“Some Will Sell Their Soul For Profit”
It has been debated by many as to how much it takes to sell one’s soul in removing the Confederate monuments in the local cities. The company that removed the Monument from Conyers and then McDonough is Roper and Sons out of Covington, GA. They took money that was freely given by those that call themselves elected officials, to remove essentially grave markers for those troops who died in battles far from home. Those monuments were placed in the towns by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to remember those who did not come home and their bodies were not recovered. They were removed at the bidding of those racist officials who are doing it for political gain and folly. Those who are doing the work think of themselves as just a family trying to do a job, but they are following the unlitigated greed that has caused so much angst and furor among many of the citizens. They see only a way to get rich off the deaths of those ancestors who fought and died for their homes and families. There is no excuse for what is occurring with the removal of those monuments. Here is a good symbolic reference to what has occurred. The commissioners are no different than the Roman ruler of Judea Pontius Pilate. And the people who are removing the monuments are akin to Judas who sold out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Yes, pure old fashioned treachery. Always remember those who did this to the dead.
