New Orleans will begin taking down Confederate statutes, becoming the latest Southern body to divorce itself from what some say are symbols of racism and intolerance.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu says the first memorial will come down Monday night because of death threats and intimidation from some of those who want the monuments to stay and to minimize city disruption.

The other statues, of Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard and Confederate States of America President Jefferson Davis, will come down in following days. …

Will the renaming wait until Nagin is out of jail, his current residence.

Well I don’t think I have any future plans to visit New Orleans, now I know I do not have plans to ever visit New Orleans.

What’s next? The removal of all Christian churches and Jewish synagogues because they offend muslims?

My thought also. I first visited the South 100 years after the end of the war between the states, and was amazed to find a deep reverence among the people for the war. Certainly, a fondness for the concept of Dixie and a regional pride for sure.

Giving in to a few civil war apologists does lead to more of the same.

I am one that holds that the real agenda of the islamic invasion is a total destruction of Judeo-Christian culture. Their very name 'Islam" means to submit.

Scriptures say - Let your yes be yes and your no be no. I vote No!

“For the most part, people who actually live in New Orleans do not seemingly oppose to removal of the monuments.”

GEE! I can’t imagine why! On second thought I know the reason why.

“However, I’m sure there will be some outside agitators who will protest the removal of the Confederate monuments.”

I doubt that, but do you honestly think they will stop with those Confederate monuments?

Yes, so let’s erase history expressed in the form of art because a whimsical mob of low-rent blacks and incompetent Marxists decide they want it gone.

Lee Circle will be renamed C. Ray Nagin Circle.

Are they going to park all those white topped school buses in a circle ?

I won’t be going back to New Orleans. I don’t like Talicrat destruction.
