MEDIA LOVES NEW ORLEANS MAYOR STILL FIGHTING CIVIL WAR

This weekend, he will continue his crusade on the national stage, restarting the Civil War, reopening old racial wounds, but revealing his political ambition, his only true interest

As the Robert E. Lee monument was being removed last Friday, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave a victory speech to a select group of supporters at Gallier Hall, ironically, a former slave auction house.

In the last week, the speech received lavish praise from the liberal media, both locally and nationally. Landrieu received glowing tributes throughout the mainstream news media, from the pages of the liberal Times Picayune in New Orleans to the editorial page of the liberal New York Times.

Thank you for posting. Buchanan is dead on. Since the 60’s the Left (and the communists, their pals) have painted (using the conveniently re-constituted Indiana based 1925 Klan, who abused the Battle Flag of the Army of N. VA.)has driven racial divide for political reasons and the “solid” Democrat south. A South that continues to fight the overwhelming federal government and its abuses.

Essential to remove the “symbolism” of national leaders (like the former Commandant of West Point, R.E. Lee, still studied in warfare classes there), to erase history in the guise of “righting the wrong of... slavery” (a monumental conceit, sorry for the pun) to continue to keep the region... down. God forbid what would be the Progressive/communist’s reaction to a Convention of States to release the stranglehold of overbearing federal power (Amendment 17, for example). They fear this the most.

The South has to be broken of the vestiges of indepenence from the federal State. Next will come true Conservatives. Nothing to stand in the way of “yankee” (pardon my regionalism, but it does originate in the Harvard and Yale yards) Progressivism and their handmaidens, the marxists who have long used the race divide and union organizing on that basis to divide the entire country- not just the South.

Landrieu doesn’t stand a chance in hell of ever being anything more than what he is now. In the context of the coming changes for the next 8 plus years? Never will happen. But we can plan on the Left becoming more violent against our Republic.

And a female Democrat is running for Lieutenant Governor in the Virginia primaries on the promise to eradicate all monuments, streets, highways and other facilities named after any Confederate soldier or politician. The nice thing is she has 2 Dem opponents and the Lt. Gov. has no authority except to preside over the Virginia Senate and go to official ceremonies.
