Hmmm. Okay, so let me get this straight. If “we” find something to patently offensive all we have to do now is demand any and all references to it erased? Well, I find that slavery was really offensive so I guess we need to remove all reference to it from the history books and take down any plaque or monument referencing it and viola, evathing thang goin’ be awright. Dang that was easier than I thought. Now, moving on to the offensiveness of the dem party........... :>}
I posted this in another thread, but you hit the point:

What you said illustrates the greater problem.
I happen to think Admiral Bill Halsey was one of the greatest fighting men this country has produced, and he has had schools, roads, bridges, etc. named after him, and rightfully so.
It isn’t too much of a stretch to think of a circumstance where he becomes a persona no grata because during the war he unleashed tirades of what would today be called racist vitriol.
His memory and what he stood for are dear to me. But I don’t have to think too hard to see a situation where someone agitates to have his name removed from a school or road somewhere.
Look at what we have now. Just thirty years ago, people would have thought you were insane if you described a fraction of the weirdness we see today with respect to this type of “cleansing”.
