Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it “remains a blight on our state and should be removed.”

“We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union,” Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.

By removing all confederate images and statues we are trying to deny that slavery ever happened in the US. This internal fight will be taken advantage of by our external enemies like NoKo, China, Russia and Islam.

I seem to recall that Gen. Sherman also owned slaves (or perhaps it was his wife).

It is state property and was purchased by the state in the late 50’s. The carving cannot be altered or removed without the approval of the state legislature

I stand corrected, Stone Mountain was originally under private ownership. It is now owned as a park by the State of Georgia.

I have a feeling if the leftist haters try to destroy this monument, there WILL be a real civil war in Georgia.

....Let’s get Robert Byrd’s name off everything first....

A lunatic liberal explained on TV that the Erasure of history only includes representations of the South from 1865 and prior. Otherwise, two of Hillary’s role models, Sheets Byrd and Planned Parenthood’s genocidal founder, Margret Sanger, would be swept up in this frenzy.
Certain more modern Americans such as Theodore Roosevelt have managed to become targets.

“We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union,”

Like the democratic party?

You know, it’s a pretty popular spot for blacks to visit.

On another note, why be a Democrat when the Democrats founded the second KKK at Stone Mountain?

Stacy Abrams. Has anyone noticed that a pattern is starting to develop in all these various calls to desecrate history?

I think Stacey Abrams needs to be removed. From our country. And she can take her race card with her! Racebaiter.

Listening to Rush—the leftist haters are on a roll, already ramping up to shut down the University of Virginia, Monticello, Mount Vernon, statues of Washington and Jefferson, Washington and Jefferson monuments, etc.

All these haters are part of the Obama crowd who genuinely hate America and want to see it destroyed as we know it. These people are pure evil.
