Calling them monuments to "The Cult of the Lost Cause" is genius.
I agree. That just sounds awesome. Who doesn't like a good underdog story? And now there's even a patron saint involved.
In reality though, the only people involved in a "cult of lost cause" are those that think removing the statues are going to miraculously end all the poverty and crime in a city rife with ghettos and an ineffective mayor.

Total straw man argument. Who thinks removing monuments to The Cult of the Lost Cause will end poverty? We've just removed Reconstruction- and Segregation-era crypto-white-supremacist propaganda from our streets.
It will have negligible impact on crime, but it might help us get a Super Bowl.
