Vandals have targeted monuments dedicated to the leaders and soldiers of the Confederacy, painting the slogan "Black lives matter" on memorials in a half-dozen states where the landmarks stand tall in parks and outside government buildings.

The graffiti reflects the racial tension that permeates post-Ferguson America, more than a week after a white gunman shot and killed nine black congregants at a Charleston, South Carolina, church.

My country is collapsing faster than did the Soviet Union.

Pains me when I think of all the magnificent Sons of the South who have died for this country SINCE 1865. And this is how they are now treated as a people.

When the era of cheap money is overwith, the big government apparatus will come crashing down big time due to it being unsustainable.

The left gets off on destruction & defacing things, but reading this ever-growing list of targets has made me wonder if this could be part of Cloward-Piven. Repairing, replacing, & moving this stuff is going to cost a *lot* of money. (& then three’s the crony contract angle, too, that would funnel more money into the “right” pockets).

;-) There need to be citizen patrols that come out of nowhere & swarm them, armed with video cameras & cell phones.

It’s like the Nazi street thugs. Hitler suppressed the opposition who just didn’t want to play as rough as he did.

What they really mean is: ONLY black lives matter.

White people have become easy targets. We elect leaders who are unwilling to represent us in any way. The question is if it is intentional or an unplanned inevitable result of the character of people who move up the political ladder.

We all have to step up and say "enough" and stop this assault on our history and traditions. Honoring our past and those who sacrificed to defend us is part of what ties a nation together.

Maybe we should forbid blues or any blues-based music. The birth of the blues is Union band members returning home, pawning their instruments for the money to do so. Many blacks acquired those abandoned instruments and thus began that incredible enduring music and the basis of Rock and Roll. (sarcasm)

The past few days, I've been introspective and sad, way beyond angry or frightened. The nation's going down, and our leaders are so fixated on power that they're stopping anyone and anything that could turn it around.

I’m surprised they are even calling them vandals.

The tenor of this article is a backing of the actions to vandalize monuments. It is almost gleeful.

The revolution will not be televised, because the media will be first....

Wimpy, weak little whiteboys dispensing their perverted brand of liberal guilt. They need to be made to go away, permanently.

"What they really mean is: ONLY black lives matter."

So true. Change the racial makeup of the attackers and victims and the media will either not be interested or spin it that the Whites were provoking the attacks.

Does anybody else get the impression that all of these attacks on the CSA were planned far in advance and they were just waiting for some nut to shoot up a black church so they could implement their plans?
