A Republican lawmaker who says he's grown weary of what he calls "Confederate cleansing" is working to preserve the famous carving of Robert E. Lee and other Confederate leaders on Georgia's Stone Mountain.
"I'm tired of the anti-Confederate rhetoric toward Stone Mountain and any other Confederate monument that's out there," state Rep. Tommy Benton told the Morris News Service. "We're entitled to our heritage just like other people are entitled to theirs, and there seems to be an attempt to do Confederate cleansing."
He continued: "I refer to that more as cultural terrorism than anything. They're attacking us for no reason at all. We've not done anything to provoke them or anything else. They're very similar to what's going on in the Middle East with ISIS that's destroying all those mosques and temples and everything because they don't agree with that history over there, so they're just destroying it and doing away with it."

I can do without Jefferson Davis. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson were among the very finest men and finest leaders in American history. Davis gets to stay because it is cultural Philistinism to purge history of reference to those as to whom we may have little respect. The inclusion of Davis may be seen as demonstrating a major burden under whom far better and nobler men such as Lee and Jackson labored.
Grant’s wife is claimed to have owned two slaves rented to Southern Illinois coal mines. Lincoln’s widowed sister-in-law owned slaves in Kentucky (a state exempted from the Emancipation Proclamation) and lived in his White House.
Lawrence was payback.

The Duke: "Same here.
There are many more CBF's flying around here in W. TN than US Flags.
Most in private yards."
Confederate & US flags flying side by side on houses & pickups in many central PA small towns.
Either that or every Confederate monument in every courthouse square in the South. Once the PC killjoys get a bee in the bonnets about something they won’t stop.
I’m surprised there weren’t massive protests against it.
Are people just biding their time for a friendly president and justice department?
it’s ABSURD. But then, I’m one of the few northerners who wished the confederates won.
Freaking people in NY. I’ve had at least a dozen argument with so called “liberals” who stated that southern rural folk aren’t as smart as Northern city people.
Yet, I need an encyclopedia and dictionary to follow half the threads here when it comes to science, math. physics, the military, history, astronomy, archaeology etc.
idiots.
One is an atheist communist who was born Jewish but left the faith. he did tons of overtime and sent his kids to a catholic school because it was the best in his neighborhood!
