NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - There's a new push to have more monuments removed in New Orleans, including the French Quarter's iconic Andrew Jackson statue.

The group Take Em Down Nola says the removal of four statues is not enough.

"We're issuing an invitation to the mayor to finish the job. He has already begun the job, and we want him to finish the job," said Malcolm Suber, Take Em Down NOLA spokesman.

"What we would like to see in their place is people who stood for people and liberation. For instance, we think since Harriet Tubman is going to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill," Suber said. "We don't understand why we can't turn Jackson Square into Harriet Tubman Square. At Lee Circle, we don't understand why we can't turn Lee Circle into Dorothy Mae Taylor Circle. Dorothy Mae Taylor was one of the most courageous black leaders in this city. She led the effort to desegregate Mardi Gras."

It will never be enough. Nothing will ever be enough.

New Orleans was a confederate city. Burn the whole damn thing down and salt the earth. Maybe that would satisfy them.

Of course, they never stop. That’s the hilarious thing about giving in to fanatics.

Tubman was a Republican.

Jackson, Lee, Jackson, etc. - all Democrats.

Ultimately, the libs won't be able to prove the Confederacy even existed.

And make no mistake. The final objective is to erase the fact that slavery existed. Reason? It is a bigger embarrasment and blot on African American history than it is on white history.

I say we draw the line at Old Hickory. That’s going too far. He is a hero of the current President. Trump should get involved. Maybe he should have it moved to the White House lawn.

The biggest problem we have is that liberals are organized...The liberal mind is geared toward “groupthink”...They are great organizers...

Conservatives tend to be more “individualists”...
We are much more independent and think for ourselves...
We aren’t inclined to “group”...
