So It’s Not Just Me

I also get creeped out when I’m driving on Jefferson Davis highway.

We just got back from a trip to eastern North Carolina. Not the first time I’ve been, but I’m always moved by the friendliness, hospitality and charm I find there. That is the true Southern Heritage, not treason, hate and bigotry.
I also find the term “War of Northern Aggression” amusing. Must be in some other history book where the Federal Army fired on itself at Fort Sumter.
There is a crossroads in Selma Alabama where Jeff Davis Road intersects MLK Blvd. One of the stranger things I’ve seen…..
I haven’t read this yet, but I saw the author interviewed on Tony Brown’s Journal. Two wrongs don’t make a right and seccession is part of our legacy, but:

It’s interesting that Lee Highway becomes Washington Street in the city of Falls Church. So at least one small section of the south has had patriots in charge, at least when that street was named.
I have absolutely no problem with this.
This IS the highway that runs straight into a sewage treatment plant, right?
Oh, hell, let’s go all out. Let’s name the exits, too! Benedict Arnold Exit, John Walker Exit, John Wilkes Booth Exit, a few more for the Rosenbergs, James Earl Ray, and the newest for John Walker Lindh.

Davis and Lee should have been hung for treason.
Jeff Davis is also in Statuary Hall. Why do people who claim to be patriots wave the battle flag of a country that went to war against the United States? Never could parse that one out.
Of course, there are people in this country who would have less difficulty with my owning my husband that my being married to him, so go figure.
Let us not forget all the military post south of the Mason-Dixon line named after traitors.
I overlooked this post earlier. With ol’ Jeff getting a highway, it’s clearly time for me to contact my newly minted Democratic Senator Specter and start the ball rolling for an Eldridge Cleaver Parkway.
How do y’all think that’ll go over? Both Rebels against the Federal government, both got some folks killed and both really upset the political order. Or should I go for renaming Highway One the Angela Davis Memorial Highway?
zak, I’m betting Chicago will get a William Ayers Parkway shortly…

J, how silly is it to compare a guy who did relatively little damage, including loss of life, to a guy that led a national rebellion to preserve the right to own human beings, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives? The two are not morally equivalent. Not even close.
