Confederate statues today, book burnings tomorrow

A crowd of ignorant protesters pulled down a bronze Confederate statue that stood before a county government building in Durham, North Carolina — the angry national backlash to the Charlottesville brouhaha over the Robert E. Lee monument.

This is not how civil societies operate. And yet this is what the left has brought, and now cheers.

What’s next — burning books with offensive content?

Burning books written by those who used to own slaves? At the very least, museums will have to go

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984 Lots of statues of General SHERMAN out there. Will he be next to be sanitized? http://www.historynet.com/betrayal-at-ebenezer-creek.htm Sherman’s attitude toward black people is perhaps best illustrated in his own words, in a private letter he wrote to his wife, Ellen, shortly before he left Savannah to continue his march up the coast. ‘Mr. Stanton has been here and is cured of that negro nonsense,’ he wrote. ‘[Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P.] Chase and others have written to me to modify my opinions, but you know I cannot, for if I attempt the part of a hypocrite it would break out in every sentence. I want soldiers made of the best bone and muscle in the land, and won’t attempt military feats with doubtful materials.’ As he admitted in his memoirs, ‘In our army we had no negro soldiers and, as a rule, we preferred white soldiers.’

If they are getting rid of everything related to slavery then the Democratic party should be at the top of the list.

LOL!

What the Confederate Statue Removal crew really want is to remove all of our Founder’s statues. This current tantrum is just the beginning.

Insanity knows no bounds... And it is sadly contagious. Reminds one of the Nazi’s and their attempts to re-write history.

All of this has George Soros's fingerprints all over it.

Paid for with his very own shekels.

The Bible is the only book the Godless would burn.

“What’s next — burning books with offensive content?”

What’s next is mobs of leftists murdering and lynching anyone they don’t like. That’s what’s next.

It ultimately leads to “The Killing Fields”, where people are killed just for wearing glasses.

Mohammed . . . Mohammed.

That’s a slaveholder name, isn’t it?

I suspect a lot of the people who want to take down anything to do with the Confederacy are also the same people that thought a hash tag campaign against Boko Haram for abducting and selling all those Nigerian girls was “enough” of an effort.
And they’re also the same people who had no problem with Obama attending a church that regularly praised black supremacist Louis Farrakhan; no problem with him being arm and arm with a white terrorist who wanted to start a race war, in order to destabilize the United States. And they’re the same people who had no problem with anarchists and black lives matter yahoos burning down black businesses in Ferguson and never demanded that Obama distance himself from the BLM movement or even from the Occupy Wall Street crowd, one of whom was involved in organizing the very protest in Charlottesville that they are whining about.

Well, at least the muslims will be happy to see these graven images come down...

[ColdOne]

I have been saying this for years. They have all the books on computers or those ebook things, what a perfect way to change history facts.

[ColdOne]

In NC Gov said they should remove all statues so the protesters would not get hurt. I think it was the gov?

[DouglasKC]

Why do you think they’re upset with “White Nationalists”? If you’re proud of what your country and is, you’re the enemy because it was built on the premise that whites culture is evil and racist.

[mass55th]

Can we ban Obama since his mother’s side of the family owned slaves?
