Taking down a statue isn’t erasing history. History is written in books. But I’m guessing you don’t know how to read.

This site has always had its fair share of dumb rednecks, but damn it is just overrun now.

And what the hell do you think is next for the cancel culture mob? If you're offended by a statue, it's only a matter of time before books and curriculum are removed.

you obviously haven't seen the book burning the left is doing. It is really hilarious that the side that is calling the other side Nazis are taking a page right out of Hitlers playbook with the deconstruction of the nation's history.

How does removing the statue of a traitor to our country erase history? Why would anyone who claims to be a Patriot be unhappy with that?


They've moved on from Confederates and are going after erasing other things. Get with the times and pull your blinders off.

This is silly. Statues aren’t history. They are memorializations of someone, or something, that we find admirable. When a societies values change, and that which the statue commemorates is no longer admired, it should be taken down. This in no way erases history. That is buffoonish.

They don’t like the history any of us celebrate.

Open your eyes. They’re taking down Theodore Roosevelt’s statue for fricks sake.

This has stopped being about the confederate shite awhile ago.

Can I be of the opinion that Teddy Roosevelt shouldn’t be torn down, but honoring the confederate flag and its leaders is stupid?

You can. The mob doesn’t care. It’s all coming down and if you support the confederate imagery coming down , you’re tacitly supporting everything coming down.

You defend a front line to keep the enemy from getting to the cities.

Don't be sarcastic. It's just anger posing as humor.

Say what you mean instead.

He's right.

Because you've erased the principle that history should be preserved, good or bad, you open up whatever you like about history, Teddy Roosevelt for example, to destruction.

The Marxists are coming for it all anyway.

Who even said I was a liberal? Just because I think a bunch of rednecks jerkin it to the confederate flag is embarrassing?

I don't give a rats arse about the confederate flag, not one bit.

I find it quite annoying that a segment of society whines incessantly about everything that’s “offensive” and that it is everywhere- internet, tv, sports radio, sports tv shows.

I find it scary as hell that every business, network, school, etc. gives in immediately when any of these groups complain, no matter how insignificant. That’s what most people are pissed about.
