You can vote at their website.

Up to local folks. They can honor who they want. As long as it’s done through public forum and not just councilmen or what not on their own.

[SMARTY]

Aren’t Civil War soldiers ‘American Veterans’?

[mulligan]

No.

[raiderboy]

Someone is going to get hurt screwing with our revered monuments.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I was born in Wisconsin but have lived in Virginia most of my adult life.
I was already a history buff when I moved into the middle of all of this history and I immersed myself in it.
I have given thousands to the Civil War Trust to preserve battlefields all over.
I am a Yankee who thinks tearing down Confederate monuments is an abomination.

[Vaquero]

I don’t see it. Where

[DIRTYSECRET]

Doesn’t matter what the public thinks. These whakos will not stop at anything to take them down. Just put a fence around them and fill the space in-between with barbed wire. City councils are too scared to stand up for anything.

I searched the link for 5 minutes.

Where is this poll?

[Sequoyah101]

ergo, like me, you must be a racist.

[A_Former_Democrat]

That’s what they want

I just told my wife that’s the next bait to come. Piss off someone enough to shoot a “hero”

Just like Heather Heyer, create another sacrificial lamb. Who cares? To them, the proletariat are just pawns in the power game.

Meanwhile, the cold blooded racial killing in Jackson, MS will get ignored, as well the Islamic terrorism in Europe

[CygnusXI]

Side bar on right.. scroll slowly.

[Sequoyah101]

Afraid they will be picked as an example to be sued by aclu or some other wack job outfit.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That was the purpose of the play put on in Charlottesville.
Paint everyone who supports keeping our history as a bigoted, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, white supremacist.

No defense of American history, culture, or values will be tolerated.

Count me among the ignorant.

What happened in Jackson?

[TBP]

On the right side of the front page. Scroll down. Below the columnists, below Rapid Reactions, below the Opinion listing.

I am a Yankee who realizes what we were taught in school about the war was a pile of lies.
