Attention Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell!

"Confederate" History Month is one of the dumbest ideas in the history of Republican dumb ideas, and your party has had many dumb ideas. This one takes the cake! Personally, I have no problem with your battlefield re-enactments, the battlefield tours etc... Hey! I've been to Gettysburg several times and enjoyed myself. I would even go so far to say that having a "Civil War" history month would be okay as long as it is all inclusive. Might give our high school kids a chance to bone up on their American history a bit. We can even make a national holiday out of it. How about one day in April every year, we have "National Civil War Day" and everybody gets the day off with pay? We could all spend the day with family and friends contemplating those philosophical ideas that tore this country apart and the ones that brought us back together again and then get down on our knees and thank the gods and goddesses/universe/holy heshe/ who ever we be believe in, that we don't live in the "Confederate States of America."
