Gov. Cooper, go away, just go away.

Very big picture: It is so simple for the left to want these monuments torn down but don't want to go through the long drawn out court battles which they know they will lose, so they instigate crowds to "protest" close by which ultimately leads to them (the statues) being destroyed. Back handed way to get what they want. I can see it, especially if they get to brand Conservatives as racists in the process.

I'm quite sure that if white people acted like the "oppressed" black people in this country, they would soon find themselves "oppressed" as well.

You see, idiot lady, it's your values. Couple your shitty values with the fact that you expect your shitty values to be accepted as a protected class, makes you even more the idiot.

I mean holy shit. It's almost as if they've chosen to completely ignore the millions of highly successful black people that this country has launched into the upper atmosphere of affluence.

I guess it's probable that they did.

Good read


From the desk of JD Montes:

ANTIFA and BLM are pretextual names for movements better known as Marxist-Communists. They pick "low-hanging fruit" causes such as Confederate memorials to incense their base and draw support in preparation for an intentional bait-and-switch. In reality they are Anti-American, anti-liberty, unilateralists, pro-violence, pro-revenge and antithetical to the historical American experience.

Their goal is cultural revisionism and erasure of history like the NAZI ideology they falsely oppose. They are the modern American "NAZI" movement. Intent on tearing down our great Constitutional- Republic with fake causes intending to rebuild under their communist umbrella of suppression of the people, not freedom for people. They are fakes who will pivot from Confederate memorials to taking down images of US Founding Fathers. They already want to take down President Andrew Jacksons statue in Jacksonville Fl and they have a movement afoot to take down Thomas Jefferson on the Columbia University campus.

Make no mistake; their soil is Marxism under the disguise of opposing racism and bigotry only to grow cultural and ideological revisionism upon an unsuspecting citizenry. They are like Greek sirens calling people with their trumpets only to mislead them to more evil and insidious anti-americanism.

Sadly the American MSM is part of that movement; fully lying to the public while plotting their eventual takeover. They cannot take America by force from the outside, so they choose to take America from the inside. US President Abraham Lincoln was right about one thing: "“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” So it is today.

The ACLU and the and other civil liberty organizations supported yesterday's rally in the name of free speech. The Federal court granted permit to the organizers only to have a city council attempt to force them to move their lawful assembly miles outside of town due to (you guessed it: ANTIFA and BLM dissent). But real liberty, Liberals argue, does not recognize only speech with which you agree. It recognizes and protects that speech with which you do not agree. So what have we here?

We have the suppression of a rally only because of disagreement with their message of keeping the memorials standing while the real "haters" spread their divisive message of tearing down veterans memorials across this land to serve their false intent.

If history is to record the past, then let it record the past for the good of the future. Should we erase history because it does not comport with our sensitivities, taste or flavor. Maybe we should outlaw all ice cream except chocolate. But frankly taste and opinion are personal. So if sensitivity and opinions are a fluid concept in the liberal mind, why would a political party like Democrats buy into Marxism leading to Communism? Because it suits their political agenda, all the while unknowingly (or maybe knowingly) selling out American ideals of capitalism and individual liberty to movements like ANTIFA and BLM.

These memorials, these monuments were gifts to Southern states who fought for a cause that was self-preservation. The rally cry of the Marxists is that it's all about slavery. But to say that 'slavery' was the primary cause in and of itself is too easy, too simple, too unthinking. Rather a pervasive examination of the American political and economic machine in the early days of this nation is required to truly understand "The Cause". The American war between the states was no more solely about slavery than just being solely about battles and men, but moreso, that slavery was merely a singular sub-element of broader reasons of self government and true constitutionalism. That, my friends, is truly American? Where is George Washington when I need him?

I am not justifying slavery, but I am stating that slavery was not the primary cause of any "civil war". It is but a convenient term given to us by the victors because its sounds moral, holy and worthy in a war that the North was losing until Lincoln's self-reluctant Emancipation Proclamation made it a moral battle. This war was about keeping the Union together at all costs in his eyes. So sound bites, digitized words, photos, and singularly defined negative words do no justice to the history of this nation's greatest internal conflict. It does no justice to the sons, fathers and families that gave the ultimate sacrifice to their state when duty called. These monuments are to dead veterans who fought for their homeland states --- something we cannot today truly understand politically and know little about without deeper examination in a historical context. Frankly, they are all veterans...AMERICAN veterans as declared by the US Congress in the 1950s. They were brothers vs brothers and fathers vs fathers. These memorials should be protected and embraced like the prodigal son; not eschewed and reviled.

In the end, this isn't about racism or bigotry from an inanimate object standing silently in a park or courthouse lawn. It is about whether this nation will live up to its constitutional principles and ideals of free speech or do we embrace the false and darker path of allowing unilateral opinion to destroy Southern history which is really an American history.

Do we really believe in our Constitution? Or are we just lapdogs for every PC movement that comes along with faux causes disguised in pretty verbiage that really intend to attack our Constitutional form of government under false pretense of defying racism and bigotry?

So if only one side is allowed to protest...if only one brother in a war is to be revered...if only one mother is allowed to weep for her dead child...if only one father is permitted to honor his lost son at war...if only one side receives justice because of past wrongs...if the media relates one opinion and not just the facts...then are BLM, MSM and ANTIFA honestly against Facism? Or are they for it?

Better yet, are WE for it? If yes, then this social experiment built on individual liberty and freedom...it wont last much longer.

I say, Herman Goebbels would be proud of these intentionally fake movements.

They have video of the act, find the person that did this, charge him with destruction of public property and make him replace the statue, then throw him in jail for a few years. If they have skin in the game maybe they will think of the consequences of their actions.

The Durham police stood by because it was county property. The county sheriff discussed thingwith county official then decided to just record and arrest later.

Want to bet they expected the stature to fall and knew it would never be replaced?

It actually worked out well. Had they stopped them and arrested them it would have likely been on petty charges. Someone would have likely toppled the statue later under cover of darkness. By letting them act a fool on video in broad daylight they multiple felony arrest of these assholes,

You're making a whole lot of assumptions there. Like the DA won't plead this out to some nothing charge wherein this POS simply walks away from her behavior. I've heard a lot of talk today about what the sheriff and the prosecutor 'intend' to do. Until they follow through on their bloviating and this bitch and others serve hard time, its all just so much BS. And its not like we haven't heard this song and dance before.

Well, our governor just announced that he wants all Confederate statutes to come down.

Even if convicted, I'd expect they only get unsupervised probation and maybe a fine.




Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
