don’t give them more ideas...
I’ve been listening to some of my very smart friends. They have set me straight about this business of the “constitution” and “individual liberty” and have also explained to me how Obama’s latest executive action - unprecedented in our history - of making it permissible to pay ransoms to terrorists and kidnappers actually makes us safer. Now that I am a more aware person it seems to me that the only logical step is to do as our great leader - a man who utterly eclipses the Washingtons and Jeffersons and Obamas (PBUH) - of the world - yes, Louis Farrakhan - says and do away with the neation entitely. If you read NOI literature (few do) you will learn that the objective is a complete transfer of wealth from evil producers to America’s heros, who may be identified by their darker and more godlike skin. (Few do, as I said...) In any case I am willing to make a go of it. If we can accelerate the Great Society just a wee bit there may be some hope for all of us! In any case lest you think I am “racist” I will be reading THOMAS SOWELL’s kick-ass insights as the sun sets on America.
Help us map the last remaining monuments of the Confederacy

Tks
I agree
Not a laughing matter to me
They make take Vir-Ginny_a but they’ll nevuh, I say, I say, nevuh, take Texas!
They stopped selling Confederate memorabilia at Gettysburg for crying out loud, it’s over.
Orwell’s memory hole has been created, and the first to go down the memory hole is the CSA. Anyone who opposes is labeled racist.
Is there something racist about “Spike” ?
:p
Arlington County was a grant to Lord Arlington by the king well before the American Revolution.
I live in a pretty diverse town and always expected at some point they’d change the name of my street. Now I really expect it. “Dixie”
Wait until they decide to plow under all the Confederate soldier cemeteries.
...Arlington County was a grant to Lord Arlington by the king well before the American Revolution...
You are correct.
That is a lot of counties that must be renamed! Let’s rename them after Democratic politicians. Say, George Wallace, Ernest Hollings, Orville Faubus and so on.
A lot of Texas counties there. My guess is they will go for the lone Star flag also. This is Emperor Zero and the Roman Senate taking over.
What about Bedford Forrest.
The Confederate general and KKK founder has a park in Tennessee named after him, and monuments throughout the South?
Change the park to “I Love Trees Forrest” ?
They will most certainly go for the California state flag, which is derived from that of the short-lived Bear Flag Republic, established by American settlers in 1846.
Back in 1970, I had a flaming liberal professor who hated the flag because he considered it "racist." That year, Sen. George Murphy, a conservative Republican, was running for re-election, and he had a bumper sticker shaped like a California bear. As a prank, I was going to paste one on the door of the professor's office, but thought better of it, since everyone on campus would have known who did it.
Sul Ross State University in Texas....
I live in Louisiana, Jefferson Parish.
