a fool in paradise: "The same people tearing down confederate statues are coming for Christ, abolitionists, and the founding fathers..."
Right, and that's the real problem here.
Ordinarily I'd say: Democrats put up those statues, now Democrats want to take them down, why does that matter to me?
But the problem is, once they learn the "thrill" of tearing down American history, then they just can't stop themselves, they want to become American Taliban and tear down everything... everything that looks old.
Now the article seems to suggest these Confederate statues are in black neighborhoods, and if true, then wise people might want to consider relocating them to neighborhoods where citizens welcome & are willing to defend them.
Just saying...
