Why? Are they anti Emancipation Proclamation?

Agreed, Obozo= Magna cum Narcisstium!

Vandalizing and Destroying historical statues and monuments is serious fucking bullshit, of several varieties. That shit needs to stop. *That* is not acceptable "speech". We're not at war, and they aren't monuments of some tin-pot dick-tater like Saddam's likeness was.

I think city councils and other government bodies doing it is also bullshit, generally, then again - I vehemently oppose things like the Ten Commandments on govt property, and definitely support the *legal* removal of such things. Dissent is fine, removal can be fine - at least when done properly/legally. Vandalism and destruction, unofficial, is not. At all.

I strongly support having the Ten Commandments on government property.

The last home of Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, MS., formally announced that they would take any Confederate monuments that were not wanted.

It seems as if the National media has somewhat of a bias when it comes to publishing different viewpoints. LInk below:

I think the destruction of historical heritage by either official or unofficial is abhorrent. This is the way conquerors treat a defeated people to subjugate them.

The United Nations (which Leftists worship as gods on Earth) even has policies that cultural destruction is cultural genocide.

Very appropriate for Baltimore. This is who and what they worship.

And a Canadian connection. I never knew Jefferson Davis lived in Canada. And of course now that the plaque is gone it is likely no other Canadians will find out. How this plaque was anything but a historic curiosity to anyone is crazy.

Is the statue holding an EBT card? All hail free shit.

I wasn't just reading and not voicing an opinion because I have been focusing on packing the house and starting to begin the process to relocate to NC.

Then the worthless mayor of Richmond showed his true stripes and decided to change his mind and wants the statues removed. Once again focusing on anything except the rising murder rate, crime, drugs, and the horrendous conditions of the Richmond City Schools.

I will say one thing, the City Council and that carpet bagger governor are the biggest hypocrites that could walk this earth. Out of one side of their mouth they talk about how bad the Civil War was and all the monuments need to come down, but on the other side they talk about how much money/revenue the tourism brings.

I am not a fan of the NAACP but Esther M. Lee, who is the president of the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, chapter of the NAACP, told a local news station stated that the violence around the issue was simply not worth it.

“You know that’s history. That was in that point in time,” Lee said “You can’t eliminate what history is. So I disapprove with young people pulling down those statues.”

“A young woman died. Two officers were murdered in a plane crash and all for what?” Lee asked. “Because somebody in their mind decided, ‘We don’t need to look at that anymore.'”


I was flipping through internet trying to find information on the Barcelona attack when an interesting article came up from the Orlando Sentinel. The article was called "Why just Confederates? Many through history committed atrocities."

As many know (or don't know) I am a history fanatic/buff and got a second BA in the subject. There were many points in the article that was excellent and many I did not know. The so called Union Commanders committed as many or more during and after the Civil war than the south ever did especially towards the Native Americans.

Any white man on the right who goes to Richmond in a few weeks is an idiot. This is completely THEIR game.

Stay away from any rally except presidential ones. Everything else is an ambush.

There was a film crew prepared in advance to create this 22 minute HD video of the very bad company which showed up in Charlottesville. I found it informative to watch the video even though violence from the radical left "counter-protestors" was not recorded or else was edited out. It's a nice piece of propaganda which simplifies understanding why President was so quickly condemned for telling the truth.

And yes, the KKK / Nazis were armed. If you don't have time to watch the video, "200 armed people" is mentioned at around 9 minutes, and at 19 minutes, you can see what one of them was armed with.

I watched the video but didn't see the what the KKK/Nazis were armed with. What did I miss?

I caught this show/special on HBO when I was flipping through channels in my hotel in Greenville Monday night.

I cannot believe any one who watched it can honestly say it was only the right that caused problems. (I know that is not their agenda)

It was a**clowns on both sides and the left is/was just as guilty.

A pregnant black woman is their symbol of hope?! Interesting.

Statistically speaking, the odds against that baby making it out of the womb alive is much less than as compared to other minority ethnic groups and the Caucasian population in general.

At 19:04 in video in the hotel, he has an AR-15 style rifle, a Keltec .380, a Glock 19, and a Ruger LC9. And then a reference is made to "another AK" in bag, but the visible rifle sure looks like a an AR to me.

The officers weren't murdered, but their deaths could have possibly been averted if they had not been there. But the crash could have happened at a later time.

One thing you mentioned I have always noticed and despised. They hate the Confederates, but love the revenue of all the historic locations.

Okay, take the statues down.

Bulldoze Gettysburg and plant trees.

Et tu Brutus!

It was produced strictly as propaganda. The editor of Vice has called for Mount Rushmore to be dynamited and stated that Trump was only elected due to racism. No way they would show how the left instigated the riot.

What's really scary about all this is one group of left wing fascist fuckknuckles (cosplay Nazi's) went at it with another group of left wing fascist fuckknuckles (ironically calling themselves anti-fascist), over a statue put up by left wing Democrats and God knows how many of this nation's illiterate, ignoranant, retarded Facebook meme educated electorate honestly believe this is somehow Trump's, the Republicans and the NRA's fault.

And this is what this nation may go to war with itself-again-over?

Pathetic.

This shit is why aliens wont talk to us and we cant have nice things.

Can we start a petition to rename everything named for Robert Byrd? He was a member of the KKK, voted against the Civil Rights Act, and against the nominations of Thurgood Marshal and Clarence Thomas.
