The "Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times has never been all that fond or reverent of the idea of erecting statues to any man (except maybe for a small bust of The Great One). The whole practice reeks of the idolatrous worship of mortal and flawed men. Portraits and postage stamps are fine; but brazen or bronzed images? I don't know. It's just a bit much. In spite of all the moving compliments many of "youse guys" have showered yours truly with, I sho nuff' would not want such a thing. (Donations and/or book purchases will suffice -- here)
We are, however, very fond of and reverent for those truly special men of history who deserve to be remembered for their character and achievements. It's not so much the removal of Confederate General Robert E Lee's statue 'per se' (a high fallutin' $10 term for 'in itself") that we find so offensive; but rather, the phony pretext behind it -- namely, his undeserved vilification as a "racist" ™ as well as the real reason behind it -- namely, the Marxist conspiracy to denigrate the heritage of southerners in particular, and all White people in general.
Whether you're an American or not, this ugly event down in Lee's rapidly "diversifying" Virginia offers us a good "teachable moment" ™ for remembering (and honoring) the memory of the real General Lee.

1. A great general -- and a good man. // 2. As recently as 1995, the US postal service was still honoring Lee with postage stamps. // 3. An ignoble end. Marxist rabble scum had long been vandalizing the pedestal of the statue with state-protected impunity. But tear down a Rainbow Fag Flag and they'll charge you with a "hate crime."
Robert E Lee graduated as the 2nd highest ranked student in his class from the West Point Military Academy in 1829 -- where his focus was on studying engineering. He further distinguished himself by not incurring a single "demerit" during his four years of study -- a distinction shared by only 45 other cadets during the academy's 220 year history.
Year later, as a staff officer, Lee earned his name as a tactician during the Mexican–American War (1846–1848). His reconnaissance was instrumental in several American victories by mapping out attack routes which the Mexicans left undefended because they had assumed that the terrain was impassable.
Lee, though himself having owned a small number of slaves, described slavery as a "moral and political evil" which would pass in due time. Ironically, much like the newly-elected U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Lee was as opposed to southern secession as he was to the dangerous idea of radically abolishing slavery all at once (because it would trigger a war). Indeed, it was those extreme forces -- promulgated by agents linked to Europe (Rothschild) and warned about by Andrew Jackson a few decades earlier -- which slowly but surely inched the United States toward the coming disaster. When the U.S. Civil War between North and South finally broke out in 1861, Lee was offered the position of Major General in the Union Army by Lincoln's advisor, Francis Blair. Lee replied:
"Mr. Blair, I look upon secession as anarchy. If I owned the four millions of slaves in the South I would sacrifice them all to the Union; but how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native state?"
With heavy heart, and in spite of his disappointment with pro-slavery southern secessionists, Lee chose to fight for the South -- commanding the Confederate States Army and personally leading the Army of Northern Virginia. He became a legend, respected on both sides, by establishing himself as an inspiring leader and tactician (though he blundered at Gettysburg) in the face of the superior Union numbers and resources that would ultimately prevail and lead to Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant in 1865.
Yes, Lee was a brilliant man and a great general -- but so was Genghis Monster. There is much more to the man that ought to remembered, and honored. To get a proper sense of who Lee was and what made him so special, let's go to "original source history" -- the best form of analysis -- and familiarize ourselves with some of his own words and inner thoughts.
*****
* (Lee's advice to a new mother) Teach your child to deny himself.
* Duty then is the sublimest word in the English language. You should do your duty in all things. You can never do more, you should never wish to do less.
* If a friend asks a favor, you should grant it if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot: You will wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind.
* Get correct views of life, and learn to see the world in its true light. It will enable you to live pleasantly, to do good, and, when summoned away, to leave without regret.
* In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages.
* We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of anyone. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but it is the path to peace and honor.
* If you have any fault to find with anyone, tell him, not others, of what you complain; there is no more dangerous experiment than that of undertaking to be one thing before a man's face and another behind his back
* In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
* Never do a wrong thing to make a friend--or to keep one.
* I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself.
* Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom, and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will.
* What a cruel thing is war; to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world!
* My heart bleeds at the death of every one of our gallant men.
* So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.
* The idea that the Southern people are hostile to the negroes and would oppress them, if it were in their power to do so, is entirely unfounded. They have grown up in our midst, and we have been accustomed from childhood to look upon them with kindness.
*
A strong "straight arrow" Christian moral character and unshakable senses of duty, honor and courage were the true pillars of Lee's enduring legend. In short, General Lee represented everything that today's corrupt "powers that be" (cough cough) hate and fear in a man. And THAT, boys and girls, is why the Marxist scum (under guidance from forces above) have defaced and removed his statue.
1. The unveiling in 1890. // 2. Horribly defaced by demonic Communist scum, stupid libtards and ignorant "Black Lives Matter" Negroes.
