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:
A disgrace The Governors allow this. A total anti American disgrace. How many black confederate soldiers did Lee kill, or black farmers, or destroy black farms??????
Leave history alone.
Morons are everywhere doing all the damage they can to freedom and liberty.
Removing history sounds like Islam terrorist go in countries and destroy statues
Isn’t it ironic that the LEFT hates CENSURE and has been the ones who have fought it for decades? Of course that doesn’t apply to anything they want CENSURED. Including TRUTH, HISTORY, ETC.
see what you started nikki???
YOU CAN NOT CHANGE HISTORY ! YOU MUST ACCEPT THE PAST FOR WHAT IE WAS’ WHETHER GOOD OR BAD !
I Hope They Come Back and Haunt There Fucking Stupid Asses !!!!
Attacking historical monuments for people who complain, makes adults behave like children & become intolerant of others. Why couldn’t the complainers, “just walk by”!
It won’t stop there, eventually they will remove the US flag, Pearl Harbor Memorial, Grave of the Unknown Soldier, ect…
ridiculous. liberals are a plague
