Thank goodness there is no more Stephen Foster! Removing that statue solves the problems of Pittsburg, no more minority crime, financial problems, nothing!!!

While San Fran dedicated a terminal at the airport to pedophile Harvey Milk.

#9: "Lenin did it. Stalin did it. Mao did it. Castro did it. Pol Pot did it. Now our "fellow Americans" do it."

This is barbarism.

I hate it. I may dislike various historical figures or events, but how much luck would I have getting a statue of a murderer like Lenin or Mao removed?

Good grief,that's a thought! Can you imagine how that would sound to their ears? A long cry from "Camptown Ladies"...

Of course, I said that, and all I could think of was Blazing Saddles when the white guys were dancing to "Camptown Ladies"!

(hat tip Greenfield) The hate-filled left's antics demonstrate that they are not fighting the usual lefty bugaboos---racism, sexism, homophobia, income inequality, or war. They are fighting we, the people. The tearing down of statues is not because they deplore racists, but because the statues memorialize Americans and American history. Just as Soviet-era Communists didn’t just kill people; they erased them from photos and books, making them non-persons. The goal then was to achieve total control of the present through the past.

Just another depressing reminder of the "Obama legacy." Most legitimate leaders see as their goal to uplift a nation and its people.

Obama's actions served to demoralize a nation......his legacy is one of marginalizing law-abiding, go-getter Americans.

Obama triggered the rise of misfits, miscreants, ne're-do-wells, and misanthropes, and enabled them to hold sway over American culture.

The detrimental results of his presidency speak to Obama's hatred for superpower America.
