Now the Anti-History movement of the left has a new target. A target as big as a city.
A new report from Austin, Texass Equity Office about existing Confederate monuments suggested changing the city's name.The report identified several neighborhoods and 10 streets named in honor of the Confederacy or William Barton, a slave owner dubbed the "Daniel Boone of Texas," that could be changed, The Austin American-Statesman reported Friday.
Austins namesake, Stephen F. Austin - also referred to as the "father of Texas" - opposed efforts by Mexico to abolish slavery in the Tejas province, saying freed slaves would become "vagabonds, a nuisance and a menace," the newspaper noted.

The only question is whom to rename Austin after? It has to be a historical figure with impeccable politically correct bona fides. A man whose commitment to leftist politics could never be challenged.
Marxville? New Mao City? Obamastan?
Columbus, Ohio, I imagine will be next. Also what was the Duke of York's position on slavery? What was Amerigo Vespucci's position on gay marriage?

Thank goodness for songs like that which gained great fame and popularity. Even the left would be hard-pressed to send it down the memory hole. More likely, theyd just try to co-opt it in some way, just as theyve tried to do with Christianity, and, with success, country music itself. They try to co-opt the outlaws (and that dimwit Nelson, the tax dodger, gives them an opening-youd think theyd be pizzed that he didnt like paying his fair share-but I dont think they could ever find a way to co-opt Waylon, and certainly not Hank Jr).
1) The issue is never the issue, the issue is always The Revolution.
2) The Revolution starts in the Year Zero.
The way to retaliate is to call for the renaming of any place that is named after anyone who supported the murderous ideology of Marx.
Castro City Limits.
Or playing chess with a pigeon.
Chavez, TX ... a dream come true for the moonbats.
There was a time when we still cared about truth.
San Francisco is named for Saint Francis. Start there.
A better idea would be for all the Eyore loving tree hugging environutter uber sanctuary city libs who insist on keepin’ Austin weird just move their backsides and their hate to Californica. Or should I say BACK to Californica where they came.
I vote for naming it a number as a name would upset the gays.
Africa and it’s countries need a name change since they are the ones who gathered up their neighbors and sold them.
The Castro brothers want to save that for San Antonio.
Easy to do. Breckinridge Colorado changed it’s name to BreckEnridge due to the Civil War.
Breckinridge captured the vote in the South in 1860. He had been VP under Franklin Pierce, later became a Confederate officer.
Have they renamed the Democrat party yet? The founders of the party were all slave owners.
LOL on Oprahoma.
How about....

-SJW

“A new report from Austin, Texass Equity Office...”
It’s what you get when you institutionalize delusion.
