History should never be forgotten or glossed over just because it wasn't rosy enough.

I have several questions:

1) Why the move to eradicate these "offensive" Confederate statues now, and from where did it come?

2) Where does this movement end? Only with Confederate statues?

Some private person should offer to buy them. Then set them up in a private park for display.

It won’t solve the murder rate. It won’t put food on the table for families.
It won’t create more jobs

It’s nothing but a distraction.

Nope. Demonstrators want racist Teddy Roosevelt removed from American Museum of Natural History in NY.

Where does this movement end? Only with Confederate statues?

As President Trump said yesterday, you could lump Washington and Jefferson (and so many others) into this situation. Where does it end? With Barack Obama on the $1 and Hillary Clinton on the Quarter, and the Washington Monument in ruins.

What is a private park?

People seem to have an unrealistic view of the value of these old statues. Museums don't want them. Schools don't want them. The only people who show to defend them are carrying nazi banners.

I highly doubt some rich benefactor will purchase them for display. Most likely, they'll be sold for scrap.

The fools who deem these desecrations morally imperative have no inkling of the horrors they unlease. Their own precious icons will be on the chopping block in due time.
One cannot erase history and denegrate ancient heroes without consequence. The price for these atrocities will be terrible.

Two of those monuments were there at the twilights last gleaming but were already gone as of dawn’s early light ..

But try to get the city to plow the snow off your street...

Seems like we should fund source a Confederate Museum to protect these.

Well, that ought to fix all their problems, won’t it. Let’s remove Baltimore, instead.

It's all because of this....

The new face of America is eerily familiar.... It's the same group of Leftist making their excuse to attack.

This ends with the total destruction of the United States we used to know. Little do they realize though that they will return to cannibalism and eat their own because there will be nothing left here.
