During the past couple of years we have witnessed an important part of our history being erased, as one Confederate statue after another is removed from the public eye, in order not to "offend" anyone.
Ridiculous, I know.. Personally, I find these efforts at denying history to be stupid and insulting, but it got me thinking..
What about Stone Mountain in Georgia? This awesome mountainside sculpture depicts three Confederate figures during the Civil War: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis.
Has anyone here heard anything from the crazy left about destroying this? Surely they believe it's a racist symbol that offends their sensibilities.
Just curious....
Let’s make it easy. ..tear down everything without exception.
American War Veterans?
They won’t remove it; they will paint gay rainbows all over it.
Privately run but not owned...
Just mentioned Stone Mountain to my wife.
These attempts to erase history should be condemned and halted immediately... Such acts of socialistic political correctness is sad and pathetic.
Yes they are trying...to be continued...they change the names of streets to suit themselves and tear down every old home they can find.
Is this whole movement about a handful of snowflakes who can’t accept documented history and try to erase it because it hurts their shallow self-esteem?

Better make plans for destroying Mt Rushmore too. Washington and Jefferson were slave holders and the artist who carved the project, Gutzem Borglum, was a card carrying member of the KKK. Borglum also started the carvings at Stone Mountain.
Didn't Michael Moore already do that?
Buddhas of Bamiyan - from 4th - 5th century. Stone Mountain hardly been around long enough to get too attached to...
