Deleting History

One of my wittier friends told me today “I’m starting a movement to ban Dixie cups.” If I’d have been less startled by his gallows humor I’d have replied – “Just wait a week. They’ll probably drop the ‘Dixie’ name themselves.”

The Charlottesville syndrome is upon us. Recently in Franklin, Ohio, a quiet town a little north of Cincinnati, one of the spineless breed of careerists that run most local municipalities had a miniscule plaque depicting Robert E. Lee removed. The city leaders did their work in the usual courageous bureaucratic way -- which is to say they had a crew of city workers cart the monument off in the middle of the night. An organization no one had ever heard of, “Showing Up for Racial Justice” (SURJ) had threatened to make the town less quiet if the offending image of a man on a horse was not expunged. This is really quite remarkable. Franklin is a 97% white community. Its black population is under 1% -- and I would be surprised if more than a handful of them have made a career of being offended by the rest of the town. The threatened protest was the work of outsiders -- people who had never been to Franklin, who just decided that its monuments didn’t suit them. It should be added that if you want to be offended by a monument to a Confederate war hero in Ohio, you have to look pretty hard. We were on the Union side.

The Hypocritical and Delusional Lying Left can try to delete history but they can’t delete the current horrors they’re committing every day.

Democratic-Party-supported slavery doesn’t hold a candle to the merciless DAILY SLAUGHTER of approx 125,000 innocent babies who are unborn, partially-born, and sometimes fully-born. The womb has become an execution chamber. The womb, God’s place for nurturing babies who are to be loved has become a chamber of horrors. Tens of millions of unborn babies mercilessly slaughtered since Roe v. Wade.

The Hypocritical and Delusional Lying Left pretends to be offended with slavery that their Democratic Party supported and was abolished 150 years ago and is a non-issue today. But these hypocrites use slavery as a deflection from their support and encouragement of a very real, ongoing, and even worse horror today: the mass Slaughter of the Innocents. Slavery was regrettable and was corrected. Infanticide, of which the Hypocritical Left remains in full support, is unconscionable, horrifying, and very, very sad.

The Democrats are trying to erase their own history.
