Washington Examiner ^ | 09 Feb 2019 | Katelyn Caralle

Embattled Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam says that he wants to take down Confederate statues and monuments in the state.

“I will take a harder line,” Northam told the Washington Post amid a scandal stemming from a racist photograph on his medical school yearbook page. “If there are statues, if there monuments out there that provoke this type of hatred and bigotry, they need to be in museums.” Northam is facing calls to resign ...

Hmmm A “Harder line on Confederates”, huh???

Gee.... What the HELL is going to do about fellow democrat Sheila Jackson-Lee??? She’s named after Stonewall JACKSON, and Robert E. LEE...

Sooooo, lemme get this straight, a baby-killing democrat puts on blackface and/or Klan robes, and it’s the suddenly the fault of the Confederates...????

One just can’t make up this level of stupid...

To all my dear American Southern brethren... have you had enough of these people yet???

Great! Deflect the focus on himself and create a new scapegoat. Of course! Pull out all of those pesky Civil War mementos. Lucky slavery is not the target. They would have torn down historic Jamestown, the first place African slaves were introduced in 1619 to tend the tobacco fields. Both slavery and tobacco are the evil stain of Virginia history. I hold my nose! Virginia is no more! Nuke em!

That photo, of the black face and the KKK had to be submitted in a sealed envelope with the rest of the photos to the yearbook staff. There was no other way they could have been submitted. It was impossible for Northam not to have submitted it himself. Why did Northam submit it? This POS has not answered that question. All he has done is send rabbits out for the media to chase down rabbit holes.

He goes wherever the “power/position” path leads him....
I cannot believe the stupidity in charge of so much and so important positions in this country.

Where has wisdom gone? where has knowledge gone? whwere has common sense gone? where are the strong men as leaders? where are we headed with the lunacy going on in swamp land!!

This has happened so quickly... I know it’s been brooding for years, but they are out in the open now... selling their stipidity and their audience don’t know any better than to go with them.. tear down any semblance of history. . of what made us a great nation! destroying a monument.. it brings on more demands to destroy our history. they live in the greatest country in the world and they want to change it into their swampland!

God help us!! You gave us this United States of America! the founding fathers gave us a masterpiece on how to live and keep it... “if we can”... and now we are being destroyed from within.

When Kruchev pounded his shoes at the UN.. he said he’d bury us... he’s gone .... our enemy is within our borders! and from the pit of hell!

Northam is a psychopath politician to more of an extent than most. If you understand this, you will understand his past and future behavior.

Our present day monuments, whatever they represent, are nothing but “stored political value” for leftists like Northam. He’ll get extra political value when commissioning replacement monuments.

Those replacements, with progressive, socialist-communist themes will not last quite as long, I’m sure.

Yes we do. They fail to realize that the statues of Jefferson Washington and others will be next on deck.

Yeah, Ralph, show us how much of a man you are and go abort some confederate statues and born babies.

Be sure to keep the statues comfortable.

I haven’t seen the real evidence that it was him. After Comey came out about the monuments. This could be another staged event, like Charlottesville. Or just Northam and the Dems trying to keep people on board. Monuments seem to be their go to. Though I’ve seen no evidence that blacks are offended by the Monuments.

Unless he could do something by executive order. I think he would fail.
