Matt Bevin calls for removal of Jefferson Davis statue from Kentucky capitol
http://hotair.com ^ | June 23, 2015

Is this bolder than what Haley did or not as bold? Davis may not hold the same cultural currency as a symbol of southern pride that the flag does, but Haley had less to lose in making her move than Bevin does. She’s the term-limited governor of South Carolina; he’s the GOP nominee for governor in Kentucky. If there’s a broader southern backlash coming to all of the criticism of Confederate iconography this past week, he’ll pay for it more than she will.

The purge of Southern heritage continues. Started with the battle flag, now all monuments will be taken down. Then Confederate cemeteries will be bulldozed over to make room for strips malls. The Republican Party will never again get a vote from me. I will vote for whoever is running on the Constitution Party ticket. I am sick and tired of spineless republicans running scared of democrats. It makes me want to puke. There is not a bit of difference in the parties any longer.

Let’s get that Stone Moutain, too! And tear down the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, too! And all those nasty plantation homes in Louisiana. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Let's just get rid of all images of white people anywhere.

Problem solved.

Because we can't smash shopkeepers windows without looking like thugs, but we can do this.

That has already started. Ten dollar bill; white privilege, white racism, immigration, etc.

How about we just get rid of white people?

Not far fetched when one considers the drooling headlines about whites losing majority status in the future.

The mob mentality continues to gather momentum. It’s in a feeding frenzy now on so many levels.

Historically this has never ended well.

Maybe we should just ban all of the original Confederate states... Just throw them out of the country.

Like I said yesterday, this is a snowball going down a snow covered hill gaining incredible momentum. This is going to carry right until Election Day 2016.

They are now emboldened. I fear there is no stopping them.

Are Tea-turncoats now trying to out-PC each other?

Once you don’t care anymore....it is amusing to watch Republicans trip over each other the kiss Democrat arse.

FR needs to face up to the fact that the GOP is dead, past time for another party.

The idea is to destroy American heritage that liberals disagree with. Will they plow under Andersonville? Destroy Gettysburg? All Civil War battlefields, monuments? Obliterate Lincoln from American history??

I guess there’s a reason Bevin couldn’t beat McConnell. They’re too much alike.

Good grief!

I hope this idiot filled bandwagon drives right off the nearest cliff.

I wonder when one of these morons is going to suggest constructing a giant saw so we can cut off all the southern states from the country and push them out into the ocean...

Piss off, Matt Bevin.

The GOP is full to the brim of useless, stinking trash.
