The new, BLM monument will be required visiting for all school children and politicians.
I just hate this. Our monuments and statues should be sacrosanct and harming them a federal offense punishable by lengthy jail time and heavy fines.
I passed by Overton Park recently in Memphis and was saddened to see a stump where Nathan Forest Bedford once stood. The statue of Jeff Davis had also been torn down.
Monuments and statues are torn down in times of revolution.
If that is so, then let’s get on with it.
During the French Revolution there was a saying: “Madame Guillotine must be fed.” Meaning, of course, that once the usual suspects were guillotined the radicals went out searching for even more “enemies”.
I suppose we’ll see the same thing here. Once they have erased Jeff Davis, Robert E. Lee, etc. they’ll go searching for new targets. Maybe some day statues of Eisenhower will even come down. After all, Ike’s army was segregated.
Our government made a point of forgiving the south so we could live peaceably side by side. The south is entitled to dot history with the men and women that should be remembered...and all southerners. This is history...stop making it into politics. And this is Obama who led this tearing down cr**.
One solution is inexpensive plastic molds painted to look like bronze. Ship them around the country, put them everywhere, and fill them with sand. In areas that really deserve it, fill them from the septic tank for the first hater who tries to damage one.
