And its going to get worse, MUCH worse..just you watch, the American Flag is next..after all, some people in this country are offended by the American Flag, Muslims hate our flag, so do liberals..our Flag was burned during the Baltimore and Ferguson riots..the left will demand it be taken down and you will hear the p*ssy GOP say “OK lets take it down I don’t want to offend anyone”

It’s funny how he wants to take down a statue that has no bearing on anything at all, but he’s perfectly fine with the Quran and mosques.

Put the statues on PRIVATE LAND inside a city but keep them on “historical” battlefields. The haters may not be able to get around historically designated sites to kick out the statues.

I have no love for the Confederacy but it was an important part of our history, and as a historian, I believe in keeping history intact as much as possible, for the public, warts and all.

I agree. We are somewhere in the “middle of the end” of the United States as we knew it.

Heard they are changing the park out in TN due to it being named after a Confederate General.

I ask this then. Who is still fighting the was between the states, because it sure does not look like Southerners.

So true. No one in the South is fighting the war. But we have a history and somebody is trying to erase it like it never existed. Not gonna work.

Progressives and spineless republicans are sooo eager to fight battles that have already been won. It is so easy to fight the confederate flag, or claim that they would have marched with Dr. Martin Luther King had they been alive, or would have offered a seat on the bus to Rosa Parks. But those battles have been won. Why not do something hard, like fight the slavery that exists today?

Yes, slavery does in fact still exist, and it still belongs to those who more identify with the progressives. Michelle Obama had the chance to take an actual stand against actual slavery when 100 girls were captured by boko haram and sold into slavery, and her response was to invent a hashtag and hold up a sign.

I have never held a confederate flag, but I am sure not going to join this straw man lynching when there are bigger real battles to fight.

When I worked up north all I heard was how the south is still fighting and yet it is they who put down the south, make hones about southerners, and claim the south is still fighting.
Yet these idiots move down here and when they find another like minded fool from up there they still carry on behind peoples backs thinking how smarter they are.

May Mitch McConnell meet the same fate as Yezhov!.

The WASHINGTONIANS are making it clear that it’s them against us.

This douchebag’s next visit home ought to be an eye opener.

Us rabble are not pleased.

Excellent.

Sadly the Yankees move down here and then start voting to turn our area into the same chithole they left behind. Its really depressing.

Which happened to be Robert E Lee's home site and his wifes rose garden. Just sayin.

Every southern town in our parts has a Civil War Veterans memorial erected (many of them) by The Daughters of The Confederacy.

We lost the 10 Commandments in our courthouses, so I guess any evil is possible.
