I moved from Florida to Kentucky in 2006, and didn’t know Buddy Dyer was still mayor. Of course it’s no surprise that he is doing his part to erase the history of the Confederacy.

[onedoug]

Burying the Confederate past significantly undermines the civil rights movement.

Thanks, blueplum for making that clear to me. Mind if I run with it?

[Williams]

George Waahington and Thomas Jefferson are the real targets.

It will be fun if the residents of DC try to change the name of the district—grab the popcorn!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Oh, yes, they will go for the founders after they finish with the Confederate monuments.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

...and those who erase history are morally culpable for ALL that follows.

[Reddy]

Yep, Washington, Jefferson, etc. were slave owners. Must take down all of their statues.

GMTA see post 27

[Lurkinanloomin]

Madison, Monroe, Wythe and Henry Lee III, father of Robert E. Lee and founding father.

They will go after them next.

[Uncle Sam 911]

They should have put plague germs in the box before sealing it.

“Mayor Buddy Dyer”...did a double take, thought I read Bud Dwyer.

[Red Badger]

We have vaccinations for that now.....................

[Red Badger]

I don’t think he’s coming back.....................

[dfwgator]

They probably found a Nazi flag.

The thought that popped into my mind when I read this was the last scenes in TIME BANDITS.

“MOM! DAD! DON’T TOUCH IT! IT’S EVIL!”

[Delta 21]

YES. Everything in that box is RACIST !!

"I thought it was all going to be dust,"
Compared to that 1957 Plymouth Fury that was in a time capsule in the ground in Oklahoma Cty for just over 50 yrs. When they dug it up they found it deteriorated into a literal rust bucket beyond restoration. All I know if I was there and Marty Robbins or Little Richard started blasting out of the car's radio, I'd HEAD FOR THE HILLS!! :)

....They intend to use this event in Charlottesville as a catalyst to remove all Confederate monuments...

When are they going to move on the Confederate section of Arlington cemetery and the monument there?

[subterfuge]

No, Buddy Dyer ALONE decided to move the monument after one line blogger kept harrassing him. No vote by the people or even city council. Of course Dyer is a dem.

Dyer’s 17 yo son crashed a brand new Lexus into a house at 1AM a few years ago. He said the brakes failed. Ha! Cops found a bag of weed in the bushes but the whole incident just went away, amazingly.

Wasn’t the “Daughters of Confederate Soldiers a black Women’s group?
