Not near as fast as politicians adapt their public spaces to political correctness, or whatever Mao called it. I personally don't care what the government does with its own artifacts.

It’s time for Mitch to go, too.

That time last year. It didn't happen.

Well, you and the horse you rode in on Mitch can both go to Hell.

I don't much care one way or another where they put the statue but I care a lot about the elitists deciding every detail about what people are free to do in their own State, County, Town, or even their own Home.

Enough is enough, anyone who doesn't like the statue can stay away from the Capitol or just move out of Kentucky.

What really, really, ticks me off is that a couple of people I talke with locally who claim they're libertarians are on the bandwagon for shedding the Confederate flag in States, not selling items with the Confederate flag on them, and removing statues like this one.

That's as bad as Queen Barry claiming to be Christian.

The distinction that was illuminated to me was the distinction between "individual" and "group." In principle, we are a nation of individuals. That principle isn't even given token support anymore.

"Soooo…. when everyone jumps on the bandwagon to ban guns and repeal the Second Amendment - I wonder how fast that will blow through the country? We have no idea what is about to happen to us."

You could be right. The left has got the bandwagon going and the GOP is its usual cowardly craven self. Obama is delivering the pastor's eulogy on Friday. I can see a huge national wave for national gun restrictions and outright confiscation. Will the GOP stand its ground and stop any anti-Second Amendment legislation or not? I don't want my future to be based on Boehner's and McConnell's courage or collaboration with Obama.

We have no idea what is about to happen to us.

Agreed. This is a lead up to something much bigger. The fact that the Republicans are in on it signals to me that something much bigger than we understand is at play.

I guess the next thing they will call for is the end to Civil War reenactments.

Just wait til you see what happens to Conservatism once this nightmare train really gets rolling. Holy holy hell. The Dims of course, but the GOPe now sees this as there chance to get rid of us and distance themselves from us.

Here we go in the hand basket.

“Interesting since Kentucky was a border state. As was Maryland and Missouri, slave states that remained in the Union during the War of Secession.”

Yes, and in Kentucky the “Emancipation Proclamation” did not free any slaves. It took the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
