NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans began the process of taking down Confederate statutes early Monday with the removal of the monument to the Battle at Liberty Place.

Mitch Landrieu and the City of New Orleans are now sponsors to terrorism. From being a sanctuary city to this.

What was that again? “We’ll be a chocolate city again...?” Or something like that?

The day we walked away from standing up for Christianity, is the day America died, all our unique freedoms came from our unique Christian values. Mankind is a slave to sin, and inevitably returns to slavery without the understanding of freedom granted by the spirit of God.

I wrote to the New Orleans city council and told them I will never set foot in their city again. I did not get a response.

They’re stupid enough to put up a statue to Beast Butler. Hope they do it!

Calls and attempts to the Govenor and Lt. Govenor posed no action. Lt. Govenor and Attny. General was to pass the info along and were in the process of working on it the last few days. But Mitch the bitch had other plans.

This all began back in late 2015 when the City Council began the discussion
of removing them. Here is a listing of some of the FR articles if anyone cares to
scan thru them.

This is and has been an orchestrated plan to eliminate the Southern Heritage from anyone’s memory or textbook.

Get rid of the South and her charm and her heritage and you go a long way to destroying the culture. Destroy the culture and you become easy pickings for the NWO goons.

Perpetrating the illegal invasion all these years is part and parcel of having us morph into a globalist culture.

NOPD snipers were located in an adjacent parking garage, NOPD deployed to protect the workers tearing down the monument, workers wearing bullet proof vests, bomb sniffing dogs were in the area before work was done. All from eyewitness accounts from a “protector of monument” on night watch.

There is nothing in history anywhere on earth that isn’t tainted by something negative. It’s a fact of life that pretty much every event in history has some sad or terrible stories. Throwing away symbols and monuments is dangerous and allows people to completely forget history (which is the goal of the globalists).

There are actually liberals who want Mt. Rushmore demolished as well.

Police and cities moan about money and manpower but seem to have unlimited resources for their silly over-the-top initiatives.

Confederate monuments memorialize slavery, an un-Christian institution that George Washington disliked and finally disowned on his death; so we should be wary of rushing to memorialize this history. Rather, let’s fight hard to defend true symbols of freedom.

That was part of the draw of going to New Orleans. No need to go there anymore.
