Fox News ^ | June 26, 2015 | Todd Starnes

Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton wants to dig up the bodies of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife and remove them from a city park in the latest and perhaps most despicable example of the anti-Southern cleansing spreading across the nation.

All this because a sick twisted kid took a pic with a flag.....wow, just wow.

Similarities to what Hitler did after the Reichstag Fire are unavoidable.

I seem to remember that some leftists wanted to stop teaching any US history before 1865.

Churches to go underground, real history to go underground, medical care to go underground.

We are really getting to the point where we need massive non-compliance. Barter, use cash as long as possible, grow your own food, home schooling.

"It is computed, that eleven thousand Persons have, at several times, suffered Death, rather than submit to break their Eggs at the smaller End. Many hundred large Volumes have been published upon this Controversy: But the books of the Big-Endians have been long forbidden, and the whole Party rendered incapable by Law of holding Employments."

Gullivers Travels was incredibly prescient too. This is where the phrase "you're all a bunch of yahoo's" comes from.

I remember seeing a movie and thought- this is NOT just a children's book- this is biting political satire- and read the book- it is incredible.

I guess even the sanctity of a grave means nothing to these people.

I am sure you are a sinner too, Mr. Mayor. Would you like your final resting place to be disturbed 150 years from now?

And what Stalin did with the Kirov murder.

Do you suppose that they’ll go after everyone who has hair the same color as the demented kid?

All bets are off, his whole family could be charged with aiding the crime. The sky is the limit. Apparently no one is safe from this administration.

*I guess it’s time to burn all copies of “The Dukes of Hazard”.*

“ATTENTION CITIZENS:

You are no longer allowed to use the words “Duke” or “Hazzard” in any connotation.

The “Duke of Earl” will now be labeled “That One Guy of Earl”.

“Hazzard lights” shall now be called “Danger lights”.

The Supreme Court is now considering outlawing any words beginning with or containing the letters “D” or”H” with the exception of the Glorious DEMOCRAT Party.

Await further instructions.

That is all.”

What is the difference between Wharton and ISIS thugs who blew up the tomb of Jonah, etc?

There is none.

Africa World Airlines flies to Tamale!

I bet the inside of those cabins smell great, like a fresh breeze wafting off a flower-filled meadow.

Do you really believe that is what started this? Prick a liberal and you will find a tyrant. They have been trying to do these things for decades. They are at war and playing by school yard rules while we play by Queensberry Rules (Gentleman style).

"...Africa has plenty of picnic spots..."

Most of SubSaharan Africa is one big picnic spot. You know, like those pullouts on the side of Texas highways that are always covered in litter.
