In case you missed this, my friend Jim Hoeft over at Bearing Drift has a wonderful post on the holiday Virginia celebrates today, Lee-Jackson Day.
But do we really need a special day to honor two generals who led the insurrection and caused the deaths of several hundred thousand Americans because they wanted to preserve their twisted society?
It is high-time that true Republicans remember what it means to be a Republican and disavow the so-called “Southern Strategy”.
Good job, Jim 
An awesome post indeed, thanks Vivian!
