The MSM will see if 24-7 propaganda can move the numbers a little.

They will re-poll in a week or two.

If the numbers don’t move they will just move on to their next manufactured crisis—perhaps jump back to “climate change” if a hurricane manages to gain enough strength to threaten a trailer park somewhere on the east coast—that is always good for a few laughs.

This has nothing to do with the Confederacy, it is an attack on the conservative South.

As was predicted, we are now seeing liberal fascism manifest into violence.

Its explained historically here in a very good read:

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

This is why the “alt.left “ wants to refine US history, beause the historical roots of the alt left are very clearly fascist, and they now use David Duke to brand all white Americans who respect their history as racists.This is race mongering of the first order, making Rev. Al Sharpton proud.
The balkanization of America has begun, and they must be stopped.

Be proud America, do not allow black community field hand mentality keep devolve the black community into unAmerican mentality.There now is no slavery, and no one is now alive who established slavery. And it is the field hand black community radicals who want to rfesurrect slavery for their own nefarious political ends.

The Spouthern Poverty Law Center and the other groups are far more dangerous to America than David Dule and his neo-nazis ever will be, becausae we know who they are. But America yet does not know the wages for racial and ethnic nationalist liberal fascism now growing across racial lines.

Civil war is the goal of these liberal fascists.They have lost political power with the election of President Trump and now mean to seize it through violence in the streets.

Time to roll them up and put them behind bars.Soon their guns will come out, and then its Katy bar the door.The people will settle it without the government.

The majority of us want the statues and our history protected and preserved... but the statues are coming down. Maybe it is time for THE MAJORITY to adopt their local statue and DEFEND it. Not as a Nazi, an Antifa, Republican or Democrat, but as an American.

We must remember, the utmost important thing to a Left loon Democratic Party of America member is to feel good about themselves. If it takes lies to do that, then, truth be damned.

Sorry to disagree...it is not just an attack on the South, it is an attack on the majority of Americans, North, South, East and West, that want their heritage and history preserved.

If liberals hate the confederacy and love Lincoln so much..

I suggest Trump does what Lincoln did and suspend habis corpus and just start arresting liberals and imprisoning them without trial!

It’s a disservice and dishonest to erase history! It also minimalizes the Feat of the REPUBLICANS to defeat slavery.
They want to erase and CHANGE our history

I say Mr President should authorize an emergency bill to legalize the funds that would pay for security of key historical statues. Pay veterans to park in a rented RV, use video cameras, root out the antifa ringleaders and strip them of citizenship.

“Can’t we just grant them their every wish and immediately? “

Pay for them to move to KKKalifornia then approve of Calexit before Californians get to vote on it.

This is just another attempt by the slime ball leftist to change everything of our American heritage. People of the South are proud of our southern heritage. We ain’t going to take down every flag, every statute to Robert E. Lee that these slime want taken down. They can turn NY, Chicago, LA, Seattle, etc. into a leftist slime hell hole of despair and corruption, but we ain’t playing their game. They can go to hell. GO TO HELL, we ain’t playing your commie game.

This all reminds me of the NAG’s. They hate Conservative men because we put our women on pedestals, while they say nothing about the countries where men are killing their women for leaving the house with their burkhas an inch too high or performing clitorectomies on their daughters.

Same crap here. Let’s petition to remove every liberal statue that promoted the KKK and the Democrats and watch the Democrats lie to us.

Doesn’t matter to liberals. The vast majority of Americans opposed gay marriage and they got their way through the liberal judges.

you can bet everything you own that when the commie Dims ever get control of all three again, the prez and congress, that they will destroy every rule, every law, everything that has to do with elections or any other object that gets in their way. If, IF they ever get all three again, then we the of the conservative side can pack it in, we will never win another election. The electoral collage will be the first thing they destroy, so they can never lose another election. They are planning all this stuff now, so when they can win all three, or even the WH and Senate, they will do it. They will beat any RINOs in the House into submission to do it. The time IS coming. One day all this will come to past if Americans do not wake up.

The minority can force its will on the majority as long as the majority isn’t will to stop it. So far that seems to be the case.

The demrats are following the Muslim approach in destroying historical monuments. To destroy a civilization, you must destroy their history.

I like your thinking. Several of us are a bit long in the tooth. Notice that most of the mobsters are young and jobless. They are paid by the leading mobsters like Soros, et al.

The majority of Americans are not under this influence of mass hysteria. These are nothing more than a mob of high chair tyrants, kicking and screaming and breaking stuff because they didn’t get their way. Mentally unfit for anything else in our society.
Need to get on the phone and email representatives and demand that they initiate protocols to protect memorials on public grounds because they belong to THE PEOPLE.
Its not up to angry mobs or some city council member to make those decisions.
