Mayor supports removing Confederate Monument from Forest Park

ST. LOUIS - Mayor Francis Slay is calling for the removal of a monument to Confederate soldiers from Forest Park. The mayor took the position after a special committee recommended earlier this month that the monument be either donated to the Missouri Civil War Museum or placed into storage. Either option would cost the city $129,280 to dismantle the monument, according to the report by the St. Louis Confederate Monument Reappraisal Committee.

Fools! That’s the same as ISIS destroying historical pieces with which they disagree. Totalitarian behavior.

Hard to decide who called it better, Aldous Huxley or George Orwell, but it’s easy to see history repeating itself, a la the Soviets.

Its bad that just a few dumb radicals who know probably nothing about history an probably little else, can cause things like this to happen. In their small minds they are making a difference. The always persecuted class . Trained by liberals who love to see them disgruntled at every turn.

I was afraid something like this would happen after that woman in South Carolina began attacking that state’s historic monuments.

For 90 years, my Republican cousin, Henry Kiel, held the record for longest service as St. Louis Mayor (12 years, 3 terms) until this jackass Slay broke it. Kiel would be turning over in his grave to see what 7 decades of Democrat rule have done to his beloved city.
