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:
When Obama is gone the towns should have to pay to put everyone of them back.
This is just like the Nazis book burning ,my God people can’t you see it !
But that is history,we need to learn about it
Ron Benton now we can add Obama and anyone that walks lock step with this Dictator
So sad cost 170.000 to move it could feed a lot of people! What is wrong with people? They want to remove everything that our History stands for they are cowards who are giving in and giving up!
This is illegal. You can deny your history but you will not change it!!
WHAT A BUNCH OF PUSSIES
Guess history never happened?
What a bunch of self righteous idiots .
BS
New Orleans sucks.
