Remember when in the 1980s ? the Taliban destroyed all those statutes in Afghanistan because they wanted to wipe out history.

This is exactly what these idiots are doing, and if you think they will stop at this. YOU BETTER THINK ABOUT IT.

You know how much the "progressives hate the Constitution, don't you?

They will not rest until they have declared the Constitution as unconstitutional.

Before you liquidate a people you need to unhinge them from their sense of attachment to a SHARED PAST.

It’s like cutting the anchor chain.

A boat adrift is much easier to do away with.

Taliban is exactly what I was thinking when this nonsense started.

Fascists, thugs, and terrorists are the same all over the world, regardless of what they call themselves.

History will mark a time when democrats try to distance themselves from this foolishness, just as they do for most of their past behavior.

I am a yankee! I was born in Pennsylvania. We have paperwork for several members of the family who were wounded during the civil war.
I object to the tearing down of statues from the period. It is foolish to think that this will revise history in any way. I think it would be better to leave them standing to remind us of the mindset of the men who fought the civil war.
Black people were slaves. Nobody can change that. Tearing down the statues won’t do it. Leave them. Leave them as a reminder of who they were and what they stood for. That is a better option.

Today I decided my garden gnomes were pissing me off and offending me. I went out and tore them down and spit on them as I was cussing foul words at them.

As someone commented on another thread, it’s going to be really difficult dynamiting two of the busts at Mt. Rushmore while leaving the other two in place.

These people are so dumbed down and illiterate, and can’t/don’t read books, it is their version of book burning (credit to Lionel).

Where are the Hollywood types defending the Arts?

Where are the Historians decrying the destruction of history?

Where are the pols decrying “the rule of the mob?

(Yeah, I know they never were serious people in the first place)

There were 2 million Union soldiers and 800,000 Confederate. The boys in gray were mostly poor illiterate farmers - many conscripted. Most soldiers were not slave owners (if a southerner owned 15 or more slaves they were exempt from serving) and were more concerned about their family and fields than politics. The statues need to stay because people need to know what happened. People need to put themselves in my g-g-grandmothers’ shoes - her brothers fought for the Confederacy while her husband died for the Union.

If we could just get people to pause and think...
