For Shame Madison City Council...

Last Memorial Day, I posted about the Confederate Rest Cemetery in Madison, Wisconsin.  This is a POW cemetary in Madison, Wisconsin.  A local Madison woman, Alice Whiting Waterman, who was from the South, at her own expense, marked the graves and also put up a monument of the fallen soldiers names (she is also interned there). Shamefully, the Madison City Council wants to remove that memorial. Our so called leaders in Madison today are not decent people.

This is all about cheap virtue signaling and posing by the Madison City Council.  Consider how Madisonians reacted back in the day when the POWs first arrived? All this present action does is confirm that the current Madison City Council are small, churlish, and unworthy of any honor. You disgrace yourself with this act.

While far from the fighting, there was a prisoner of war camp in Madison during the Civil War.  Many of the wounded prisoners were in poor physical shape and about 140 died and were buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. 

Madisonian Alice Whiting Waterman did not know the men who died, but she was from the South.  She made sure the graves were maintained and procured permanent headstones at her own expense.  She was also interred there, as the guardian of Confederate Rest.

Madison Downfall Ann Althouse Closes Her Comments

Update:

I didn't get small, the commentators did...

Ann Althouse responds: 

I know there are some people who would love to discourage me, but that's irrelevant. Those who buy nothing through the Amazon portal make no impression — whether they hate me or have never heard of me. Those who do buy are saying: I care about this blog, and I want it to continue to be there every day, as it has been for nearly 10 years (without a single missed day). I hear you.

h/t to Trooper York for the Norma Desmond reference!   I think she is ready for her close up...

Never admit you are wrong!
