Because Southern whites don't vote Democrat.

If they did, there wouldn't be a peep about them from national Democratic Party officials.

Changing their history. They are blaming republicans for every bad deed done by democrats past. Getting rid of the hardware makes the new narrative harder to contradict.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

Remember, with leftists the issue is never the issue.

Last week it was Russia, this week Nazis, next week statues

The issue is Revolution. Always keep that in mind.

Yes, revolution is the goal, and the left continues to succeed with so much moderate Republican help.

The statues and kneeling during the Anthem are simply a way of hating whitey.

Here’s one thing to hit them back with - Obama’s family owned slaves. It might slow the little totalitarian creeps...

https://www.educationviews.org/barack-obamas-ancestors-owned-slaves/

On his mother’s side the 44th president’s (a) descendant of slave owners

” Obama’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, George Washington Overall... he owned two slaves in Kentucky: a 15-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man... Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Duvall, also owned a pair of slaves listed in an 1850 census record. They were a 60-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman. In fact, the Duvalls were a wealthy family whose members were descended from a major landowner, Maureen Duvall, whose estate owned at least 18 slaves in the 17th century.”

Well, I think the real reason is that the War of Northern Aggression is still being waged in the land of ideas. It is always reduced to slavery. But, it was more about money, tariffs, and the growth of federal taxation and the centralization of power in the federal government . . . and we have seen the consequences. Now, the free exercise of commerce is diminished (think Obamacare), and even free speech is endangered, as well as Christianity along with the Judeo-Christian foundations of our civilization.

No they didn’t. Widows and children raised the monuments to remember husbands and fathers. The men who served under great generals dedicated the monuments to honor them. Not everything is about politics.

>> Remember, with leftists the issue is never the issue <<

When it comes to Leftists there are two rules that never fail and have no exceptions.

1. The Leftist mind is NEVER satisfied.

2. Leftists are like burgulars, ALWAYS looking for a unlocked door to break in and control your life.
