This is disgusting.

What about the Confederate Museum, Mitch, you rat?

You going to remove that too?

To Hell with this damned people.

Some of us old enough to have lived with the Cold War may remember how the Soviet Union used to “purge” people from historic pictures as they fell from political favor.

We used to mock them for it. Maybe our own nomenclatura need to think about that.

They did, and thought it was a great idea.

If one is going to start applying this test then Jackson Square needs to be renamed and the equestrian statue has to go.

After the war, Lee was an amazing peacemaker.

It was a horrible NY Congresscritter - the awful Elizabeth Holtzman who denied him his citizenship in the 1970s. Another hater and ignoramus of American history.

I don’t think any leftwingnut knows anything about Lee, but even if they did it would not matter because the left wing is not about reconciliation, forgiveness, or getting along. They want conflict and must insure that hate never dies, it is their only source of energy.

“Wait until The Left wants us to go back and change books, photos and films to reflect The New History of America. The South will be gone with the wind.”

It won’t just be the South. Living in California during its transition from Leave It To Beaver to becoming a colony of the Third World I’ve seen what’s likely to come. A lot of the latino demographic has a grievance against America in general. They believe that Mexico’s problems are caused by the United States. Assimilating and embracing our culture isn’t a priority.

This isn’t confined to latinos. A lot of immigrants from the third world are attracted to the leftist critique of America and don’t celebrate our history.

“We have never been a culture, in essence, that revered war rather than peace, division rather than unity.”

`bombs bursting in air” OK, that song’s gonna need some work.
`Don’t worry, be happy’?

The mayor’s comment is itself divisive B.S.

Confederates are pretty much agreed that Lincoln was a war monger.
They were restored to full citizenship.
Is the Lincoln memorial next?

This is a slippery slope the Democrats want to attempt.
We should stay the hell off it.

Arlington used to be Gen. Lee’s estate. Will they move that too?

It’s like an honor roll of spineless, pandering Southerners being laid out for all to see.

Next!

Let’s go one step further, they all get free trips back to Africa and we will pretend they never were here.

The Left is just preparing the way for ISIS by removing strong American symbols about our history so that they can just focus on the Christian symbols when its their turn.
