A member of the Baltimore chapter of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans said the hatred of the flag is an attempt to hide history.

I'm surprised they would let anyone like this actually live in Baltimore.

This IS Taliban tactics, destroy any image that is objectionable, especially those with great historical or sentimental value.

She's catering to her constituents. Minorities largely too stupid to understand anything of consequence. We screwed up big time when we gave these defects the right to vote. Now all she has to do is to keep them happy and she gets to stay in office. And she'll make them happy by focusing on non issues.

And that, brothers and sisters, is why a democracy is doomed to fail.

Malcolm X Park is sure to replace it.

Eventually they'll get around to this...

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:

Larry Grathwohl:

"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

No. The hatred of the flag is an attempt to divert attention from the failed administration.

Look, a squirrel! And there, a shiny object!

(Stupid voters, you got what you asked for!)

"Why do these racists hate history?"

Unmoor a people from their history to make them more malleable to absorb a new reality. The Left is channeling Chairman Mao.

Even more surprising given that Maryland never joined the Confederacy.

When I was returning from CPAC maybe ten years ago, I drove a short distance off I-95 to visit the “Stonewall Jackson Shrine”, which is the plantation office building where he died.

It was a moving experience for me to stand in the room where he took his last breath and his soul ascended to Heaven. General Jackson was a military genius, a fascinating personality, and a fine man of true Christian character.

He has long been a hero of mine.

As we natives and denizens of Baltimore know, RE Lee park, around Lake Roland, was for years an unofficial dog park.

Now it’s an official dog park with fences and a usage ‘fee’.

This whole notion of getting rid of this flag is totally misplaced. If we are going to do something with substance, we should ban the political Party that upheld slavery without apology.

It is the Democrat Party that has this heritage of hate. No Republican EVER held slaves - ONLY DEMOCRATS. The Democrat Party has NEVER apologized for slavery! If we are going to ban anything meaningful because of slavery - BAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY !!!

“Oh, the irony...wasn’t Lee shot by one of his own men?”

You are thinking of Jackson.

As absurd as the notion is I hear that Gold’s Gym has received a ton of flack from the mouth-breathers based on that one picture. America has gone insane.

She said it will take legal measures to make the change and that is time to move past divisive symbols, WBAL reported.

And what divisive symbol is she going to replace it with, pray tell?

The most ridiculous part is that those WU folks didn't realize they were pawns in a larger, longer-term war in which they's be the eventual casualties - Yuri Bezmenov describes the plan.
