Because Southern whites don't vote Democrat.

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

[Sacajaweau]

Cuz they put them there in the first place?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Q. How is the Left going to avoid a Second Civil War?

A. By wiping out all traces of the first one.

[Sgt_Schultze]

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.

[Doogle]

....because, as president, Odungo couldn’t
order them removed....

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.

[DCBryan1]

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.

"... especially President Trump..." who threatens these hate/terrorist groups...congress could help POTUS and We The People by legislating law that makes masks and violence and pay to protest a felony. Immediately!

[Red Badger]

Because they were all erected by Democrats for Democrats....................and depict Democrats.............

[MrChips]

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.

The dims are trying to eradicate history much in the same way the Soviets did. The past doesn’t fit their narrative.
So, change history to fit their plans.

[ManHunter]

That’s an easy one: To hide the legacy of Democratic racism.

[Perseverando]

Thanks bro! BTTT!

[Boomer One]

The real reason is that they have warehouses full of Obama statues waiting to be put in their place.

There’s historic liability for the dems, since their Party was originally founded to safeguard slavery.

Their current narrative is that they switched sides: they don’t want that.

what they want is to say conservatives conceived of, initiated, maintained and safeguarded slavery, which was abolished by the dens.

they’re uncomfortable with their own history.

that’s why the current military arm of the den party -antifa- is attacking and removing commemorations to the old militant wing of the Dem party, Dixie generals.

they’re embarrassed about that.

they prefer to say Repubs did it and they, the Dems, had always taken the lead in combating that.

My guess is that new cultural things like the movies of Dinesh D’Souza really scared the tar out of them and they’re trying to head that off the pass.

[fella]

It’s just another example of the Nazi style “Gleichschaltung” being practiced by the Left world wide.

[Agamemnon]

I have a strategy for Trump to consider and on which I believe he is within his Constitutional right to act unilaterally.

Take back the narrative on all this "monuments to racists" nonsense by issuing an E.O. extending Federal protection to all memorials to all US veterans.

Public Law 810 (1958) makes provision for treating Confederate soldiers as US veterans in the context of grave memorials and other veterans' benefits.

Make all damage and defacements made to statues and memorials to military honorees punishable under Federal Law such as applies to damage to any Federal property - maybe an E.O. in this instance can apply greater penalties to military memorials + criminal trespass charges.

Additionally:

1. Make provision that municipalities will have to go through lengthy Federal review for movement, removal, and/or re-placement of any military monument, including environmental impact statements, historicity review, etc.

2. Require that residents within a jurisdiction will have to vote on approval of a physical relocation or removal of a Federally protected military monument before the proposal can be sent to the Feds for consideration.

3. Mandate that all monuments must be Federally protected and openly view-able to the public in their present place until approval to move or remove them has been granted by the Dept. of the Interior, the Department of Defense, and the Veteran's Administration.

4. Mandate that all military memorials and statues be returned to their places of display as they were as of August 12, 2017.

5. Maintenance of memorials will be required as they had ever been before: the expense will continue to be borne by the municipality, and continuing Federal aid to the municipality will be contingent upon compliance with adequate maintenance and upkeep of the memorial and/or statue.

Trump should make a public Oval Office address to the Nation declaring the rationale for the E.O., describing the history of Nazi's v. Communists in post-war Germany, linking the same thing to the "White supremacists" and "Antifa" today. Calling out the feckless politicians and the media who have rolled over to the mobs.

He should then instruct Congress to pass legislation which codifies his E.O. Additionally, he should encourage Congress to begin investigations into the funding sources of the professional agitators of neo-Nazis and Antifa-Communists and impose fines and financial crawl backs from organizations tied to seditious activity.

Result: the rabble will be identified, will likely be dispersed, made prosecute-able, and American Heritage will be protected.

Where do you suppose the best place would be to give an idea like this some traction?

FReegards!

[Revolutionary]

The dems are trying to foment violence on a large scale.

They know that attacking General Lee etc. amounts to fighting words down South. But they don’t understand conservative Christians. We have self control. But we stand at the ready to defend the Constitution.

Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past

Words taken out context are the very nature of quotes.

This quote stands on its own ... context adds nothing.
Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.

These quotes, all taken out of context, stand on their own.

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” - Orwell, 1984

They don’t care, they just want to gin up the Black/lib white vote.
