Another piece of excellent news regarding statues: the Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery will be put back up!
Last night, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued the following statement:
“I’m proud to announce that Moses Ezekiel’s beautiful and historic sculpture — often referred to as ‘The Reconciliation Monument’ – will be rightfully returned to Arlington National Cemetery near his burial site. It never should have been taken down by woke lemmings. Unlike the Left, we don’t believe in erasing American history – we honor it.”
What happened at Arlington National Cemetery in December of 2023 was one of the absolute worst atrocities committed as part of the statue genocide. Proponents of the genocide frequently argue that statues of unpopular historical figures do not belong in public parks or city squares, and that it is more appropriate for them to be located at museums, battlefields, or cemeteries. But this statue was located in a cemetery, marking soldiers’ graves, and people still demanded that it be removed.
Now, this wrong will be righted. This atrocity will be undone. Just as with the Albert Pike statue that I posted about yesterday, on this monument, the bullies have lost. The trauma inflicted by the statue genocide will never fully heal, and most likely the majority of these sickening instances of destruction will never be reversed. But two particularly despicable instances will actually be reversed, if everything goes according to plan. And that is something that, a year ago, I did not think possible. Things like this are exactly why I voted for Donald Trump. I am thrilled by this amazing news. Hallelujah!
