DC: Antifa clashed with white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., over a statute of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, but the state itself is named after the woman who brought slavery to the Americas.
Queen Elizabeth I, also known as The Virgin Queen, reigned from 1533 to 1603 and sponsored the expansion of the English slave trade into the British colonies of America and India, according to the national archives of the U.K. When Virginia gained statehood 1788, it owed its name to the late queen.
Antifa, a violent group of left-wing radicals who are known to destroy symbols they deem “problematic,” has yet to voice concerns about two of America’s most storied states paying homage to the Virgin Queen. MORE
You coulda had Ken Cuccinelli as governor, but you fucked up and elected a Clintonista.
So suffer.
IQs are dropping. Virginia did not “gain statehood in 1788”.
Daily Caller is declining fast. Its pieces now increasingly read like they were written by Huffpo millenial SJWs.
Not just the noticeable overall tilt to the Left, but the astonishing ignorance of 6th grade history, geography, etc.
Virginia is a red state except for deep staters in the D.C. suburbs, Charlottesville and a couple of urban areas.
Look at our state seal. It depicts the overthrow of the crown. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_and_seal_of_Virginia
Impeach McAuliffe!
McAuliffe is term limited. He’s gone in January. Unfortunately Ed Gillespie is the republican nominee to replace him. He’s a walking snooze button
HEY ANTIFA ASSHOLES!!
YOU WANT TO BE OF ACTUAL HELP?? GO AFTER THE OPPRESSION OF WOMEN, GAYS, AND TRANSGENDERS!! GO AFTER MASS MURDER IF INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN!! GO AFTER HONOR KILLINGS!! GO AFTER FEMALE MUTILATION!! GO AFTER GOAT ABUSE!! YES, I’M TALKING ABOUT TAKING ON ISLAM, YOU MINDLESS MORONS!!!!
The Indians were slave holders also. But I’m sure since theirs were other Indians and Whites, that doesn’t count.
The left should be complaining about slavery in the Middle East and Africa. They must call for a boycott and not allow immigrants in from any of the countries that have slaves. Oh, Islam is okay with slavery and would probably reinstate it here if they could. Never mind.
Antifa ain’t ignorance, they got some edummcation!
Most States have Indian names,as do many counties and towns. A bunch of cities have problematic names and histories (e.g. Chicago) We’ll have a lot of reconciliating and reconstructing to do after the Great Peoples’ Uprising on Nov 4.
The latinos wiped out the aztecs and incas. Let’s ban ALL latino names and monuments.
Our President was totally correct in pointing out that the violent riots from all sides has to stop. He was also correct in pointing out the Left’s assholish zeal to tear down our symbols and statues.
Basically, Prez Trump said, “If this keeps up, where does this shit stop?”
I’ve said several years ago after the church shooting in So Carolina that the Left will soon go after companies, towns and streets with “un-PC” names. For example, anything with the word “Dixie” in it. Winn-Dixie, watch out! Old Dixie Highway in Florida. Anything with Lee, Beauregard, Jackson, Forrest (but not Mansfield Lovell, dammit! He was the Rodney Dangerfield of Confederate Generals)
Hey Rufus, whose IQ is dropping? Maybe the word statehood stumped you. It’s not talking about the year 1607 when it was settled.
Date of Statehood: June 25, 1788

Let’s make Virginia the official sanctuary state of the US.
Ship ’em in………
