Too damn bad that the revisionists and thought control police are all in a tither about Robert F. McDonnell declaring that April will be "Confederate History Month" in Virginia.
Confederate history exists. Good people differed, fought and died over the differences. It happened and needs to be recognized and not air brushed from history.
The war between Unionists and the Confederacy was not all about slavery, a flawed human tradition, more practiced in Africa than anywhere else, but exploited in the United States. History is always more complex than most people care to understand.
McDonell is to be congratulated, but won't be by the mindless who chant the mantra that our strength is in diversity but practice the conforming and stultifying group think of the diktat.
A war that ended with 625,000 American dead deserves to be looked at with objectivity and an attempt at understanding all sides of the dispute.
If you love diversity, you will love it in thought and practice. Hooray for the Bonnie Blue Flag of independent thought.

General Robert E. Lee fought for diversity. He lost.
