re: #54 Joo-LiZ

I’m a little confused about the point being made.

Are we implying that McDonnell is a neo-Confederate and by extension pro-slavery/closet-racist?

That’s what it looks like, by making the connection first between McDonnell and the Neo-Confederate groups through this oath, then the comments pointing out that one of the most apparent characteristics of the Union vs. Confederates was their respective stances on slavery.

I don’t really have an opinion on McDonnell, I’m just not sure if I am making the right inferences here.

Is it that hard to figure out? There are many in the South who still want to give honor to the Confederacy. The same who constantly complain when their flag isn’t recognized as acceptable. Virginia’s previous Democrat Governors would have NONE of it. Now they have a Repub who is all to happy to tip his hat to racists.

You figure it out.
