The headlong rush to silly gestures gets sillier.

I know it’s coming anyway so I’ll mention it: someone will want to destroy Stone Mountain.

Cultural cleansing.

To be replaced by some kind of African hero. Mugabe?

Sounds like ISIS tearing down statues in Iraq.

The left has become our ISIS. Self appointed cultural ‘cleansers’.

Sounds like ISIS-USA at work.
We are entering the dark ages.

Nothing will save that city, nothing, not even a statue of a yellow, flooded school bus.

I cannot believe people are simply standing around while the Left (with assistance from the quivering Right)is allowed to dismantle this country, piece by piece.

Obama is destroying the country, now with assistance from Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, et. al., and now we are systematically purging the America from its history.

The typical liberal response to a tragic circumstance:

1. Blame someone.
2. Tax something.
3. Ban something.
4. Control something.
5. Eagerly await the next tragedy.

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.

Like ISIS and the Taliban destroying ancient monuments the modern Iconoclast movement has its eyes on anything Confederate.

The Left is finding a lot of GOP help with their purge.

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.

And yet rid of Joan of Arc, too. Religious maniac who probably didn’t like muslims.

Symbols do matter but if you’re a Nation that is going to be destroyed by them, that is too weak to survive with them in your presence, you deserve to wither and die,

Does this idiot know anything about Robert E. Lee? Lee headed off any talk of continued guerrilla warfare after Appomattox. More important, he worked assiduously after the war to reconcile Southerners and Northerners. Isn’t that what these left wing loonies claim they want - peace and reconciliation?
