A federal court ruling issued Tuesday (Jan. 26) has killed an attempt by supporters of four Confederate monuments in New Orleans to prevent Mayor Mitch Landrieu from taking them down.
The lawsuit from the Monumental Task Committee, Louisiana Landmarks Society, Foundation for Historical Louisiana and Beauregard Camp No. 130 challenged whether the city had the legal standing to remove the monuments, among other points. The City Council voted 6-1 last month, at the mayor's request, to declare as public nuisances monuments to Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, P.G.T. Beauregard and the Battle of Liberty Place, allowing the city to remove them from public spaces.

They want to take down the Andrew Jackson statue, Bienville, you name it. Wipe out history.
Remove all those monuments to MLK and all MLK street signs as well.
My tagline.
So Lee Circle and Jackson square don’t have Lee or Jackson? Do they know that Jackson wasn’t in the civil war?
The people of New Orleans elected the son of a bitch. They deserve what he does to them. I don’t know what they are crying about. They got what they voted for.
What does the Great One think about this.
actually i would like to know what trump AND cruz think about this nonsense.
like i said, mlk used to beat the @#$# out of hookers, can we take down every highway and avenue sign (usually in horrific neighborhoods) down?
Obviously, removing the monuments changes nothing....what a sad state of affairs.
It’s a “chocolate” city so naturally they don’t like the monuments since, like Sheila Jackson Lee, they’re all freed slaves.
But the problem is all the lilly livered whites that go along with them.
And ALL of the Southern cities are just like New Orleans. And ALL of the monuments will be coming down.
The Federal Court that made this decision is as bad as ISIS. This is what Democrat elected officials and affirmative action preferences gets the country.
New Orleans is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. It is a dirty rat infested liberal hell hole. I hate going there, I just don’t see why anyone would risk their life going there for a vacation.
Maybe they will rename them after Benjamin Butler
I understand how it goes. I just do not like it.
They destroy our history and heritage.
We need to respond by destroying their history, their culture, their beliefs, their very souls. The lives of each of these cultural-marxists who wish to erase American history to pave the way for their Mao-style utopia need to be rendered an unending hell.
Doing ISIS work at home.
Wipe out *white* history, specifically. If those statues come down, I expect to see a public gloat-fest for the ages.
The people who elected him are getting what they wanted.
Your complaint is a tautology, or something.
Thanks TigerClaes for posting!
Ping to Nathan Bedford..
