Now the Anti-History movement of the left has a new target. A target as big as a city.
A new report from Austin, Texas’s 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.
Austin’s 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?

I suggest names be changed to mathematical equations but I hear that math is racist too.

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB
A stray Lamb stood drinking early one morning on the bank of a woodland stream. That very same morning a hungry Wolf came by farther up the stream, hunting for something to eat. He soon got his eyes on the Lamb.
As a rule Mr. Wolf snapped up such delicious morsels without making any bones about it, but this Lamb looked so very helpless and innocent that the Wolf felt he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life.
“How dare you paddle around in my stream and stir up all the mud!” he shouted fiercely. “You deserve to be punished severely for your rashness!”
“But, your highness,” replied the trembling Lamb, “do not be angry! I cannot possibly muddy the water you are drinking up there. Remember, you are upstream and I am downstream.”
“You do muddy it!” retorted the Wolf savagely. “And besides, I have heard that you told lies about me last year!”
“How could I have done so?” pleaded the Lamb. “I wasn’t born until this year.”
“If it wasn’t you, it was your brother!”
“I have no brothers.”
“Well, then,” snarled the Wolf, “It was someone in your family anyway. But no matter who it was, I do not intend to be talked out of my breakfast.”
And without more words the Wolf seized the poor Lamb and carried her off to the forest.
The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny.
The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.
Well, that wouldn't work either. Ya know, there is still that Global Warming™ ... ummm .. Climate Change® issue to deal with ....

You can't fool me. That look on her face isn't passion..she's having an orgasm. Notice the bulging eyeballs and lips that could suck the chrome off a '58 Edsel bumper. Now that's what I call an orgasm.
BTW I was going to suggest renaming Austin to Hoover cause "Nothing sucks like a Hoover". But that name has already been taken by one of our finer panhandle cities.

Yeah if they rename it something Catholic then I'd be okay with that.
