Not shocking a racist wants to honor secessionist confederate scum that fought keep people as slaves and rename forts after them.

Not accurate.

Trump reverts 7 Army bases to former names, including Fort Robert E. Lee​

The new names for the seven Army bases will honor 9 soldiers, including Delta Force soldier Master Sgt. Gary I. Gordon, a Spanish-American War Medal of Honor recipient and a World War I pilot.

The bases and their new namesakes are:

• Fort Gordon, Georgia, formerly Fort Eisenhower, will honor Master Sgt. Gary I. Gordon, perhaps the best-known soldier among the new namesakes. Gordon, a Delta Force soldier, was awarded the Medal of Honor after he volunteered to defend wounded crew members at a helicopter crash site during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia. He held off an advancing enemy force to protect a wounded pilot until he was killed.
• Fort Pickett, Virginia, renamed from Fort Barfoot, will be named for 1st Lt. Vernon W. Pickett, a Distinguished Service Cross recipient in World War II. The Army did not provide details on Pickett’s unit nor where he fought, noting in a release that he was captured and escaped after a battle, rejoined his unit and was eventually killed in action.
• Fort Hood, Texas, formerly Fort Cavazos, will be named for Col. Robert B. Hood, a Distinguished Service Cross recipient in World War I. While under heavy shelling near Thiaucourt, France, the Army said, then-Capt. Hood “directed artillery fire under enfilading machine-gun fire. After his gun crew was lost to enemy fire, he rapidly reorganized and returned fire within minutes.”
• Fort Lee, Virginia, formerly Fort Gregg-Adams, will be named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient Pvt. Fitz Lee, a Black Buffalo Soldier, for his heroism during the Spanish-American War. During a coastal assault in Cuba, Lee voluntarily disembarked under direct enemy fire to rescue wounded comrades from the battlefield.
• Fort Polk, Louisiana, formerly Fort Johnson, will be named in honor of Silver Star recipient Gen. James H. Polk for his gallantry in action as commanding officer of the 3rd Cavalry Group (Mechanized) during operations across Europe in World War II. Then-Col. Polk led reconnaissance and combat missions under fire, spearheading Third Army advances as part of Task Force Polk. He later served as the commander of U.S. Army Europe.
• Fort Rucker, Alabama, formerly Fort Novosel, the home of Army aviation, will continue to be named after an Army aviator. Capt Edward W. Rucker was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in World War I as a pilot for missions over France.
• Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, formerly Fort Walker, will be named for three Civil War Medal of Honor recipients: Lt. Col. Edward Hill, 1st Sgt. Robert A. Pinn and Pvt. Bruce Anderson. The three earned the Medal of Honor at different engagements at Cold Harbor, Virginia; Chapin’s Farm, Virginia; and Fort Fisher, North Carolina.

Dumbass Traitor Trump thinks he wins by renaming the bases for other, not Confederate soldiers, of the same names.

Look, I don't like Birchers either, but would they ever side with Russia?

You are maligning them.

“The JBS opposed the 1960s civil rights movement and claimed the movement had Communists in important positions. In the latter half of 1965, the JBS produced a flyer titled "What's Wrong With Civil Rights?" and used the flyer as a newspaper advertisement.

In the piece, one of the answers was: "For the civil rights movement in the United States, with all of its growing agitation and riots and bitterness, and insidious steps towards the appearance of a civil war, has not been infiltrated by the Communists, as you now frequently hear. It has been deliberately and almost wholly created by the Communists patiently building up to this present stage for more than forty years."

“The society believed that the ultimate aim of the civil rights movement was the creation of a "Soviet Negro Republic" in the southeastern United States, and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, claiming it violated the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and overstepped individual states' rights to enact laws regarding civil rights. “

Weird he purposely chooses to fuel the narrative that he’s a racist.

Only because he really is racist.

 

[Utility Man]

Wouldn't doubt he (publicly) visits lots of authorities in the coming days so that he can rub his stink on em.......

........guess we'll have to just wait to see how they all come out smelling (to the general public) afterwards.



He probably hasn't had this much fun (putting police at risk) since he got Americans to turn on tesla.

Why on earth would be want to commemorate a group of dumbass traitors who committed one of the the biggest blunders in history?

Because someone told him it would upset the opposition. He isn't bright enough to think it up himself.

NYC has always had Copperheads.

There was serious threat of secession by NYC in the Civil War, once conscription was introduced. New Yawkers were not keen on fighting a war in order that Blacks could come North and compete for their jobs.

Especially the flood of Irish immigrants.

New York lived off the financial engine of slavery and cotton.

There was a faction during the secession crises that wanted to break away from the Union and incorporate Manhattan and Long Island into a State.

They even took a vote on it.

Thankfully it didn’t really go anywhere.

Especially the flood of Irish immigrants.

Who did an old fashioned race riot against African Americans.

We call those the Draft Riots now.
