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 $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
What a sad day in America when our history is destroyed. Those who refuse to acknowledge History are bound to repeat it.
WAKE THE$#%&!@*UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you might remove but you cant remove out of my heart damn you to hell
Damn niggers.
I can’t believe the city is allowing this. An outrage and insult to the men who lost their lives and fought in the Civil war. Like it or not, you can not change history.
shame on ya’ll for knuckeling under to them
and black history$#%&!@*and naacp
KARMA is going to hit them hard.
This is just like the purges of the socialist/communist movements. Rewriting history to serve the state agenda. Sickening.
Fucking Obama’s a piece of s**t
