This post would have been labelled as satire a year ago. Now it's just one more statue story. Oh, and that statue is gonna go. Pittsburgh's mayor is about as leftie as you can get.

If we play our cards right guys, we could WIN primaries for conservatives and have 60 seats.
The first one being more important.

When is this insanity going to end? It has gotten so ridiculous now. When is an adult finally going to say “Sit down and shut up. Suck it up.”

The Left is trying to make sure that Americans forget the past.
Why you ask?
Because they want Americans to repeat it, with perhaps a few minor changes here and there.

Another Orwellian prediction comes to pass with liberalism.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right....George Orwell, “1984”

Don’t screw around with the playing of “My Old Kentucky Home” at the Kentucky Derby. I have never been to Kentucky, but I always get sentimental and teary eyed when I hear it on TV every May. The horses like it too!

STEPHEN FOSTER’S songs plan an important part in AMERICAN HISTORY. He may well be the FATHER of AMERICAN MUSIC.

One thing they don’t realize (aside from the fact that Stephen Foster had never seen the Suwannee River and was not even remotely from the South) is that Foster was actually pretty revolutionary because he attributed normal human feelings to blacks in his lyrics. The songs were not meant to ridicule. They were in dialect, not uncommon for any group at that time (stories and popular songs were written in “Irish” and “Italian” dialects, etc.), but he treated the black people like anybody else: falling in love, longing for home, etc.
