The South isn’t the only place where Confederate monuments still exist.
New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.
It won’t remain there for long, though.

I tend to agree. The MSM has failed at all other attempts to take down Trump and this is a final gasp I hope.
We need to frame it though as preserving the history of the DEMOCRAT party. They are trying to destroy the evidence of their own rotten history.
Sadly true, and it needs to be a mass uprising. Continued individual demonstrations will be demonized, crushed and used as further evidence for the need for more Stalinist repression and rewriting of history.
If you went and asked folks where the nearest Civil War statue is located....99-percent would have absolutely no idea.

90% probably don’t know where Arlington National Cemetery is either. I’m not sure where you’re going with this.
Honestly, who gives a f***? I care about jobs, 401ks, taxes, regulations, sustained economic prosperity and stability, etc. This is just Democrats putting on a show for their dwindling base. It’s the race card. It’s their only card.

Yeah, who gives a sh!@ about things like National Monuments or symbols of American Pride...just gimme some money! /s
Yes, Lincoln fought to take down “slavery...”
No. He absolutely did not. He fought to preserve the union, and by his own words, would have continued slavery if it accommodated that goal.
Then they also need to shut down the play “Hamilton,” since AH was a slave owner.
Fact or Fiction:
Robert E Lee committed treason against the United States
The Democratic Communist Taliban
Apathy is strong with you, Luke!
Since Trump went there, he really should’ve noted that hypocrisy laden example.
Just before that, they will want all public schools named Jefferson, Madison, and Washington renamed. I am sure the antifasti will push for a name change for Washington and Lee College (that started last year I believe).
We should also see the complete elimination of the Jefferson/Jackson fund raising dinners for the Rats as well.
Some state rat parties have already done so.
Take down the FDR Memorial.
I look at it as Democrats taking down statues of Democrats that were originally put up by Democrats.
But it's not really about statues. It's about bending the knee. The left lost an election so they're forcing this little measure of submission just because it makes them feel better.
It is also a distraction. The Russian collusion story is completely disintegrating. Yesterday, "Salon" followed "The Nation" at entertaining the thought that there was a leak, not a hack. Democrats need to open up a second front.
They "left/progressives/democrats/radicals/socials" think they got the moral superiority upper hand. I think because in a liberals mind racism is worse than violence and merits the use of violence or any other means to squash it. Most of the rest of us think that unnecessary violence is bad and to be avoided if possible.
These lefty walter mittys are now going nuts because they know lots of us aren't going along with fantasy anymore and one of them is president Donald Trump who seems to have freepish tendencies. That he is making a rational argument and then exposing the lefts on going efforts to sanitize American history and enact retroactive social justice against the now guilty parties of history.
Its shear insanity the deeper you go into the left. President Trump is bringing it to the surface for all to see - those who aren't insane will notice the lunatics its human nature.
This is so fascinating to watch - President Trump is magnificent!
K. I want EVERY STREET AND BUILDING named after Robert Byrd destroyed.
Honestly, I think we should help them tear those statues down. I don’t give a F about them and I would love to see their reaction. And those dead generals can play a part in one more battle. win-win.
I’m willing to let anything burn in this war.
Exactly.
Che shirt sales will continue.
