Dallas Mayor: Confederate Statues ‘Monuments Of Propaganda’
DFW CBS local ^ | 08/15/2017

Posted on 08/16/2017 9:01:22 AM PDT by DFG

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings called for the formation of a task force to determine the fate of Confederate statues sitting in Dallas public parks.

“This is simple. We could remove them, the question is, how do we heal on this issue? To do that we have to talk and listen to one another,” said Rawlings.

Coupled with citizen input, the task force will report to the city council during the next 90 days.

They are monuments of US Soldiers per an act of Congress.

What a joke this POS is. So “simple” yet “how do we heal”?

Insults and hypocristy regarding people’s protests and heritage and history is not “healing” you stupid SOB. Why don’t your worry about REAL ISSUES with blacks, like the illegitimacy rate, crime, drugs, work ethic? You want “healing” I just gave you the road map.

SEE MY TAGLINE and PASS IT ON

Such a disparity: Dallas is leftist scum being next to Fort Worth, not quite as leftist.

Fort Worth (Tarrant) almost always votes for the Republican candidates while Dallas always votes for the Demonic-rat.

In Soviet America, Congress doesn’t make the laws. Courts and media figures do.

Does anyone question how it is, that all of a sudden, the issue of Confederate monuments is the most important issue in this country???

All of a sudden, we now have many localities removing or discussing removing Confederate monuments.

Just because of a car crash at what was probably a staged event in Charlottesville, because of a girls tragic death, now we have to move to remove Confederate monuments???

How the heck do people jump to these conclusions???

If we are intellectually honest, then, every time there is a Moslem terror attack, shouldn’t we remove a mosque???

At last night’s city council meeting, the Fort Worth Council voted narrowly NOT to join a lawsuit against the State of Texas’s newly passed anti-sanctuary city law. The predictable nastiness from the left was immediate, with council decorum thrown out the window and many people escorted out of the meeting for outbursts (they should have been arrested per the law.)

Charlottesville was a staged event with the purpose of making anyone opposed to the erasure of history out to be a racist white supremacist.

They want to eliminate any defense of American history, culture, values and way of life.

After the Civil War monuments, they will go after the founders.

The left has been condemning and removing confederate references from public view for quite a while now, but I think the election of Trump has brought this to the foreground as the newest fake exigency.

“The Mayor also said he will be seeking advice on the topic from the Dallas Holocaust Museum.”

So, now the leftists are 100 percent in line with Joseph Stalin. Congratulations, jackasses! A day of wrath is coming - and these useful idiots are too arrogant to see its fast approach. So be it.

Well, then let's get busy.

Confiscate ALL copies of the book "Gone with the Wind".. burn ALL copies of the movie itself,, and renounce Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh for portraying Southerners who were associated with the idea of slave plantations.

After we cleanse the Civil War from our history then we can start in on Auschwitz and the Nazi era of Jewish extermination. Remove all memory of "Schindler's List."

Far too many LIBERAL Americans are "lost" and wandering in the desert.

These are the actions of people who can’t win elections: Distract the sheep with baubles, keep what little power you do have and the idiots are none the wiser.
