First the flag, now monuments honoring the Confederacy may be coming down.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is pushing for the name of a park in the city to be changed. The park is named after Robert E. Lee and it is the latest push to erase history related to the Confederacy in the wake of the deadly church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina last week.
A member of the Baltimore chapter of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans said the hatred of the flag is an attempt to hide history.
Elliot Cummings told WBAL, "We are becoming like the Taliban. They are going after monuments, they are going after parks, they are going after anything that has the Confederate name associated with it. The battle flag is the flag of our soldiers; the flag of our great-great-grandfathers."

Reminiscent of when people would dig up the corpses of people such as Cromwell and various “heretics”, and publicly defile them for political purposes. Soon the Left will take serious aim at the slave owning founding fathers. They need to “delegitimize” what they see as a corrupt America to its core. Farrakhan’s comment about the flag was not meant to shock or an attention grabber. Its the mindset of the Left.
“Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees.”
an attempt to hide history.
Keep it up, and we may have to forget that there ever was slavery.
There - that fixes everything!
Baltimore is a chocolate city now so why not? Why not obliterate everything connected with The Confederacy? The lo-IQ ignoramuses are in charge there.
Send them all back to Africa. They’ll love it!!
History to a Humanist is highly irrelevant.
The only thing that matters NOW is what the smartest people believe NOW.
Thanks, can’t keep up with all these islamo terrorist groups.
How about renaming it "Hamsterdam Park"? (Reference to the"Hamsterdam" episode of "The Wire.")
Hiw about the Marse Robert Park, then?
Not everything. You forgot to close down Gold’s Gym. Afterall, that Confederate flag loving Roof was wearing a Gold Gym tank top,too.
He probabaly liked hamburgers,also....soooooooo.....
Great. Let’s reverse history then and forget we ever fought the Civil War for everyone to be free!!
Jerks!!!
Taliban.
ISIS destroys museum pieces and statues as well.
Sounds like they got nuthin’ on liberal demagogues........................
I find it interesting that Mr. Roof’s dream of sparking a race war is being fulfilled by the race baiters, politicians and media. (The last 2 are kind of redundant)
Why do these racists hate history?
It makes them look bad.....................
It’s easier to get riid of one malcontent. And cheaper too.
Honestly, sometimes I think we SHOULD get rid of those symbols and at least move them somewhere where we can protect them (until such time as we need them again). They are our history and I’d hate (oops!) to see them destroyed.
The left DO remind me of the Taliban destroying the artifacts of the ancient culture in their region.
...and not to mention the 600,000 casualties in the Civil War.
Already happening. Just yesterday there was talk on CNN of getting rid of the Jefferson Memorial on the National Mall.........................
Esposito ("El Presidente"): "From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish.
In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour.
Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check."--from the Woody Allen movie, Bananas
