NOLA Mayor: Civil War Monuments Caused a ‘Great Migration’ Out of the City ("Best and Brightest")
Breitbart ^ | 5-19-2017 | John Binder

Posted on 05/20/2017 9:37:17 AM PDT by brucedickinson

“The cultural and economic and the spiritual loss to this city for having those statues up that have run people out of the city,” Landrieu claimed. “The great migration that sent some of our best and brightest to places across the country that we don’t have the benefit of has been incredible.”

Those Confederate statues being removed...it reminds me of the picture below. It's a Bamiyan Buddha, before and after being blown up by the Taliban.

But I guess that's just what fascists - foreign and domestic - do, destroy things they disagree with.

no, this is New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu. You may be thinking of his sister, former Senator Mary Landrieu.

Wow! The NOLAs elected another total nut job. They seem to not be able to help themselves. Morons are their preferred “leaders”.

probably a crack rock, but let me say I’m really looking forward to the releasing of Professor Dr. Martin Luther the King’s FBI records. The FBI guys at the time said that the audio consisted of animal grunts and groans. Although I must say, I’ve always liked his communist handler Stanley Levison’s “I have a Dream Speech,” which Stanley wrote. Stanley had a dream. I have a dream too, but I can’t speak my dream in public because I enjoy feeding my family and not being in jail

The crime and black on white racism had nothing at all to do with it.

It was the old monuments that people hardly noticed.

Even though most of them had no idea who these people were it was the monuments that did it.

Honest!

""A house built on sand cannot stand against the elements."

But they're NOT "built on sand", as you yourself said in the sentence immediately prior to the above quote. It depends on how well the engineers do on designing and building that artificial foundation. And that doesn't just apply to New Orleans. There are buildings in NO that are hundreds of years old.

Like a bad Japanese movie, after dark those statues come to life and stalk the city, causing chaos, crime, hurricanes! Hunting down educated people with money and scaring them away!

OH NOES!

Landrieu is a family of crooked Democrat ( I know that’s redundant) politicians, both male and female.

I hope they improved their LEVEES. They didn’t pass the muster during KATRINA that’s for sure.

The levee boards are one of the real dark holes for political intrigue. Money disappears like magic.

It’s a corrupt family, with its collective average IQ in an unstoppable downward spiral, whose profession is to be first in line at the public trough.

"those statues up that have run people out of the city,” Landrieu claimed...

If it was that simple we could run the leftist Democrats out of Washington DC and San Francisco with a few well placed statues. Somehow I don't think it would work, but maybe if we placed giant statues of Trump, Steve Bannon, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Cruz,Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent, and even our own Jim Robinson all over DC we could get some Democrats to move out.

What utter mackdaddy mulatto grafter politician crapola. It’s been 12 years and multiple federal investigations with convictions (including the chocolate city mayor) since Hurricane Katrina. Katrina forced long time small business residents (black majority, church going, and other race businesses) to leave and stay gone, and they have been replaced by opportunists from the obamaumao era. ACORN and SJWs with white guilt and BLM actuating the “change”. Mixed in with liberal a@@holes of the marxist/liberation persuasion who have tried to erase the history of New Orleans as a melting pot.

A melting pot that was taken over by (the “Beast”) Union Gen. Butler, and his grafting son-in-law Ames ( George Plimpton a direct descendant, btw) and a horrific period during Reconstruction of absolute graft that took over and ran (along with corrupt police, drug dealing lawyers, and a host of the spectrum of city destroying actors)the city with their descendants for decades, despite peaceful and violent efforts to reclaim the city by the original owner and displace the carpetbaggers.

Here we have a political machine democrat, from the Landrieus... they of mixed and questionable heritage (and no, they are not Creoles, LOL), definitely on the payola bandwagon. Right up there with the “freezer full of cash” congressman Jefferson of the 9th Ward, who is still in the federal pen. Rep. Alcee Hastings is proud, proud to know the Landrieus.

Get this, Mayor— we know what you are doing removing the monuments, and will not forget. Nor will we forget your “rewriting history” in the process with donated monuments to the leaders who brought the South out of Reconstruction- who survived the oligarchy of self-righteous puritan yankee liberals, lining their pockets. We know that you are directing the monuments to your pal’s utterly failing “Slavery” museum— failing because people definitely don’t come to NOLA to visit a god-d@#d slavery museum- and you want to place these monuments there to help out your slobbering street ape supporters.

The monuments removal is being paid for by the owner of the slavery museum. A political pal of Landrieu, named Cummings. “Museums, not monuments”... that is the mantra.
Double benefit— the erasing of a major part of the great history of New Orleans- so you can make it about drunk a@@holes on Bourbon Street and BS culinary derivative crap from your mob buddies. Duplicity and mendacity— the legacy of Landrieu and all over the US where history is being “re-written” Soviet like, hmm?

Here’s some help,Mayor: Heroin, meth, ecstasy— dopers on every corner and your corrupt police— that is your legacy. Destroying every decent memory of actual history of the first attempt to break free of tyrannical unconstitutional government. A tyrannical government who had no solution or intention for the freed slaves once they destroyed a people and nearly the culture. And now claiming that culture as your own— which it is not.

Tell us again, Mitch, about the “brain trust” of these morons who are staying in the city, as an attractant for business. Right— what, the silicon valley of LA? What a laugh.

Here is Gavin MacInne’s show clip about the museum owing pal and the truth of the matter (caution language— from a fake “Antifa” commie character, played by Gavin, and other content). The Antifa, rich white kids playing “nazi-bashers”. And it is all a LIE:

At last, someone has figured out why St Louis, Mo has lost over half its population since 1950—it’s the Confederate War Memorial! Thank goodness, St Louis now has a mayor courageous enough to demand its removal. Before you know it, the population will be back up around 800,000.
