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:
That is so wrong. Someone needs to pay for this act.
This kind of thing is happening all over the world. Not just here in The U.S.. It is part of the Muslim Agenda to change Christian values and Morals.
wtf
Amen Linda McClelland Wade I feel the same way
okay then, let’s remove ALL monuments! Including Martin Luther King Jr!!!!!!!!!! Let’s put up faires and unicorns in their places! If History doesn’t mean anything to a true blooded American, let’s all just live in obama’s FANTASYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
no matter what they remove it will not change history
Dumbasses.
I hope they can put them in prison for it. They are messing with History. Why don’t the southerners fight back. Put their pictures in the paper and on T.V. and let every one see who they are and wait for election time.
democrats are showing a lot guilt and shame for the pain they caused because of slavery.
Wow ! afraid of a statue?? that’s pretty darn sad. Go ahead and try to rewrite history: won’t change anything. morons….
