I assure you, I am not a fool. Does it not concern you that government takes action under the cover of darkness. Does it not concern you that a statue that is on the National Historic Register has been removed, because the Mayor of New Orleans ordered it to be removed?These statues were not an issue. I would venture to say that at least 80 percent of the people in the City of New Orleans couldn't even tell you what the monuments were about. Why doesn't the mayor do something about the crime, drugs, streets, etc. in the city. The answer is simple he doesn't care. He is only trying to score political points to get elected to some office; he is finished politically after this fiasco.

And that is why it's no big deal that they are coming down

The duly elected City Council of NO voted 5-1 to take down those four monuments. Lee, Davis, and Beauregard were traitors who fought against the United States of America as they each broke the oath to the USA they took at West Point. Their statues glorify these men and that should not happen. They should be remembered in museums and in history books and classes as they played a role in US history. But the public glorification of these guys is simply not appropriate.
