Can we vote to deport Stacey Abrams to Liberia?
I agree. Stone Mountain is not a monument to domestic terrorism. We should also not elect idiots to office.
The GA gubernatorial election is over. Brian Kemp won last Tuesday. Nov is just a gesture.
She's a truly memorable actress, iconic really. I can't imagine the Golden Age of Hollywood without her. And from all accounts she was a very decent person.
Blah blah blah. She’s irrelevant. She’s going to lose.
This reminds me of jihadists blowing up giant mountainside carving of Buddha in Afghanistan to try to scrub clean any history they don’t like.
Abrams is a progressive jihadist.
The world shrieked in horror as the Taliban demolished the giant statues of demons. Stone Mountain IS a monument to demons, but it is history, too.
I believe you’ll find that the “monument to domestic terrorism” refers to the KKK. Stone Mountain was the site of the Satanic ritual that was the rebirth of the Klan.
On November 25 of the same year, Thanksgiving Day, a small group, including fifteen robed and hooded “charter members” of the new organization, met at the summit of Stone Mountain to create a new iteration of the Klan. They were led by William J. Simmons, and included two elderly members of the original Klan. As part of their ceremony, they set up on the summit an altar covered with a flag, opened a Bible, and burned a 16-foot cross.
Fundraising for the monument resumed in 1923. In October of that year, Venable granted the Klan easement with perpetual right to hold celebrations as they desired. The influence of the UDC continued, in support of Mrs. Plane’s vision of a carving explicitly for the purpose of creating a Confederate memorial. She suggested in a letter to the first sculptor, Gutzon Borglum:
“I feel it is due to the Klan[,] which saved us from Negro dominations [sic] and carpetbag rule, that it be immortalized on Stone Mountain. Why not represent a small group of them in their nightly uniform approaching in the distance?”
Stone Mountain park officially opened on April 14, 1965 — 100 years to the day after Lincoln’s assassination.
Thanks! I was not aware of that history. So I guess you could say that Democrats (KKK) built it, and now want to tear it down. Trying to forget the past will not make it go away.
Never fear, Lois Lerner is lead investigator on her case. < /sarc >
I pray you are right, but given the big push the socialist dems had in The Sixth District with Jack "Ass_off" and the outside money they will be pouring in, absolutely nothing is a given. She's already cluttering up the airwaves with propaganda ads.
The bloodiest day in US history was fought in Maryland, which remained in the Union.
I don’t agree with tearing it down. I do agree that the state shouldn’t be running an amusement park there. I certainly don’t think any Christians should ever THINK about taking their children to an amusement park and “history-entertainment show” on land dedicated to Satan.
This scare talk is just a bunch of the usual hyped up drivel by the press. Stacey Abrams has zero chance to win against Brian Kemp. Georgia is a red state and that’s not changing anytime soon. Brian Kemp will be Governor, Geoff Duncan will be Lt Governor and Raffensperger will be Secretary of State. It’s over.
