"What's the word on the street?"
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.
Aren’t Civil War soldiers ‘American Veterans’?
No.
Someone is going to get hurt screwing with our revered monuments.
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.
I don’t see it. Where
I searched the link for 5 minutes.
Where is this poll?

A look at the Leftist demand for thought control.
Yes 8%
No 90%
One of the concepts I learned about in my military studies was
THE GOLDEN BRIDGE.
This is the concept that you allow your opponent to quit the fight.
You don’t make your opponent fight to the death because then it’s just really ugly. They’ll come at you with rocks.
After four years of butchery, both sides were ready for the war to be over.
The Union leaders offered the Confederate Soldiers and civilians a Golden Bridge to stop the butchery. The Confederates accepted this Golden Bridge.
I think that part of this Golden Bridge was that they could respect their military leaders.
Can you imagine what would have happened if the Union made this a fight to the death?
I think we’d have had guerilla warfare on a large scale for years.
But we didn’t.
The Union gave the Confederates a Golden Bridge and we have stood united against our enemies since then.
These statues are respect from the families for their warriors.
Leave them alone.
Otherwise, we, as victors (and my family wasn’t in this fight) have broken our pledge to provide a Golden Bridge.
Any statues honoring or celebrating slavery should be removed.
Correction; Democrat statues.
The statues of are Democrats, slave owners put up during the 1920s, the height of their KKK influence.
NO - 90%
Better poll...
Should Trump try to equate tearing down civil war statues to ISIS destroying historical sites? Answer - Yes!
Somebody needs to stop this madness, and it may as well be Trump. Trump derangement syndrome will be the end of left wing socialism.
Multicultural, but with only one approved, politically correct history.
So where is this poll?????
Voted No, but there should have been an option of “Hell NO!”
Couldn’t find it. At least on my phone.
