The Frankfort School would patent the familiar “Critical Theory” which was accurately defined by a student as the “essentially destructive criticism of all the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention, and conservatism.”

Any surprise that it would be another DEMOCRAT expousing the tenets of Gramscianism?

"Slavery was the greatest injustice of our history," he said. "It's not something we should glorify."

Right, we're too busy glorifying ignorance.

Wow. This is like deja vu all over again!

[Chapita]

You have a lot to learn, if that is possible!

Jefferon Davis is in essence a deposed leader of a conquered area. What's next? Mussolini Lane? Hitler Terrace?

Whatever your opinion of the Civil War (War of Northern Agression), it is an unbelievable stretch to equate Davis with Mussolini, let alone Hitler. Jefferson Davis was an honorable man, well respected by friends and enemies alike.

Took them a little while to notice it, eh?

"Wow, can I be cool like you?"

Not likely with that mind-set.

Wow, can I be cool like you?

No.

[cactmh]

Leave, loser.

As recently as a decade ago, I doubt it would have been much of an issue.

"Jefferson may have well been a common criminal. He was a traitor, nothing more."

William Jefferson Clinton, you mean. I agree.

The markers have been there for over 60 years and they are just now noticing? Some people just have to go way out of their way to be offended.
