American history in particular and western history generally are being purged to make room for the Frankfurt School's multiculturalist narrative. As usual, they go after the easiest targets (Confederate heroes) first, but their real goal is to purge the collective memory of all traditional heritage and culture.

Yesterday they came for statues of Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis. Today, they're for tearing down statues of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson. It won't end until all such statues and monuments are replaced with monuments to the heroes of the New Left and Multiculturalism.

I’m offended by communists but half of Congress is not going to be thrown out, are they?

Can we petition to dig up Robert Byrd and have him moved to the compost pile?

the civil war was STATES RIGHTS vs FEDERAL INFRINGEMENT ON SAME
the wrong side won.......
slavery was NEVER THE ISSUE

SO since that time the Federal government has been operating UNCONSTITUTIONALLY and look at the cesspool we have today
ABORTION - STATE ISSUE
WELFARE- STATE ISSUE
SODOMITE MARRIAGE - STATE ISSUE
DEATH SENTENCE - STATE ISSUE
on and on and on

I’m not endorsing it but it appears that the only way you can get things accomplished in your favor is to physically protest and maybe even burn something, just sayin.

“Nathan Bedford Forrest is a symbol of bigotry and racism...

Lie.

Its the same discussion I had with Chapel Hill, when they wanted to rename the main road to be Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard. I got them to plausibly consider in a town hall meeting that perhaps all other streets could in fact be determined to be racist, and that the only solution was to name every street Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard. Some of them took me seriously, and I’m still surprised that there are other road names allowable in Chapel Hill.

Not from that area, but someone ought to show up with a doll and pointedly ask those people:

Among the men revered by the generations that grew up in mid-20th-century America, five categories seem destined for execration:

Explorers like Columbus who conquered the indigenous peoples. Slave owners from 1619 to 1865. Statesmen, military leaders and all associated with the Confederacy. All involved in the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Native-Americans, like Gens. William Sherman and Phil Sheridan who said, “The only good Indian is a dead Indian,” and acted on that maxim.

Lastly, segregationists. There is a move afoot to take the name of Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia, an opponent of civil rights laws, off the Senate Office Building to which it has been affixed for 40 years.

Not really sure Calhoun and Taney are the same as Columbus and Henry Hudson or Washington and James Madison. Or that people who are primarily famous as segregationists really count among "America's Heroes."

I'd keep Russell's name on the office building, since he was a distinguished senator, but I don't think anybody was ever going to propose making his birthday a national holiday.

All this has already happened to the Puritans, though. When was the last time you heard a good word about them (especially from some of the people who are complaining the loudest now)?

Yeah, we need a statue of that Mike Brown thug bastid from Ferguson.

He was a good boy, dindu nuffin. Helped little old ladies cross the street.
