Liberals are bound and determined to destroy our country’s heritage and history; their idea of American history began when 0bama was immaculated.

Yes-— by BLM and other particularly black so called activists. Because Faneuil was engaged in slavery trade (along with many colonial blacks who owned slaves, as well as white and black indentured servants and those sentenced to “transportation to the colonies”). Hypocrites all of them. Only a step and hop to try to ban all the Founders .

Other statues have been taken down having NOTHING to do with the CSA but... affiliated with the “slavery” issue which was decided by the deaths of 700K plus Americans. Such as:

— the ostensibly “republican” gov of MD, agreed to remove, from the front of the MD assembly building— the statue honoring Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Roger B. Taney (who swore in Lincoln and 7 other Presidents before him) because of..... the Dred Scott Decision (which was not made by him alone!!!). White Maryland guilt— really can’t put it any other way. erase the history then it won’t exist as a full time occupation for non-profits.

—the removal of Georgetown University’s portfolio ownership of tobacco stocks and other “slavery connected” memorials.

—the removal, 2 weeks ago, in Pittsburgh, PA, his home town— a respectful statue dedicated to STEPHEN FOSTER, because of his “racist” songs (ignoring his quite anti-slavery commentary songs for the Christy Minstrels) and because the statue has a “caricature” of a black slave (it doesn’t the man playing banjo is a “rural figure” type— with a slightly broader nose and no other “black” features, seated next to a classically inspired lyre, incorporated into a swirling stalk of cane or palm.

This liberal Taliban history erasing must STOP, because it will not stop its brand expansion to everything about our Founders and Defenders of our Constitutional Republic.

>> He was an Exalted Cyclops

I don’t know about that. Unless it’s another name Kleagle.

Sen. Robert Byrd was one busy Klansman. He was both a Kleagle (a recruiter) and an Exalted Cyclops (a local leader). Here’s the Exalted Cyclops reference:

Absolutely disgusting. An effort to redivide us, and destroy any American future.

Reconstruction & Creating Hate In America Today

Leftist War On Social Continuity

Compulsion For Uniformity

By contrast, see how Booker T. Washington, the great Black educator saw Southern culture:

They are removing all of those except for the one of the KKK recruiter and Hillarys mentor which as you can see here, is being cleaned by a black man while they statue seems to be saying "Git down tha boy, ye missed a spot".

And because of these removals, black men by the hundreds of thousands are now refusing to impregnate any women who are not their wives, and black women are refusing to abort any of their illegitimate offspring, and every black household will have legally married fathers and mothers throughout our great country.

Incredible how those removals have changed the black communities.

Presumably you are being sarcastic on said “dress”. It is well documented that Davis was wearing a riding cloak— a man’s riding cloak. Held over his head in the rain.

He was photographed in this cloak before being imprisoned in Fortress Monroe, VA.

In view of the Soviet style banning and erasure of history- and the Act of Congress that is law (from 1906) which declares that the graves of Confederate and Union veterans are to be treated the same, with headstone and grave maintenance provided in our National Military cemeteries-—

Are you in favor of the perverts (proven sexual perverts) who run the liberal (offshore cash investments proven as well, in the Panama Papers) front group 501 c(3) “non-profit” pushing this clearly Anti-american leftist agenda?

Or perhaps you don’t know who the SPLC is as it expands its BS (the Southern “Poverty” Law Center tells one a lot) communist agenda as it flushes cash donations off shore for personal benefit of their BOD.

Long ago, proud Southern heritage men and women swore allegiance to the USA, and we resent the desecration of our family’s memory, and especially the Cultural Marxists at the SPLC and elsewhere who are out to remove our Constitutional Republic, by removing our proud history. Globalism== no borders world Marxism. Period.

I’ve always said that Confederate monuments are a Democrat issue, for Democrats to decide. I can see that older Democrats might want to remember the past, with all its blemishes, while younger Democrats might want to move on and forget the past. They might even want to rewrite the past, and with their past, who can blame them?

That’s the basis for Trump’s remark that there might be good people, good Democrats, on both sides of the issue. But in my view its strictly a Democrat issue, something they have to come to terms with. I don’t intend to help them forget their past, nor will I let them blame me for it. Its their laundry.

Byrd’s head was NEVER that big— even as he bloviated. What a crappy statue. Really piss poor.

Should have made one to his little dawg...”billy” (on record speech in the Senate well.... to f’n little billy, complete with tears. What a grafter).

when a shooting at a black church in South Carolina energized a movement against such memorials.

Such typical leftist BS. One event has NOTHING to do with the other. The left always finds the excuse to move forward with things that they always wanted to do. It's called never wasting the crisis.

The people you mention are more in the confused category than in the thuggery category. Frankly, they are among the pseudo intellectuals, who allow their attention to be misdirected by a false narratives as to the causation of any problem.

Misdirection: Familiar Leftist Tactic.

I wonder if in their sanctimonious acceptance of false narratives, they have even bothered to consider the Booker T. Washington testimony, linked to my previous post on this thread.

Since the destruction of Planned Parenthood maybe. Not removal of monuments.... that is one hell of a stretch.

Your statement does not reflect the database on mixed births alone, let alone “unaborted” children.

Planned Parenthood’s biggest customer and goal, has always been directed (thanks to Sanger’s eugenics racism) at the poor black unborn, demographically. They just won’t and wouldn’t tell you about that.

You are right. The SPLC makes no exceptions. They hate all patriots, Northern or Southern, Eastern or Western.
