[PROCON]

How I despise liberals and liberalism.

It takes no intelligent thought whatsoever to be a liberal, only emotionally charged self-righteousness.

[VerySadAmerican]

Haven’t you heard? The War Between the States didn’t happen. I don’t know how they’re going to keep blaming the Confederate battle flag for attacks in the future.

[cicero2k]

Orwell’s grave just stirred.

[donozark]

This stuff is all a bunch of horse shit. And my Great Grandfather and all my kinfolk fought for the North. Re-writing history. Even National Cemeteries no longer to place Confederate Flags on graves of long dead Soldiers of the Confederacy. And absolute disgrace.

I just want to RALPH on the ACLUseless and all their types.

Jackson Square will be renamed Rainbow Roost. And Le Vieux Carre is ageist, so it should be Ville d'age mur.

[NFHale]

Why don’t the people of New Orleans consider removing the politicians that consider removing those monuments?

Whatever party they may be.

There comes a time when folks have to step up and draw a line.

[StoneWall Brigade]

This is an outrage pure and simple.

Hey kids! Isn’t erasing ourselves FUN?!

[Mat_Helm]

Morons!

[TigerClaws]

City is overrun with crime, corruption, and debt. What are they worrying about? A statue.

If they are turning their backs on their history then raze the French Quarter since the French owned slaves and were much worse slaveholders than the colonists.

If you are going to wipe it out, wipe it all out.

[apocalypto]

This is sick. It is our history!

Louisiana Desecration of a Grave statute

Problem is it is OK if “authorized”

These Barbarians will definitely authorize their barbarity

Jindal has to stop it

[manc]

this crap is still going on!!!

[odawg]

Well, that is one way to stop Islamic terrorism, and it is second only to stopping the burning of fossil fuels. Outlawing air conditioning will be the straw on the camel’s back.

[Moonman62]

Look how abolishing the Confederate flag brought peace to Chicago.

[BlessedBeGod]

Is Georgia going to sandblast Stone Mountain?

[SkyDancer]

Next up? Revolutionary war memorials because libs say George Washington was a terrorist.

[Altura Ct.]

Everybody should be fighting this. In case you haven’t noticed this is not just about Confederate flags and symbols. The Marxist and America haters are coming after it all. From the American flag and founders to anything else considered ‘racist’. Time for the white man to stand up.

What people seem to forget is the Confederate officers in the Civil War were still highly respected men after the war.

Jefferson Davis had his bond ($100,000) paid by highly respected men like Horace Greeley and Cornelius Vanderbilt, and eighteen other Union industrialists.
According to an old newspaper article, the reason Jefferson Davis was never tried for treason was that Salmon P Chase, Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, asked the other justices “Can a man who is not a citizen of the USA be tried for treason?” The answer was NO.

Then he asked “Where in the Constitution is it said a person is a citizen of the USA? A person is a citizen of the STATE he lives in!”
The other justices agreed. So Jefferson was never tried for treason.

It was AFTER THIS that the 14th Amendment was passed, defining citizens as citizens of the USA and States.
