Bread and circuses are often enough to distract the masses from the more serious shortcomings of government. And so it is that the pandering to Black Lives Matter and politically correct college student demonstrators serve to help them forget that they are poorly educated, poorly served and just plain poor.
In the city of New Orleans, with so many other more important issues, the city council has voted to remove statues of Confederate civil war heroes in order to placate loud mouthed whiners who are “offended” by the statues, rather than deal with the real problems the city faces.
The monuments are of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard, and the Battle of Liberty Place. They mark historical figures and events that cannot be erased. The city council voted 6 – 1 for their removal, and declared them public nuisances.
It is estimated that removal will cost $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
I think whoever is making these decisions could use some serious “couch” time with a good psychiatrist. Removing any monument…. removing the “In God We Trust” from anything, banning the Bible in a motel room, and on and on and on…..does all that change anything? I don’t think so….especially the historical things….don’t the a-holes know by removing a monument you don’t change the history. Folks, whatever is depicted by the monument still actually happened even if the said monument is moved and/or destroyed!
ASSHOLES Leave History ALONE!!!!!
Once we have no past, we’ll become a giant dying welfare office. When our economy collapses, al, jesse, 0, kilry. burden, lynch, etc. will kick in a few of their looted billions to get us by for a day or so.
THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree but if you look around the world most the world leader rejected God and peoples so wicked Satan they’re on the rise
Can we remove Oasswipe now and make him part of history early? Please.
If you don’t know history you are condemned to repeat it, this time the civil war will be against the liberals.
Like it or not this is a part of history, this is what the rag heads did to their antiquities.
then they all need to be fired
Pretend it away the new battle cry of racism. Close your eyes and it’s gone. Those that are bitching never endured or took part of any of it. And think they have the right to$#%&!@* What ignorance .
