"The statues are an unnecessary affront to black citizens, who shouldn’t have to see defenders of chattel slavery put on a pedestal, literally."

As are statues of Jefferson Davis and George Washington who he's mentioned to many black people, why the investment in those and not other slave owners?

Why am I not surprised in the least that the soy boy Rich Lowery would write something like this?

I would bet that anything having to do with William Buckley has been scrubbed from the National Review offices.

Burning books will be next. And this too will be defended by the cowards that call themselves patriotic conservatives.

Time to stand up has passed.

Lowry is behind the times. They moved past Confederate symbols and statues weeks ago. They've called out Washington (in DC) & Lincoln (in Boston & DC) already.

In California, they just tore down statues of Miguel de Cervantes (writer of Don Quixote) and Fr Junípero Serra, founder of 9 missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco in the 1700s. Fr Serra's represented in Statuary Hall as one of the two statues representing CA at the US Capitol.

ANTIFA is the Americanized version of the TALIBAN who obliterated historical monuments and statues.

So for all of the ‘WOKE’ people who think toppling statues is cool, just keep in mind who your fellow travelers are.

If you believe this, you don’t get to cry about the Left tearing down those statues of Washington, Jefferson, Columbus, etc. You giving them the inch actively emboldened them.

While we vote in present day rapists and pedos. They should release who used the sex offender fund in congress. Guess what, leaders aren’t sinless. Most in DC worship satan.

Notice how the limp-wrister, kneeling coward makes no mention of what the “Confederacy” actually represented...seceding from the “union” under the US Constitution and returning to the Articles of Confederation and...most importantly for those states that fought the Federal Leviathan that were destroying state sovereignty...a return to the nation-state status.

Right or wrong, for good or for bad, the states that joined the union had the right to secede. As Jefferson said (to paraphrase), “Let them. They’ll come running back.”

With the 20/20 vision of hindsight, we can see that the Confederacy was very wise to fear what the Federal Leviathan was becoming...because it has become that tyrannical ruling class that our Founding Fathers tried to prevent.

National Review? Really? The home of the principled conservative case for whatever fill in the blank liberal crap sandwich I should happily swallow because there’s never a hill to die on. F them. Burn this GopE bitch down.

National Review staff are still the cheese-eating, surrender monkeys that they have always been.

Appeasement never works. Confederate memorials today, the constitution tomorrow. Lowry is worthless and weak.
