Was Larry Verne a Democrat?
According to Wikipedia: "Unlike much of Virginia, Charlottesville was spared the brunt of the American Civil War. The only battle to take place in Charlottesville was the skirmish at Rio Hill, an encounter in which George Armstrong Custer briefly engaged local Confederate home guards before he retreated. The mayor surrendered the city to Custer's men to keep the town from being burned."
Times change. And, we are all familiar with the culmination of Custer's military career. Is that where the state of Virginia is headed?
In 2013, the year that Larry Verne died, the "people" of Virginia elected the proclaimed hustler Terry McAuliffe as their governor.
We see what happens when the "progressive" man-made change in the social climate places the destruction of historical markers ahead of infrastructure maintenance, but that's the Democratic way, right?
The irony in the current unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia (trigger-word alert) lies in the fact that the state of Virginia has a Democrat governor; the city of Charlottesville has a Democrat mayor; yet, according to CNN, the blame for the turmoil in that jurisdiction belongs to a Republican president.
Here is an example of the Democrat's version of "responsibility" when there is a Democrat in the White House:
The 'Great Society' has become a cesspool of vitiation and denial!
I'll let Larry Verne have the final word:
