Taking a page from the Nazi Party playbook and its totalitarian quest of cultural cleansing, today the Democrat Socialist Party in New Orleans is removing four Confederate monuments from public view.
In this updated version from the 1930’s, American blacks residing on the Democrat Socialist plantation represent the new German victims, and the defenders of historical facts and Southern Heritage represent the new Jews.
In order to sanitize and erase cultural history to satisfy its “victims,” simply expropriate all of the structures, imagery and factual references connected to it. Liberal academic “historians” have already accomplished the latter.
The real problem is that most people are either too stupid or too illiterate to recognize what’s going on right under their noses. The South remains anathema to the Democrat Socialist Party, and they’re still trying to “Reconstruct” us.
Oh, and be sure to thank the “Educrats,” who are committed to teaching our children what they ideologically want them to believe, rather than what they factually need to know.

Please explain how the monument to the White League at Liberty Place is a “Confederate Monument”
quote-Most history is an “affront” to someone as the Holly Bible is an affront to non-believers.
You mention the bible- The Scriptures have something to say about erecting ‘pillars’.
This nation has a big obelisk, in its capitol, that if God has His way, will fall.
watching a place like New Orleans, that has a history of voodoo, black magic and curses, tear down a ‘pillar’, is quite a prophetic statement.
if, or maybe ‘when’ the Washington Monument comes down some day, willingly or unwillingly, will people weep or rejoice?
depends on if they’ve read their bibles.
It did vanish years ago. David Duke successfully sued to get it re-erected.
Many Confederate Monuments commemorate the sacrifice that many Southern Soldiers made during the Civil War. Taking them down would be a travesty. I would also say the same for any monuments commemorating Union soldiers.
Because the other three memorials they’re removing include a statue of Robert E. Lee, a statue of Jefferson Davis and a statue of P.G.T. Beauregard. Can’t you read?

Battle of Liberty Place
Monument taken down ..... Three more to be removed..
“Because the other three memorials they’re removing include a statue of Robert E. Lee, a statue of Jefferson Davis and a statue of P.G.T. Beauregard. Can’t you read?”
I think we can agree that you listed three (3) Confederate monuments, but you earlier stated that four (4) Confederate monuments were being removed.
Now, which is the the fourth (4th) Confederate monument being removed?
Or do you believe that the monument at Liberty Place is a Confederate monument?
To include battlefield monuments on the actual battlefields?
I’m a Republican too and where I grew up every little town square and park has a monument to Union soldiers, leaders and units.
Memorial Day in my youth included a parade, ending at the old cemetery where the mayor made a speech and townspeople decorated the graves of the Civil War and Revolutionary War veterans buried there.
Every one took part in the parade; Girl, Cub and Boy Scouts, the American Legion and VFW.
Tuck Harris, the local Ford dealership owner provided convertibles for the WWI and Spanish American War vets, all the churches and service clubs, Moose, the Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis, Eastern Star, Shriners and Masons marched too. After the solemnities were concluded it was time for cook outs and fire works.
We were and are rightfully proud of our veterans; from our town of less than 5,000 several batteries of artillery as well as companies of infantry and cavalry, parts of 2 companies of the 2nd US Sharpshooters were raised locally, one of them fired from behind the stone wall between the Round Tops into the flank of Law’s Brigade as Chamberlain’s 20the Maine made their famous charge.
The America I grew up in would think your willingness to dishonor the memory of the sacrifices of brave men despicable.
Have you read Chamberlain’s description of the Confederate soldier as he saw them at the surrender of their arms and battle flags at Appomattox?
“On they come with the old swinging route step and swaying battle flags. Before us in proud humiliation stood the embodiment of manhood. Thin, worn and famished, but erect and with eyes looking level into ours. Waking memories that bound us together as no other bond.
Was not such manhood to be welcomed back into the Union so tested and assured? On our part not a sound of trumpet more nor roll of drum, not a cheer, nor word, nor whisper of vain glorying, nor motion of man. But an awed stillness rather and breathholding, as if it were the passing of the dead.”
~ Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, describing the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia.
There’s that word “manhood”. Its a dead concept now what with women in combat units and everyone (so far including Trump USMC generals!) “OK” with it.
So that bit of historical recollection will be headed for the dustbin if not already there.
Shameful that you’d denigrate men that fought for their states rights and were conferred status as US Veterans with pardon and full veteran benefits, which makes every Confederate monument to war dead and their leaders no different than Union and current military monuments to our fallen.
