DURHAM, N.C. — A group of protesters in Durham toppled a Confederate monument Monday evening.

The statue is called the Confederate Soldiers Monument and was dedicated in 1924.

The protest began at about 6 p.m. near the old courthouse and a portion of East Main Street was closed as a result.

You have written a very important post. The Left is following the strategy of anarchy as the means to the ends. It is a way without the ethical principles that founded our great nation. They are the way to fascism which our Founders opposed and wrote a Constitution to protect our people and their freedoms.

I have hopes for the common sense of the American people who elected Donald Trump. The American people are seeing the Left for what they have become. The media and their useful lackeys cannot contain the stench upon the body politics they are. We are witnessing the death rattle of a failed ideology on its death bed. Include our Lamestream Media. What you have described is what America is realizing more and more. There are dinosaurs that have run past their expiration date and it certainly is not those who believe in the principles that America was founded.

sure, sure...except nobody forced them to come here, chained together in the brig...

Why put chains on their bodies when they already had chains on their Spirits?

But since you are referring to actual slaves, did you know Lincoln said in his first Inaugural address that he would support the Corwin Amendment? (The Corwin Amendment would have made slavery virtually permanent.)

Also, why is there no love for the slaves in the five Northern states that kept their slaves all through the Civil War?

Also if the point was to free slaves, why didn't they start in the Union state of Maryland? The supply lines for the Army would have been much shorter. They could have freed the slaves in Maryland, and then went to Delaware and freed those slaves too!

and we finish uniting our country

***************

We are experiencing a new wave from the Far East, Asia, etc that will have to be
united into the country. They are now outnumbering those crossing the southern
border illegally.

History doesn’t generally pay homage to the losers. At least not for long.


Reno died, and yet his memory is still with us. Maybe he should suppress himself.

Anarchy, instead of the rule of a civil society that values democratic principle and the republic, is evil. We must oppose that evil wherever it exists.

"...there is no room for racism, hate, and bigotry..."


Life has thankfully gone well for me, Reno89519. I consider myself fortunate.
There are crazed leftwingers who would be elated were my family yanked from this house, all of us injured (or worse), and this home burned to the ground.

Why? Because of my white skin, my eagerness to study hard in school, and then work tirelessly (for decades) to reach where I am now.
These violent leftwingers should not be excused. They are thugs who should be apprehended and prosecuted.

When you have your next book burning, give me a shout. I want to come see all the sensible, democraticly-chosen, fear-projecting. Really experience the good time as we pretend history never happened and that contemporary popular opinion deserves unquestioned pass to determine what may exist.

When was this obscene travesty erected? I’m offended,but I’m Christian, white, male and a veteran. Therefore my feelings don’t count. The opinion molders of the Left have made that plain.

Isn’t that private land? If not, yes, it should be gone.

The only thing that will stop this insane Leftist destruction of our country, of our way of life is - well, you know.
