Stalin, Hitler, and Mao removed historical figures and fixtures as are today's progressives. When will Grand KKK Wizard Robert Byrd be erased from West Virginia history? Buildings, schools, roads, bridges bear his name.

What's going on today within the hardcore progressive left is disgusting.

“Undeterred by the violence”....the writer is willfully ignorant. The whole point of this statue removal craze is to provoke a reaction.

[Mr. K]

We should burn all books that reference it too.

Anyone who objects to this erasure of history will be painted as a racist white supremacist.

That was the purpose of the play in Charlottesville.

The US Flag is not far behind when it comes to this commie bunch of America HATERS. They will stop at nothing and LE has been ordered to stand down. This is LIBERTY?????

If they could, they would march Leftist non-believers into the countryside for reeducation or purging.

Destroying Heritage: A few years from now we will regret allowing the progressives to convince us to destroy America's heritage. To have a statue or a monument is not to approve what happened, but to remind us of the significance of people and events.

CAUTION: Slow down, America

Disgusting. Anti-American. Evil. These cities that do this should be removed from any government help. Local, State and/or Federal.

I think the Egyptians just gouged out their eyes and nose. Remember Democrats put them up and it looks like they will take them down in the age of so called enlightenment. When you control the media there is only one narrative that is out there and the PC liberal crowd have won that war they will not change, why should they....

[DarthVader]

I think Sessions statement made yesterday is going to cool such behavior. Its National Guard time.

[kabar]

This is all about the Dem agenda to attack and divide the Rep Southern power base and to energize their base. It is all about politics and has very little to do with destroying Confederate historical culture.

Byrd will be gone when WE go out and start pulling down the statues, busts and street signs. Might as well, they don’t prosecute people who do this.

[Bringbackthedraft]

When are the people of Europe going to tear down the statues of the Caesars? I am offended by them, my ancestors were probably slaves that were brought into the Empire. Tear down all of Rome! Burn down Richmond the former capital of the Confederacy again, this time turn it into a potato farm. This is garbage, we need to get back to the Russians, and bathrooms for the different mindsets. It doesn’t take too much smarts to see that the Lunatics have taken over the asylum.

[I want the USA back]

The statues are a symbol of Whitey. They remove the statues now, and find ways to remove Whitey later.

MA 54th Memorial Boston, MA

Ignorant snowflakes, upon looking at this statue in front of the Massachusetts State House, might see this as a very racist statue. I mean...LOOK! The only officer is WHITE, and is riding a horse, while the stereotypically African-Looking grunts are all on foot. And yet, this Memorial is the Pride of Boston's Black Community, as it memorializes the Incredible Courage of Free Men who fought in the War Between the States. Believe me, there HAVE been incidents of vandalism and criticism of this Memorial by some very ignorant people who are definitely NOT Republicans!

Byrd was actually an Exalted Cyclops in the Klan (crazy title, eh?). And what he said about blacks was absolutely disgusting. Any Republican who said 1/10 of what Byrd said would have been banished from public life permanently.

It’s interesting to note that Byrd’s initial statement of “regret” was based not on any moral grounds, but on practical grounds:

“Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don’t get that albatross around your neck. Once you’ve made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena.”

These knaves and fools are just the American Taliban. Erase history if it isn’t something you want to see and impose your perverted viewpoint on everyone.
