PHOENIX - The Confederate monument that stands at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza, just outside the Arizona state Capitol, looked a little different than it usually does Tuesday evening.

In addition to its memorializing of Arizona Confederate soldiers and its erectors, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the statue got a few new decorations.

If the Democrats want to protest a culture that kept slaves and fought a war with the US, then they should go protest the Indian Reservations.

We are still giving them government money.

I like it.

Surely the monument is being disrespected, but it is not being destroyed.

I’m just surprised the Daughters of the Confederacy was bothering to put up this monument in 1961. In Arizona, of all places.

“Remember when this controversy used to be funny?”


Remember when liberals actually had a sense of humor?

That, btw, is the surest way to determine who is a Leftist vs. who isn’t - no sense of humor automatically makes one a Leftist.

Until the Department of Justice says Mr. Fields attack was not an act of terrorism, it’s an act of terrorism.

People from the West did participate. Some had to come clear across the country.
