All this talk by elected government officials & employees to ban this or remove that is not their call. The property & symbols are of and belong to the citizens, it's not their personal inventory to do with whatever they want. The least thing they should be doing is keeping their stupid yaps shut.

If Landrieu had any guts he would demand the LSU change their nickname. LSU chose Tigers in honor of a LA Civil War unit. Replace Geaux Tigers with Geaux Catfish.

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

And that will assure that the Democrats will beat the GOP like a rented mule in 2016 as many just give up on the GOP as anything other than a wing of a Rat run uniparty.

The news media used a single act by a single individual to take away our freedom of speech. If people don’t see now that the media is the enemy and the problem I don’t know when they will.

Democrats like Landrue also join in with the media to take away our rights including freedom of speech.

Robert E. Lee's legacy is one of reconciliation and union.

I could see New Orleanians objecting to a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest or Jubal Early, but not Lee.

That does look like a mob of Democrat voters with the programmed loyalty response at the end.

You need to do a lot of tearing and renaming as every piece of Federal largesse in WV has KKK Byrd’s name on it. For example this,

I remember thinking how stupid and backward the Taliban were when they destroyed those Buddist figures. Our liberals are no better.

“Out of chaos comes order’’ said the Nazis. Who do you think is fomenting this stuff? The modern day Nazis, aka The Democrat Party.
