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 $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
highly UNEDUCATED, anti Americans
sorry dear,they already have.Our History teachers have been fired for teaching our History.True story,research it.
Just because they remove themonuments doesn’t mean it never happened…But that’s what liberals want everyone to think.
Their faces ,and names should be posted all over the Country.
Of course it won’t.
Too bad some people don’t want to face truth and facts. History is history. Don’t be afraid of it.
they are not Americans as far as I’m considered,just another excuse to hate on white people.
They don’t care,they are full of hate.
Sounds just like something$#%&!@*and regime would do, but then there isn’t much difference in the tyranny found in this Administration and its cronies.
sad
