As a Republican, I have no objection to keeping around old statues of Democrats. If you tear down all the confederate (Democrat) statutes, where will the pigeons poop?

If CS monuments and statuary cannot be respected where they stand , let the Sons of Confederate Veterans take them on , for re-placement where they are loved and respected .

Let no these statues be as pearls before swine

Hannity had a guest on tonight who said it best. If you must remove anything that supported and promoted slavery, you’d have to dispense with the Democrat party.

How long are we going to let the tail wag the dog? Why does the majority have to yield to a few?

If you want to be different, go your way; the majority will not bother you.

The statues and monuments seem safe in towns, rural areas and at the state level. It’s only in Democrat-infested cities where they suddenly became a problem in 2015, after a century of no one, Left, Right or anywhere in-between, minding.

Who cares what the majority of Americans want?

Who cares about a legal election with standard processes?

The important thing is Snowflake Liberals have feelings about nonsensical things.

Can't we just grant them their every wish and immediately?

This is what we have to remember.....the news is playing up this tiny fraction of yobs that acting insane. Commies are like dogs returning to their own vomit. They ain’t got nothing new. Stand in the gap. Pray like you mean it. Don’t let the bastards get you down

ok, so this is a defining moment for Lefties, who have becried that Pres. Trump didn’t get the ‘majority vote’ and the Electoral College should be disbanded because ‘majority vote’ should matter.

The majority just said ‘back off’. Whatever will the Lefties do?

Of the 1,125 adults surveyed, 62% believe they should remain, 27% believe they should be removed because they are offensive and 11% are unsure.

And this is a national poll too. Imagine what the numbers are like among just Southerners, as it's really irrelevant what people in California think about a statue in Tennessee.

Shows you how out-of-touch the hysterical mainstream media, social media and Democratic Party politicians have been these past few days.

Majority of Americans oppose removing Confederate Monuments.

The radicals trying to erase history couldn't care less what the majority of Americans want - they'll let us know what we need to think.

Of course we do. But the petulant children from our irresponsible neighbors disagree.

This has nothing to do with the Confederacy, it is an attack on the conservative South.

As was predicted, we are now seeing liberal fascism manifest into violence.

Its explained historically here in a very good read:

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

This is why the “alt.left “ wants to refine US history, beause the historical roots of the alt left are very clearly fascist, and they now use David Duke to brand all white Americans who respect their history as racists.This is race mongering of the first order, making Rev. Al Sharpton proud.
The balkanization of America has begun, and they must be stopped.

Be proud America, do not allow black community field hand mentality keep devolve the black community into unAmerican mentality.There now is no slavery, and no one is now alive who established slavery. And it is the field hand black community radicals who want to rfesurrect slavery for their own nefarious political ends.

The Spouthern Poverty Law Center and the other groups are far more dangerous to America than David Dule and his neo-nazis ever will be, becausae we know who they are. But America yet does not know the wages for racial and ethnic nationalist liberal fascism now growing across racial lines.

Civil war is the goal of these liberal fascists.They have lost political power with the election of President Trump and now mean to seize it through violence in the streets.

Time to roll them up and put them behind bars.Soon their guns will come out, and then its Katy bar the door.The people will settle it without the government.

The majority of us want the statues and our history protected and preserved... but the statues are coming down. Maybe it is time for THE MAJORITY to adopt their local statue and DEFEND it. Not as a Nazi, an Antifa, Republican or Democrat, but as an American.

We must remember, the utmost important thing to a Left loon Democratic Party of America member is to feel good about themselves. If it takes lies to do that, then, truth be damned.

If liberals hate the confederacy and love Lincoln so much..

I suggest Trump does what Lincoln did and suspend habis corpus and just start arresting liberals and imprisoning them without trial!

It’s a disservice and dishonest to erase history! It also minimalizes the Feat of the REPUBLICANS to defeat slavery.
They want to erase and CHANGE our history
