If you want to see what will placate American blacks, just study Rhodesia.

The left will never stop now that the GOP establishment has joined them.

“open and inclusive” means banning things and making people they don’t like go away

An activist group is calling for Orlando (Florida) to remove a monument to Confederate soldiers from Lake Eola Park, amid nationwide scrutiny for the Civil War South's symbols after the racially-motivated slayings at a South Carolina church last week.

The petition by Organize Now, an equal-justice group, calls for the statue to be relocated to a museum, "where such an oppressive image of racist American culture would be appropriately housed for historical reference."


"Yes, we will take your proposal under advisement, pending receipt of your remittance in the amount of the total cost of removal and replacement, payable in advance."

...Impertinent rabble-rousers thereupon immediately vanish at the mere mention of personally incurring a monetary cost to themselves...

"Harumph. That's what we thought."

It never occurred to me that anybody would consider that I was being serious. You proved me wrong.

Why don’t we cut to the chase and erase all of America’s history in one fell swoop? Get it over with.

Then in school textbooks they’ll only need one page to say that America’s history is riddled with racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia, religious nutjobs, LGBT intolerance, and imperialists.

These "activists" are complete illogical bully-morons. Let's ban EVERYTHING so that no one is "offended" because nothing exists. However, nothing will then offend them. These fools should be in mental institutions.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not, so for the sake of posterity and in all my humbleness.

THE NORTHERN LIBERAL ELITE HAS DECLARED WAR ON THE CONSERVATIVE SOUTH.

That’s the bottom line folks. That’s going to be the theme of the 2016 election.

Funniest part about this. The standard bearer for the North is a deranged killer.

We are no longer allowed to use any words with the letters C, J, D, R, E, L in them.

Confederate starts with the letter C

J, D banned because of Jefferson Davis

R, E, L for Robt E Lee.

If all Confederate monuments are taken down, does that mean that history has changed and that slavery never existed?

This is from the ‘organize now’ website home page:

“Organize Now was at the forefront of the first ever citizens’ initiative in Orange County with Earned Sick Time and continues to represent the community as elected officials broke the law in Textgate. Organize Now has won all three of the lawsuits it has filed against elected officials!

Organize Now continues to fight wage theft, win sick time, stop corporate takeovers of our public services, advocate for good public transportation, quality jobs, safe communities, and the best public schools.”

Nothing but $%^$%^&*%!! Communists!!

What about the Confederate monuments at Gettysburg, and all the other Civil War battlefields.

Many of the soldiers in the Confederacy were drafted. This fact needs to be pointed out before monuments honoring them are taken down.

[Many of the soldiers in the Confederacy were drafted. This fact needs to be pointed out before monuments honoring them are taken down.]

And few of them owned slaves. Less than 5 percent of Southerners were slave owners. Seventy-five percent of Southerners had no immediate economic interest in the maintenance of slavery or the plantation system.
