It is NOT just the Left that is trying to tear down history. REPUBLICAN governors and pols are doing their share in having statues removed, placards replaced, buildings renamed, etc.

This is NOT a Left v Right issue. Many of those on the Right are so afraid of being labeled racist that they are leading the charge in many states, counties, towns.

I do suppose that is true, but it comes from a place of fear. Fear that it can no longer be stopped and if one complies, ...well, death is a few more days away. I think it actually is fear of being killed or socially destroyed by these revolutionaries. They are trying to keep the peace today, when they should be trying to keep the peace for tomorrow’s children.

I knew when Trump took office we’d have this ‘fight,’ I pray everyday God gives Trump/Pence the wisdom to lead us through it ...May God Save the Republic.

Lincoln had to enact emergency powers, those same powers enacted today ...can one even contemplate the reaction? they already think Trump is some totalitarian dictator in the make... Yes, we are in deep, deep trouble.

Fools and cowards, just hoping the crocodile eats them last.

In Tennessee, Governor Bill Haslan has called for review of all Confederate icons for removal.

And yes, he is a Republican governor.....
