I remember an old National Geographic about the carving of the Stone Mountain Memorial.

YAWN

There is no real support for doing anything to Stone Mountain. This is some fringe Democrat-filed bill that will die in some committee somewhere.

Maybe Hotlanta?...

FTA: "To my mind that just makes them a kinder, gentler Taliban," O'Toole said. "The objective is the same [...] to destroy the largest bas relief carving on the planet."

Here are the offending cretins stirring the pot:

That’s (Stone Mountain) private.


I just checked. It’s owned by the state of GA. I think that’s the big target here.

Why dont we propose to get rid of every single MLK Blvd in America.

There have been more murders and killings on MLK Blvd streets across America than any other street name.

Lets erase these history markers as well.
