A full-fledged cultural cleansing of the Southern states is underway as lawmakers debate whether to remove Confederate flags and rename schools and parks named after Confederate war heroes.
There are also discussions in Washington, D.C. about removing Confederate-related statues from the U.S. Capitol — including a statue of Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy.
“It’s something to think about,” Sen. Harry Reid told reporters.
Republicans, meanwhile, are leading the charge in South Carolina and Mississippi to remove the Confederate flag — called a symbol of hate and racism.
Wal-Mart jumped on the band wagon, too – announcing they will remove all Confederate merchandise from its stores. EBay announced they will no longer sell Confederate flags or any other memorabilia.
Has the Department of Homeland Security classified the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy as right-wing hate groups, yet?
Meanwhile, there are dozens of reports from around the southeast of lawmakers hoping to rename parks and schools and streets that were originally named in honor of Confederates.
*Tennessee lawmakers are demanding that a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest be removed from the statehouse;
*Baltimore lawmakers want to rename Robert E. Lee Park;
*Dallas lawmakers are considering demands to rename Stonewall Jackson Elementary School;
*St. Louis lawmakers are debating over the future of a confederate statue in a city park;
*Commissioners in Hillsborough, North Carolina are debating whether to remove the words “Confederate Memorial” from a Confederate memorial.
It won’t be too long before they start renaming cities and towns and counties named after Confederates. And I reckon it’s only a matter of time before they bulldoze the Confederate grave yards and war memorials too.
Maybe we can just pretend the Civil War never happened.

To me, this is the most important line in this editorial.
It is also why there will be a complete Republican rout in 2016. Not one Republican who runs will win.
Nobody on the Republican side has any reason to go vote. Republicans rolled over for every Obama initiative and opposed nothing, and now even volunteer NEW liberal ideas.
Democrats, they still have a reason to vote.
Republicans don't.
Good point.
I saw a great two-panel Far-Side-Style cartoon recently. Two professers sitting at the bar, drinking. One goes, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
The other goes, "Yeah, but those who DO learn from history are doomed to watch those who DON'T learn from history."
We need to ban the use of the words civil war, it’s hurtful to so many decendents of those who lost their lives.
Maybe the administration can announce they are rededicating it to other individuals with the same surnames: Booker T. Washington and Sheila Jackson Lee.

The label “War of Northern Aggression” is perhaps too judgmental. Maybe “War of Northern Micro-Aggression.”
Soon they and their marxist masters will be calling for erecting statues to Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Che, Castro and Mao to replace dead confederate generals.
how about Idi Amin?
What about all that stuff in West Virginia named for a certain klansman??

If “America” goes through with this Soviet-style, cultural-marxist cleansing, then “America” itself will be the enemy that needs to be brought to its knees.
Otherside of North Carolina?
Wouldn’t work.
Booker T. Washington was a conservative republican
I firmly believe the left has reached a psychotic break, a state of paranoid schizophrenia. This reminds me of Stalin’s purges, or Mao’s Cultural Revolution. They felt a sense of waning importance & desperate need for control.
Let’s ban Tchaikovsky because he was gay. Or Shakespeare because he wrote an anti-Semitic play (I’m Jewish). Everyone is going to have some beef against a certain historical figure. How would feminists feel about Margaret Sanger, who advocated sterilization for certain races?
What’s going on is the obsession with white Judeo-Christian patriarchy. These people seem to find it even in the drinking water. This is going to be summer of mass hysteria.
what America needs is the cultural annihilation of the presstitutes forming the mainstream media
collectively they are desrtoying America
Why stop in the south? Isn’t there a Confederate memorial at Arlington? How about shutting down the Daughters of the Confederacy? There is an island, Johnsons Island, located in Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie, Ohio. An extremely haunting place because there are over 200 Condererate Officers buried there, many were Generals who were held captive. They died of the elements, typhoid fever, shot by guards and starvation. After the war, families asked for the remains to be returned to their homes in the south and were denied. By 1886 the crude grave sites were in shambles and not really distinguishable as graves. Finally, in the 1900s there was a memorial erected, I say take it down and force the return of the remains to the South.
what we are witnessing is a social group that couldn’t cope with the Christian response to the shootings. Rev Al became useless, as did everyone else fomenting division - this was merely the closest available object to focus on to suit their needs of division and strife
Read some history. This is what all totalitarian governments do to those groups who may oppose them.
Yep. First thing the Communists do is take away a peoples history so it can be replaced with their airbrushed version.
