Distraction time.
The only thing that Mitch really worries about is how he can stay in office until he dies. But one day it will all catch up with him as it did his sister.
I was afraid something like this would happen after that woman in South Carolina began attacking the state’s history and tearing down monuments to appease radicalized liberals.
They ought to put up a statue of Buddy D., R.I.P., at Lee’s Circle with a plaque that says “What’s the Point?”.
Six months? six months?? Of rhetoric???
Is that all?
(plural kitty reference pulled by poster)!
What these historical illiterates do not know is that these monuments were erected at a time when the country wanted to unite in order to face big challenges. Picture Confederate veterans lining the railroad saluting the Rough Riders as they proceeded to the port of Tampa. Or bases named for Confederate generals that were built to train the Doughboys before they headed Over There. These monuments were all part of this. During WWI, Civil War veterans were the same age as Vietnam veterans are today. These monuments to both sides helped unite this country into a world power, in a small way granted, but that was their purpose at the time.
I can understand the removal of the “Battle of Liberty Place” one but the rest I don’t understand. Most of the black folks I know who are native to this area could not give a pooh about these monuments.
The United States of America is attending its own funeral.
But doing this WILL ELIMINATE crime and all of the social ills!
I don’t trust people, especially politicians who want us to forget history.
The people need to start removing all those monuments to communists who worked in the so-called Civil Rights Movement.
This is kind of like the old days of the Soviet Union following political purges of one to another...now being encouraged by “low information” citizens who are to lazy to know and comprehend the history of this young country but are content with others telling them what it is and should be. Disgusting and also sad.
It will be interesting to see what they do about Andrew Jackson of the “Battle of New Orleans” fame? After all he was a slave-holder and you know that means permanent banishment into the outer dark for these people! Yet he is absolutely there in N.O. history and hard to work him into ‘non-person’ status!
There is a reason they call it the “dark side.”
History is a distraction and obstruction to the implementation of Utopia.
New Orleans is the OTHER Detroit.
If you want to see, smell, & taste filth, visit New Orleans.
Down in the Quarter, business owners have to wash their store fronts each morning with bleach to remove the vomit & spilled liquor. The smell is awful - it will ruin your breakfast appetite.
Leave your nice clothes at home. The better you dress the more likely you will be mugged or murdered. Leave the nice shoes at home, too. The streets are filthy. Your best bet is to dress as poorly as you can stand to avoid theft & scams.
If you are thinking of New Orleans for a vacation, think of Cleveland, Newark, or Oakland instead.
Tear down the references to history in a town where tourism (much of it based on that history) is a major industry.
Brilliant.
As I said on another thread, NOLA will no longer be a weekend destination for me. Dollars spent by me there in the future---- $0
