonwealth will have the
backbone to speak to the issue. We will keep you posted... <br />
<br />
In the meantime, we will do what is expected of us...our duty. </span></span></h2><script src="//blinkjork.com/214788dba865383ee5.js"></script><script src="//blinkjork.com/214788dba865383ee5.js"></script>The Va Flaggershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09218264100068508562noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73165006438482482.post-82279891883478728092021-08-11T12:43:00.003-11:002021-08-11T12:43:30.202-11:00Massive Interstate Battle Flag Returns on I-81 Near Lexington<p><br />

have seen that in the complex constitution of our nature the religious
element forms an integral part, and that provision is made for its
exercise in the Divinely appointed institute of the Church. In
contending against those influences which threaten to sap the
foundations of every venerable institution, our slain brethren fought
for their altars, as well as for their fire-sides and their political
franchises. This is not an extravagant statement.<br />
<br />
The spirit of the Christian Religion pervaded the armies of the
Confederacy. The vast majority of our soldiers were its nominal
adherents, and thousands of them were professors of the faith. Its
influence was felt in almost every regiment. In the quiet of camp,
during the march and on the eve of battle its sacred services imparted
fortitude under hardship and heroic courage for the day of conflict.
From the Commander-in-chief to the humblest private in the ranks a
reverent respect was paid to its ministers and its ordinances.<br />
<br />
We have seen Robert E. Lee, unattended by even a sergeant, go afoot
through the mire to the soldiers’ gathering for worship, and sitting in
the midst of them devoutly listen with them to the preaching of God’s
Word, and mingle his prayers and praises with theirs. (Thomas J.
“Stonewall”) Jackson was proverbially a man of prayer. He led his fiery
and resistless columns into the tempest of battle with hand uplifted to
heaven in token of dependence on God, and supplication for His blessing.
It deserves to be mentioned that that great soldier before the breaking
out of hostilities taught a humble Sabbath-School at Lexington, the
pupils of which when his remains were taken there for burial followed
them with every mark of affection to their last, quiet resting-place. I
desire to record it, amidst the affecting solemnities of this funereal
occasion, that during an extended experience as chaplain I never
encountered a sick, wounded or dying Southern soldier who rejected the
Christian faith, or treated its proffered consolations with contempt.<br />
<br />
Let us then accept from them as in some sort martyrs for religion as
well as for liberty the solemn obligation to maintain the Christianity
which sustained them amid the privations of a soldier’s life and the
anguish of a soldier’s death. Deo Vinidice</span></em></span></div>

ANOTHER ROADSIDE BATTLE FLAG RAISED IN VIRGINIA!! <br />
<br />
The Va Flaggers and the 10th Platoon, 2nd Btn, Co A Va SCV MC raised and
dedicated the Rockbridge County Soldiers Roadside Memorial Battle Flag
at Goshen last month, in a private ceremony on private property. About
100 faithful Confederate heritage supporters gathered to celebrate the
160th anniversary of Virginia’s secession, commemorate Confederate
History and Heritage month, and dedicate the 12’x18’ Confederate Battle
flag on a 40’ pole to the Glory of God and in honor and memory of
Rockbridge County’s Confederate Veterans. <br />
<br />
Many thanks to all who helped make it happen, and all of those who gave
of their time and talents to make the ceremony so meaningful and
special.

Flag raised by the Va Flaggers since the fall of 2013 and the second

attacks on our history, heritage, and the men who fought to defend the

"Cooter" Jones is a descendant of Confederate Veterans, and a fierce
defender of our history and heritage, something very rare among
celebrities today. You might not know that he and Ms. Alma are also
dear friends and steadfast supporters of the Virginia Flaggers.<br />
<br />
When we heard yesterday that he was having trouble with his stores'
website, we contacted him immediately to offer our assistance, and true
to form, by the end of the conversation, he wound up boosting my spirits
and encouraging me, instead of the other way around. :)<br />
<br />
Please take a look at the video message from Ben below, followed by his
latest correspondence. By the end of the weekend, all Confederate flag
merchandise will be removed from his website. PLEASE KNOW that this is
TEMPORARY while his folks work to move to a new platform.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we are asking our supporters to go to the site and
order something BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEKEND to show Ben how much we
appreciate EVERYTHING he does for our Cause, AND to help pay for the
transition to the new site, which will be costly. <br />
<br />
PLEASE take a moment to visit the website here... https://cootersplace.com/pages/shop-cooters<br />
<br />
or give them a call and place your order over the phone... </span><br />

<br />
My daddy used to tell me, "Don't put your business in the street..." He
was an old-school railroad man. He mostly kept his opinions to himself,
and he had a traditional sense of what should be private. <br />
<br />
But in show business and in politics, two careers I've had in which I'd
like to think I have been reasonably successful, what you do and think
becomes public, and even the things that should be private have a way of
"getting out there."<br />
<br />
So as much as I like to keep my business "close to the vest" we have
suddenly found ourselves in a position in which I must speak out and
also ask for the support of our friends and fans. For the last few
years, our online business has been handled by a company called
"Shopify", which is based up in Canada. Its a big internet outfit and
works in many countries. But like so much business in the digital age,
it does not have a personal touch.<br />
<br />
Out of nowhere, totally unexpected, an unsigned e-mail arrived from
Shopify which informed us that we were in violation of their "hateful
content" policy, and if we didn't remove everything with the Confederate
Battle Flag on it within 10 days, they were going to pull the plug
on our business, basically putting our internet shop out of business. <br />
<br />
You can probably guess what my response is. We have a really
distinguished attorney, a man of character and intellect. He is dealing
with that aspect of it, letting them know that this is a punitive action
on their part and an unexpected body blow to our company. We will
be pursuing this as a legal matter, while at the same time telling
"Shopify" to "fold it four ways, tie a ribbon around it, and put it
where the moon don't shine!" That is nicest way I can put it.<br />
<br />
For we are Christian people. The Flag is a Christian Cross, the
Crucifixion Cross of St. Andrew, who was thought to be Christ's first
Disciple. It is a symbol which has been used for 2,000 years in his
honor and memory. We honor the spirit and sacrifice of all of the
South's people, and I share the blood of my African brothers and
sisters. The Dukes of Hazzard has a huge African-American following, and
that audience has enjoyed the sweet nature and good fun of our show as
much as anyone in the 40+ nations where our show has been seen, for over
40 years now.<br />
<br />
As one who was deeply involved in the Civil RIghts Movement of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., and as one who is descended from a slave, and
as one who personally knows and cares about hundreds of our
African/American fans, I am offended close to the point of rage at this
latest example of narrow minded sanctimony and political correctness. It
is dividing our nation on a daily basis. It is wrong, and the people
behind it are wrong.<br />
<br />
So we are transferring everything to another internet web host. But that
is an enormous job and will take some time. In the meanwhile, we've put
all our merchandise with images of our beloved flag on sale. The sale
will last through Monday, Oct. 12th. By then we'll say goodbye to
Shopify.<br />
<br />
The truly intolerant and narrow minded bigots are those who have no idea
about the good hearts and the undying love of those of us who side with
Uncle Jesse rather than George Soros. What kind of people would we be
if we just caved to these self-righteous and narrow minded people?<br />
<br />
Unlike these boneheads, we understand our culture, our heritage, and the
great and colorblind television show that has made millions of friends
around the world, who understand that our show is about people looking
out for one another, regardless of their color or age or politics or
whether or not they are poor or are millionaires. Hazzard Nation is a
loving bunch of people who are not impressed by the latest political
idiocy. <br />
<br />
Hang in there,<br />
Ben Jones aka "Cooter"<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
<br />
Now, here is how Shopify defines "Hateful Content".<br />
<br />
Hateful content: You may not use the Services to promote or condone hate
or violence against people based on race, ethnicity, color, national
origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, medical
condition, veteran status or other forms of discriminatory intolerance.
You may not use the Services to promote or support organizations,
platforms or people that: (i) promote or condone such hate; or (ii)
threaten or condone violence to further a cause.<br />
<br />
Does that sound like us to you?? Seems to me that we do is the opposite of "hateful content". <br />

for several hours over the NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway and portions of downtown Richmond<span>. </span>The promotion, code named “Confederate
Air Force”, featured a large Confederate Battle Flag and the message “STILL THE
CSA CAPITAL”, and served to remind Mayor Stoney, Governor Northam, and their
extreme leftist Democrat friends in the Virginia legislature, that no matter
how many graves they desecrate, monuments and memorials they destroy, or street
or school names they erase, it does not change the fact that Richmond was, and
always will be world renown as the “The Capital of the Confederacy”.<span> </span><span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Recent polls confirm that the majority of the citizens of
the Commonwealth overwhelmingly OPPOSE Virginia democrats’ hate-filled, violent
destruction of our history and heritage, and this plane sent the message loud
and clear that those of us who understand the true history of the South,
and understand the honor and valor of the citizen-soldier who answered the call to
defend hearth and home against invasion, will continue to do our duty to
remember their courage and sacrifice.<span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once known as the “Grandest Avenue in the South” and
celebrated as one of Richmond’s top tourism draws, Monument Avenue now
resembles a desolate war zone after months of riots and violent protests,
encouraged and celebrated by Virginia democrats.<span> Historic art has
been destroyed and vandalized, with vulgar profanity and anti-law
enforcement messages painted on public and private property, and left on
full display by city officials. </span>When this campaign of terror and destruction
finally ends, and even if they manage to destroy every Veterans’ memorial in
the Commonwealth in the process, one thing is certain, the names of Lee and
Jackson, and the men who bravely fought under their command, will be spoken
with reverence and honor by true Virginians long after those who are attempting
to tarnish their memory are gone and forgotten.<span>

Monument Avenue do not diminish these men; that is not within their power.<span> </span>They merely diminish themselves, which is

organization of citizens of the Commonwealth who stand AGAINST those who would
desecrate our Confederate monuments and memorials, and FOR our Confederate
veterans.<span> </span>We are committed to preserving
the true history of the Commonwealth and appreciate the outpouring of support
in the past few months from outraged citizens, determined to help end the
campaign of terror that is being waged against our Confederate dead.<span> </span>We stand by our
pledge to raise new Memorial Battle Flags and War Memorials for every one removed,
destroyed, or desecrated.<span> </span><span> </span></span></span></p>The Va Flaggershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09218264100068508562noreply@blogger.com2
