Calvin Freiburger writes that leftists have been working up a sweat screaming at people and tearing down statues to protest Confederate symbolism that still stands in various communities across America. Now one man is responding with a far more civil and dignified, but no less physically laborious, protest of his own.

WISTV reports that Kevin Patrick Thomas Walker of Cleves, Ohio has taken to marching along State Route 128 for several hours at a time, multiple times a week, adorned in Confederate military gray, the Stars & Bars hung over his shoulder.

Oh, and he does all this despite needing a cane for a bad leg.

“This is history,” Walker said. “Stop getting your panties in an uproar, America.” TRENDING: Chicago-Area Police Chief Fired After Posting Anti-Looting Meme on Facebook Walker said that his goal is to get attention so he can spread his message. However, not everyone agrees with Walker’s demonstration, his opinions or his outfit. “Most people cheer,” Walker said. “I’ve had the finger a couple times.” “I think people are offended more so than supporting him,” Steve Hannon, who stopped to ask Walker what his purpose was, said. “I think because of the Confederate flag and the Confederate garb.” Walker, who admits his route could be dangerous, said that despite differing positions on the issues, he won’t be giving up his hike anytime soon. “This country is crazy, man,” Walker said. “We are fighting each other instead of working with each other.”

The good news is that despite the volume of the protestors and the amplifying they’ve gotten from the media, this really isn’t a major concern for the American people — polls show the majority thinks monuments should be left alone, and it’s likely that even most people who would answer that they should go would also answer that their removal is pretty low on their priority list.

Nevertheless, if anything can get people who still think these monuments somehow perpetuate modern-day racism to just maybe open their minds up a little bit, the sight of a man quietly subjecting himself to both physical strain and public ridicule, without harming anyone, to prove his point would have to stand pretty strong odds.
