If you think the knowledge of history in this country is deficient now, wait until you get rid of every historical monument that bothers some idiot. At that point we are completely set up for repeating whatever negative aspects of history there may be, because we’ll have no history from which to learn.

There seemed to be the same type of activity in communist countries to erase and change history .... but then we are dealing with modern day communists!

This seems to have become a new liberal cause celebre, the removal of Confederate monuments.

New Orleans can’t control their flood control system, but they can find over a million dollars to remove Confederate monuments. They can’t educate their kids or control rampant crime in their city, but they can find the resources to remove a statue which offends the sensibilities of the media and liberals.

Other places are now making their plans for removal.

Voters have wanted our borders and laws enforced for 30 years.

Doesn’t seem to matter what the voters want.

The longer this stuff goes on the bigger the backlash. Approval for purging of history should take a super majority and not just a political hack listening to one side. Someone needs to remember this purging can work in many different ways and it will become a massive destabilizing influence.

Marxism's first step is to rewrite history.
Destroy a Nation's icons, and founding principles - and replace them with Marxist jargon and lies.
This Nation was founded by Christian Men and Women. Flawed, like all men, but on a whole they held a sincere reverence and fear of God. That is evident by a brief perusal of the writings of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson - among many others.

Grateful recipient of the Albert Sydney Johnston Scholarship - awarded by the good old ladies of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
So yes, I'm biased on this issue.

Wow, imagine what we could do if we had democratically elected representatives in a functioning republic.

It’s another version of the Snowflake/Safe-Space ideology!!!!

If you are in a Safe Space, you can’t learn anything! Confederate monuments help current Americans learn history and American culture.

The alternative is people wth blank minds who are susceptible to following demagogues—North Korea style!!!!

PHOOEY!!!!

That is the consensus I have heard over the last two days. Adults, 55+ and me eavesdropping on conversations. Taking down a statue helps nothing. Antifa and BLM, are ISIS and the Taliban, evil to their cores all of them.

Even if you agree with the removal of Confederate statues you’d be deluding yourself if you think Ultra-Left fascists are going to stop with a just a few Civil War generals. They will eventually take down every statue of every great american on the grounds they are white and male.
Washington owned slaves? better take it down.
Lincoln said something racist once? better take it down
it will never stop till American history is totally destroyed.

Let the left keep it up. It reminds people of why they don’t vote for them. Their only platform is ridicule of those who look/act/believe something different.

Next: George Washington - didn’t he have slaves? Then there is Lincoln - didn’t he say less than flattering things about Blacks? Let’s blow up Mt Rushmore.

Libs have nothing constructive to add to the national discussion, and that is sad, as we need different points of view.

OF COURSE!! It smells of ISIS or Taliban kind of tactic. The left always over reaches and then the deep state media complex cheers them on and celebrates them while we’re called Nazis.

Nobody but the weenies in the GOP buy into their narrative.

Take down all of the statues. Sign all kinds of new “rights” bills. Outlaw all speech that doesn’t support the liberal agenda. A generation in the future nothing will have changed as far as the races are concerned.

Why not replace the statues of Confederate generals with statues of Union generals?The first that comes to mind would be General Grant. And General Sherman for making Georgia howl.Also, Phil Sheridan -— he did a wonderful job on the Shenandoah Valley!
