[Leaning Right]

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.

Stephen stinkin’ Foster, or Fredrick f’n Chopin?

De Camptown Races??

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”

so Democrat held territory want to Destroy all Statues, Monuments and Remove all names they deem offensive or is it just for votes

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!

[refreshed]

The video was hilarious.

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

[Michael.SF.]

“Camptown Races.” ?

Hmmmmm, Don't know that one

[alstewartfan]

Don’t forget, he wrote two state songs, Swanee River and Old Kentucky Home! All remnants of the best songwriter of the 19th century must be DESTROYED!!! NOW!!!

[livius]

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.

Inmates?
Asylum?
Okay!

What next?

[Publius]

When the Civil War broke out, Stephen Foster took a stand for the Union, not the Confederacy. This is a pro-Union song he wrote during the war.

Thomas Hampson & chorus sings "That's What's the Matter"

I say let's abolish Blues Music. Blues music emerged in the South because Union soldiers had to sell their musical instruments for small amounts of money for cash to get home. Blacks who got those instruments developed the blues.

It's tainted music! Erase and Destroy!

And no black should ever play professional baseball. Union soldiers brought the game to the south, where many blacks excelled at it. It's a tainted sport for blacks who are descendants of slaves!

Will the "liberals" EVER wake up to what's happening? Erase our history and culture, and the puppetmasters will replace it with one more to their liking.

[antidemoncrat]

The blacks seem to be determined on erasing white history and contributions from this Republic. I suppose sooner or later they will demand Mt. Rushmore be dynamited and those evil whites replaced with busts of Sharpton, Jackson and, of course, Michelle and Barack.

The Gershwins are next.
