Mississippi–A Warning for Virginians

The proud folks of The Old Dominion turned their state from Blue back to Red in their recent governor’s election. Even more dramatic is the fact that in the last twelve months, voters in various Virginia counties voted overwhelmingly to keep their Confederate monuments! In nine out of nine ballot referendums, the voters spoke, and they spoke with a loud voice! This, of course, is in line with a national poll reported by CNN that 52% of Americans wanted to keep Confederate monuments—this was even true in the New England States! In the South, the percentage in favor was even greater—between 60 to 70%. Traditional American values win when “We the people” are allowed to speak. The folks in Virginia should be proud of their victories. These triumphs are victories for all true Southerners. But with this electoral victory comes a word of caution. It takes more to defeat our enemies than just winning an election or ballot referendums. Our enemy never sleeps. Mississippi is a prime example.
