[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did I ever defend Lee as a name.  I do have to admit it is an appropriate albatross to hang on the neck of the Democrats.

Frankly, the easiest solution would be to just rename the W-L mascot to the "Traitors."[/quote]

Ok. Let’s rename the high school then. End of discussion.

You can go start a new thread to whine about how you’ve been wronged by Ds.  :roll: [/quote]

What?  Just because one person who doesn't give two shits about the name says that we should end the discussion?  Typical fascist Democratic behavior!  I grew up in the Midwest, so this expression of Southern pride means nothing to me.  That some Southern folks express pride in their military accomplishments doesn't bother me in the slightest.  The South has to mean something other than slavery and to recognize does not minimize the evils of slavery.  The ability of people to only see this in such a black and white terms truely astonishes me.  Calling anyone with a different perspective evil and a defender of slavery certainly does seem to shut down discussion.  Isn't it any wonder that we cannot have civilized discussions anymore in this country and specifically in Arlington?  Who really are the fascists around here always seeming to want to shut down differing opinions?[/quote]
