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 $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
Brian Galumbeck. You can’t do that it will taken as a RACIST statement from all us whites. There is no laws protecting white people.
The people that had the monuments needs to be fired. Anyone that would do that needs to be removed from office and sent to jail for 20 years. They HATE the USA and need to be kicked our of our country!!!!!
Y DON’T U PEOPLE STAND UP TO TEASE FUCKERS…. YOU$#%&!@*ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUN’S…. THEN YOU SHOULD BE DOING THE SAME THING FOR THIS……..
Demoncratic extremist terrorists are ruining our country and the hustory.
Shameful
People who believe in removing history they don’t like have got to be the most ignorant people in the entire world today.
There is nothing more offensive than a Libiot claiming to have been offended.
CRUEL ACT.
Why would any one remove a monument??
No that traitor wants to be responsible for the war that erases his beloved terrorists.
