May 11, 2017: The monument to Jefferson Davis in New Orleans, the former president of the Confederacy was removed just after 5 a.m.

When are all these CSA statues going to reside?

[Mears]

Budapest has a memorial park with all of the old Soviet statues.

It is quite a tourist attraction.

The idiots here wouldn’t allow that though.

NOLA is ahead of Chicago in murders and they are worried about statues.

[blueplum]

when will they be removing all traces of French culture from the city? After all, the French slave trading and caste systems thrived in French territory.

[Smittie]

The only consolation is that hellhole doesn’t deserve the likenesses of Lee & Davis within its’ boundaries.

[Yardstick]

Obviously the city of New Orleans has legal ownership of the monuments and can legally dispose of them as it pleases. That’s really not the issue here.

Nor is the issue that there are some fringe racist jerks who don’t want the statues taken down.

The issue is that this is a leftist power play that’s part of the bigger ideological struggle and should be resisted. That’s why you see antifa/blm/lefty types on the other side.

Good! The treasonous bastard.

[CJ Wolf]

wait til you read about what the indians did. oh my.

[thulldud]

...I did not want to stand alongside the White Power & Klan that were among the crowd protesting the removal of the monuments.

Suppose those were really Klan? (How would you find out?)

Smells of Alinsky to me.

I’m heading for Stone Mountain before the taliban gets there.

The old YMCA used to be on Lee Circle back in the 60’s. Spent many a summer day there as a kid and the family used to spend Mardi Gras day on the circle.

These sick and demented people won’t stop until Andy Jackson’s statue has been torn down.

On Sunday, I went to the protest at Lee Circle and simply observed, as I did not want to stand alongside the White Power & Klan that were among the crowd protesting the removal of the monuments.

I haven't posted anything in about six months. Your disgusting post prompted me to comment.

I am in New Orleans. I have been carefully following local coverage of this controversy. Your disgusting lies about White Power and Klan people being there is something a racist leftist would post.

If there are agitators at some protest, they are funded by the likes of Soros and other evil leftists.

I have not seen one report about Klan or such being there. It's disgusting you would post such incendiary lies.

"Jeff Davis monument comes down after 106 years!"

[ohioman]

Good post. You are 100% correct in your assessment. Timpanagos1 is nothing but a liberal disrupter who is in bad need of the ZOT from Free Republic.

[Mathews]

You win!!!

[mac_truck]

Agree with your assessment of Sunday's event at Lee Circle and have heard the same thing from MAGA folks who traveled from out of the area to attend.

[Ohioan]

The war on heritage is a celebration of the ability of Leftist agitators to market senseless hatred among those found to be susceptible "buyers." Contrast what is going on in New Orleans, today, with what Booker T. Washington testified to, to a generation but one removed from that of those now being senselessly dishonored:

Booker T. Washington Address.

The long-term effects of this "achievement" in the annals of hate promotion will not be nice to contemplate.

Your disgusting lies about White Power and Klan people being there is something a racist leftist would post.

Here you can watch and listen for yourself.

Smells of Alinsky to me.

They were League of the South so they smelled like Klan not Alinsky.

[Timpanagos1]

I did not say that all the people protesting the removal of the monuments were White Power or Klan, but said there were some people affiliated with those groups.
