BILOXI, MS (WLOX) -
Confederate statues and monuments across the country are coming down. Officials at Beauvoir said the statues would be welcomed at the last home of Jefferson Davis with open arms.
“We ask the cooperation of any and all fair-minded people to help with Beauvoir’s acquisition of these statues,” said assistant director Andrea Little in a news release.
Many Americans find monuments to the Confederacy offensive and feel they should not be displayed publicly. Officials at Beauvoir believe they have the proper place to display the statues with historical context.
“Our vision is to include the monuments as part of our historical narrative at Beauvoir,” said Little. “By expressing our desire for these monuments, we are in no way defending or condoning slavery, which was and is an evil institution that has no color or creed and has existed since the dawn of time.”
Little said the mission of Beauvoir is to educate visitors on the events of the Civil War and celebrate our heritage as Americans.

And send the following to Beauvoir, quickly, before the anti-Trump Republican senators further encourage the communist terrorists to blow it up!
VICE Magazine Tweet Calls for Blowing Up Mount Rushmore

I have to believe that in most cases these statues are being destroyed, out of spontaneous zeal, as I would put it.
I wait in hope to be contradicted.
Destroying history/truth has always been easy for the leftists.
I’ll point out...as old DDR (East Germany) went south, and integrated into West Germany...then Germany itself...statues got pulled down.
No one took an accounting. I would take a humble guess that a minimum of three-hundred statues got pulled. Based on discussion....most all got taken to some remote city or state property, and dumped into the middle of nowhere.
Now, the most famous of these that got removed...was the Hitler-horse statue, or ‘Trabenes Pferd’. It was a bronze statue of a horse...no swords...no fancy words...no Roman character...just a horse.
There were two of these and they sat at the old Chancellor building in Berlin. They disappeared one day. Government folks simply put them into some military storage building. Then....oddly enough, they were stolen, and put onto the open market (getting caught by the police).
I think all of these Civil War statues will be removed to some dump or hidden city property....and will lay there until ‘recovery’.
There are no fair-minded democrats. Those in the Ctrl-Left are thugs - pure evil.
Katrina took care of that, actually. They had to rebuild it.
My criticism of this article...this is great to know, but how can we deplorables out here help? Nothing stated who to contact, etc. if you link at their page, nothing is said about the statues.
What a gross exaggeration. Over 700 of them on public property, and there's been not even a dozen removed.
No need to bother to read the rest of the article when it starts off like this.
Or, you know, 62% support them and only 27% want them down, according to a new poll from NPR and Marist. That's a national poll too, not even one of just the South.

The statues are what Alfred Hitchcock called “the MacGuffin”. Just something to rage against as given in Alensky’s RULES FOR RADICALS.
“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
You silly. Beauvoir was what was seriously damaged:
“The main house and library were badly damaged, and other outbuildings were destroyed, during Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005. Beauvoir survived a similar onslaught from Hurricane Camille in 1969. The house was restored and has been re-opened, while work continues on the library.”

Yes. One has to ask, why now? What’s up? The final push ????
It sure seems like it!
