Just watched a "news report" on NPR. Two LA politicians, one white, one black, discussed the removal of the Confederate statues in New Orleans.

They are never satisfied. According to them every statue, every symbol of the Confederacy "must be eradicated if we are to preserve our democracy". They want all 700+ Southern monuments removed; claiming "they have no place in a progressive, inclusive america". This 'academic' trash intends to literally rewrite history.

How the hell are we being "inclusive" if we eliminate the history and culture of an entire section of the country? mad

"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
