...rather than that bogus MLK Day?

Happy Birthday and happy LJ Day!!!

Lee-Jackson day of course. It has been a Virginia holiday just about forever.

Yep, I'm celebrating it. Just put my confederate flag up at Midnite. Hopefully I don't hear any complaints from my liberal neighbors tomorrow. I may go up to the battlefield tomorrow afternoon to pay my respects to Lee & Jackson.

Oh I'm sure some hillbilly drunk in Front Royal is hootin and hollerin his praises.

You gotta love the four day weekend if you work for the state, most county workers get today dff around the state as well. The big celebration is in lexington, I am heading there in a few hours.

I am, in the name of celebrating diversity. Funny, though how those that seem to yell diversity and tolrance the loudest hate this holiday.

Lee-Jackson Day is a Virginia state holiday affecting state agencies. Local government offices are not closed and local workers do not get the day off.

Lee-Jackson Day has been celebrated annually and independently from 1904-1982. From 1983-1999 it was celebrated on the same day as the Martin Luther King federal holiday. Since 2000 the Virginia holiday has again been separate on the Friday before M.L. King Day.

If the Government closes for lee - jackson day, it should also close for hitlers birthday. All 3 were biggots.

Just curious how do you feel about George Washingtons birthday being he was a slave holder? Any issues about Thomas Jeffersons home being on the nickel as he was a slaveholder as well and fathered children with his female slaves?

Always nice to celebrate traitors to the Union.

BTW they lost the war.....

Then you obviously know nothing about Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

I never have before.

But if it pisses off the libtards then I'll give it a try.

The first rule when using the word "biggot" should be the correct spelling. Obviously a Fairfax County Public Schools graduate.

He probably thinks the Civil War was about slavery, too.

Thanks OP, I would have missed it.

Happy Birthday Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee.

Uhhh...clearly you don't know much about historical figures. Henry Ford hated the Jews. So did Winston Churchill. T.S. Eliot didn't much care for them either.
And the list goes on.
There are many 'bigots' in history. Being a 'bigot' doesn't mean your life was insignificant.

Also: Yes, we should make Hitler's birthday a holiday - I've wanted the government to make 4/20 an official holiday for as long as I can remember.

To those of you saying Lee was a bigot and that today is "slavery day" - You are fucking retards.

“There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil.”
-Robert E Lee

"So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained."
-Robert E Lee

Only in America will you find people so devoted to celebrating traitors.

Of course the majority of them are low IQ southern rednecks, but it is unique nonetheless.

there was nothing redneck about Lee and Jackson, they are great Virginia statesmen in the line of George Washington and Patrick Henry. if anyone is a traitor it is Abraham Lincoln. There should also be a day celebrating John Wilkes Booth. His assasination of Abraham Lincoln is the equivalent to the mission of Seal Team Six.However don't be quick to bash MLK JR. He too is my hero as he successfully showed people the practice of civil disobedience, although he unfortunately bashed homosexuals sometimes. I think all 3 men should be celebrated for their respective casues.

I work for Fauquier county and have never worked LJ day in 20+ years. There are a few backward counties like Fairfax and Arlington that choose to ignore history. Some employees such as deputy's have to work but they get an extra day of leave to use before the end of the fiscal year.

It's called The War of Northern Aggression. Thank you.

"...I work for Fauquier county and have never worked LJ day in 20+ years. There are a few backward counties like Fairfax and Arlington that choose to ignore history. Some employees such as deputy's have to work but they get an extra day of leave to use before the end of the fiscal year..."

This is Fairfax Underground -- not godforsaken Fauquier County underground. Fairfax County, Herndon, Vienna, Fairfax City, Falls Church City -- all were open for business last Friday. Most Virginia localities do not have a special celebration for or recognition of the Lee-Jackson Day state holiday. Although some typically rural backwards localities do celebrate it.

Just curious how do you feel about celebrating Washingtons birthday since he was a slave holder.

Also FYI:
If schools still taught history you would know most major roads in Alexandrias west end were named after Confederate Generals. I bet that really frosts your nuts WTL

Not really. I just think it is funny Southerners still hold two traitors who failed and contributed to setting the South back 100 years as heroes.

Even funnier you would choose to locate in such a state. BTW nice dodge on the Washington question.

You do realize that West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri were all slave states that stayed in the Union or in the case of West Virginia, was created during the war. And, that Abe Lincoln did not consider blacks to be equal to whites. In fact, most people of that time held that view. Now, who seems ignorant and hateful?

More history to piss off the haters... One of the largest Statues in Washington DC is that of a former Confederate officer. When the Lincoln Monument was dedicated in the early 1920's, the Federal Government segregated blacks from the rest of the crowd.

President Wilson's 1913 purge of blacks from federal government work eliminated many prestigious jobs for them. The violence against blacks following World War I included a race riot that raged for five days, provoked by false reports of black men attacking white women. The attacks by whites inspired blacks to take up arms against them . . . . But the lowest moment of the era in D.C. race relations occurred at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922, when blacks were segregated from the main audience by a rope and a dirt road, and a black speaker at the event honoring the president who freed the slaves could not even sit on the dais. Ellington and band members Sonny Greer and Otto Hardwicke left Washington for New York shortly after this event. [Duke Ellington's America , p. 22]

There is an annual birthday celebration for Robert E. Lee that is held at the Capitol Building(yes, the Federal Capital Building). Dixie is song and Confederate Flags are displayed.

How would you know about the holiday (obviously I do) in Richmond? Our liberal rag of a paper has not mentioned it in years. I used to defend the Richmond Times Dispatch. Not anymore. The RTD sucks in so many ways and this is just one of them.

How come we don't celebrate other enemies of America?

Sir William Howe Day?
Heinrich Himmler Day?
Erwin Rommel Day?

What other favorite enemies of America would you like to remember?

Please Mr. Knowledgeable, explain how a British or German general who slaughtered Americans is different from one who defected from their country and proceeded to slaughter Americans?

You Confederate apologists are pathetic.

I'm celebrating Benedict Arnold/John Walker Lindh Day*.

Agreed. The CSA was a foreign country that murdered Americans on American soil. Technically speaking, how does this make Lee different from Bin Laden or Tojo?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/13-11.htm

um no, Abraham Lincoln invaded the south dumbass, the Southern people were defending their land from an oppressive tyrannical government. How does that make them terrorists. The fault here lies with the north, not the south- Southern values and states rights are more in line with an American tradition. The South was fighting for freedom from fear and aggression.

i repeat: there should also be a holiday celebrating John Wilkes Booth. Abraham Lincoln and his left wing government terrorized southenr people, jailed civilians without trials, burned down my hometown of Atlanta, ravaged the farms of Shenanadoah Valley and on and on and on--i'm tired of all these Northern sympathizers- what u all did is unexcusable, pathetic, and tyrannical.

Utterly worthless rubbish.

Wow, how many new usernames did Meade add to his list today?

This is America, we don't celebrate defeatism or defeatist causes, or failures or losers, or botched battles or leaders who make very poor decisions that have an impact on generation to come.

'Slaughtered'? It's a war. Those Americans that were 'slaughtered' would have and did do the same thing you're vilinizing others for doing.

I celebrated by having my own men accidentally shoot me and watching my front yard be turned into a cemetery.
