It's here, folks!
Police have set aside the barricades in Lee Square, and things are heating up.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Leo, but most 98%+ won’t come out of their comfort zone. As their head comes flying from their shoulders their last thoughts will be, “This can’t be happening.” Or “This is all Trump’s fault”.
Church steeples.
They are not protesters. They are anarchists, thugs, criminals, and goons.
Andrew Jackson?
Your nation lost.
I suppose anyone who is able to consider themselves fan of the Confederacy might want to preserve its heritage but it’s not an issue for conservatives.
These aren’t so much protests by this group as they are mobilzations and deployments for future operations.
These thugs are on a war footing against America. They have declared a culture war against us that’s about to go full scale violent, whether we want to acknowledge it or not.

You are so right and we better be prepared.
That’s a great guess.
You know, when I was younger I scoured the left-wing press and was so knowledgeable about their future causes. I don’t do it much anymore and that was probably a real mistake. I don’t think Republicans ever pay attention to trends.
Now there’s a thought. Either Angola would be great.
By the way, I looked up the “Baked Alaska” moniker
Lots of good info on him here:

I am not a neo-secessionist or consider myself part of the Confederacy (maybe part of Dixie, but that is a cultural, not a national identity).
It’s an issue if history in general. Confederate and Union soldiers alike were all Americans, and those who died on both sides should be venerated by this nation as those who fell to protect what they saw as sacred. Where this effects contemporary conservatism is the potential of leftists to continue to use the effacement of the American heritage (in all manifestations) to erase our identity, a subject very important to American conservatives.
In before the grammar Nazis:
*issue of history
*affects contemporary conservatism
Darn autocorrect.
Which side do you want it to be??????
Your nation lost.

________________________________
This is all American History.
People trying to destroy America today versus people celebrating a failed attempt to destroy America 150 years ago.
Hmmmm......I choose neither.
Those who want to preserve the heritage of the Confederacy would also want to preserve the heritage of the opposing force...
Realistically, you cannot have one without the other, you know...
The Confederacy did NOT try to destroy America...They were trying to start a separate country...
That's not for you to define. It's an issue to me.
Do you consider yourself on any side of this protest then? You are entitled to your opinion, after all. How do you think conservatives should react on the ground to Antifa and aggressive leftists?
In other news folks, Someone just got hurt, by the way, and a medic has been dispatched.
It’s not different that the American Revolution...Did the fledgling USA try to destroy England????
No...They just split away to form our own country...
I suppose anyone who is able to consider themselves fan of the Confederacy might want to preserve its heritage but it’s not an issue for conservatives.
I thought Conservatives cared about the honest and open discussion of history, bad or good, rather than the sweeping of uncomfortable chapters of the past under the rug.
We'll discuss this further, I'm certain, when Antifa moves on to agitate for the removal of something that you *do* consider to be "an issue".
