Isn’t that what ISIS does? Destroy the memorials in a country? How is this any different - regardless of how this destruction is carried out. I detest MM, and JB as much as I do zero. It’s sickening to watch this old fool make an a** out of himself and continue to call himself a Republican.

I agree with everything you wrote.

The anti-17th geniuses always make me laugh. Talk about dumb.

There’s plenty of idiocy on both sides (right & left).

Could there possibly be a clearer way to pour salt in to our "deepest wound," than to reverse the over a century old policy of honoring both sides in the terrible war of the 1860s, by purging any honor for one of those sides? The lunacy of some of these political "leaders," may even exceed their other despicable traits--all illustrated by these antics.

As others have observed on various threads, this sort of idiotic surrender to fanaticism is made of the same "intellectual" stuff as the Taliban destruction of statues of Buddha.

"It won’t stop with just us."

No, indeed not. The King's cousin (& rival), dressed in "street clothes," to lead the March on the Bastille, had no idea how to turn off what he helped set in motion; nor did Lenin's chief ally, Trotsky, even in the moment before he had (a hatchet, I believe) buried in his head in Mexico.

Egalitarian revolutions are almost as dangerous for those who dream them up, as for those of us who seek to resist them. Already, it is not just the Southern traditionalist. Any American who would deny the notion that Sodom, Gomorrah or the isle of Lesbos (in the classic world), represented alternative "life-styles," is already under intense attack; as are those who understand that a Nation is not defined simply in terms of geographic place.

Time tables are being deliberately accelerated. Win or lose, howver this turns out, we are condemned to live in interesting times.

So what is the argument?

There is no argument nor reasonable complaint. MM is an attention whore and is jumping on the bandwagon trying to pretend he actually cares about ....... anybody.

Secession is treason?

Secession

Rebellion

Revolution

Partition

Treason

Traitors

It’s not all interchangeable

Btw

This is not just about we southerners

You have a bigoted white privilege legacy too

We’re just easy pickings as always

They’ll come for your birthrights soon enough

They are already taking on Washington Jefferson and so forth

Even Lincolns legacy due to his racist opines will be vulnerable

Don’t doubt me

It’s Alinsky pure and simple

Demonize and destroy

Whites are so so weak

Being from AL, “Mitch” as he calls himself might not know that Jefferson Davis was born in Fairview, KY.

But northerners like John Roberts will never see that.

In Shreveport, liberals again pushed today for the destruction of the Confederate monument (it’s a pretty ugly monument actually) at the Caddo Parish Courthouse. But the monument is privately owned. Maybe they will seek eminent domain to remove it.

An American version of Chairman Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” has arrived with the Republican Party in the vanguard.

So true you are. It's 49 years after Mao's destruction, one short of a golden anniversary for liberals. Liberals win even when they lose elections.

Yeah, its an old fashioned purge. It is interesting to see what they fear the most, country boys, fly over America. In short, they fear Americans. We may end up pkaying cowboys and metro-sexuals.
