The Taliban Wing of American Politics.

Disgusting and alarming.

Apparently, something as innocuous, decent and humane as a plaque paying tribute to the valor of Confederate prisoner of war dead in Madison, Wisconsin needs to be stripped from sites where it has been for 150 years.

This is disgusting and alarming moral panic that insults the memory of Abraham Lincoln and impoverishes future Americans.

This is a cemetery to Confederate soldiers who died in Madison Wisconsin as prisoners of war during the Civil War.

Up until this month, that little cement marker had a plaque that commemorated the dead soldiers who had fought "valiantly."

Now, America is engaged in "Confederate-shaming" and is repudiating the human decency that our ancestors were able to demonstrate after a bloody Civil War.

Worse, America is in a moral panic at the behest of a small minority of Communists, fellow travelers and useful idiots.

Our ancestors may have made mistakes, but they were better people than we are.
