However, even ignoramuses like you are entitled to have opinions–like assholes, everyone has one, including you, who apparently has more than one of each–and I’m happy to allow your stupidity to be shared with my readership.

However, should you ever choose to post again, if you attempt to use another idiotic made-up name to post again, your comment will be deleted.

I trust that I have made myself abundantly clear.

You probably won’t post this because your site doesn’t allow anymore than the government preserved hollowed grounds.

There is one unfortunate idea that Mr. Johnston poses. That government take ownership of historic ground. That is exactly what is happening. The Civil War Trust and others don’t accept and take care of the land. They turn it over to the government. Our countryside and towns are becoming like socialistic/communistic countries. Mostly government owned and dictated. Look at Bristow – what a mess!

This Donnie Johnston character is a fool and has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. I have never met any serious preservationist who wants to “glorify” war. We aim to commemorate the fallen and our collective history, and to preserve the past before it is all strip malls and parking lots. And yes, Donnie, we DO commemorate and remember Rev War, WWI, and WWII sites. Has he ever been to Valley Forge, Belleau Wood, or Omaha Beach?

Donnie — go back to yelling at the neighborhood kids for whatever reason and let true historians interpret history and let real Americans help preserve it for generations to come.

It was time to call out such ignorant and provocative comments. So much Civil War acreage has been sold out and paved over in the Fredericksburg area alone that his suggestion that every inch is contested and protected is simply wrong. It comes down to the American issue of rights vs. responsibility, which is an unending conversation. If I “own” something is it mine to do anything I want with it, or do I have a responsibility to modify my behavior to fit into my community? It’s sometimes simplified as Democracy vs. Socialism (an extremely simplistic and inappropriate political view). If American history offers us a model, then veneration of historic sites and a much more communitarian approach would be recognized as proper. If you want to skew American history in a libertarian perspective, then it’s your perfect right to pave the swamp and the battlefield for your own gain, and your neighbors (and nation) be damned. But that’s not an accurate reading.

As the old adage goes, “If you don’t know where you’ve been, you can’t know where you’re headed…” Mr. Johnston obviously has no idea of his own destination, let alone our collective one, informed as it is by honoring our forebears, North and South, and their sacrifice for cause and country. Huzzah to all who help preserve that heritage!
