We should not forget the Civil War but the relics should remain memorialized in our past. They should not be held up at the forefront to lead us into our future.

Louisville and Berea Kentucky rock. Now if we can pull the rest of the state. Can't wait to vote against McConnell, even made sure my former state they pulled my voters card. Don't trust any of this voting crap anymore, but I will fight them if they try to turn me back.
