For myself (and many others im sure), it is solely about the principle of it all. If this shite is allowed to happen, it opens up the floodgates to "what's next". The fact the city chose to go through with this only gives merit to "the statues are racist" and anyone with half a brain knows that the statues don't have shite to do with shite.


Yep. See my earlier post about Stacy Head wanting the anti-abortion posters taken down off of public street lights.

AMEN

North & South CAROLINA were named after Charles I of England, (Charles = Carolus in Latin)

Charles I was not a good guy so we need to change the name of those two states.

Ditto for Georgia and George II of England.

Maryland, Virginia & West Virginia get theirs' as well for similar origins.

The origin of Washington State & the District of Columbia?
The founding fathers were slave owners. I've heard this for decades, but it was always just bitter shite talking. I'm waiting for and expecting the day that they try to effect some change in the DC landscape.

It's just leftists tearing down our country, inch by inch, as if their mass murderer heroes are saints.

Shouldn't take long to find a contractor from out of state that would be happy to remove the monuments.

It's not the damn statues. It's never been the statues (for me). It's the precedent it sets, and it's a dangerous path to start walking down.

The moment you give ANY ground to these SJW thugs it's like blood in the water to sharks. If you give an inch they'll demand a mile and it will NEVER be enough
That southern chip on your shoulder is more important to you than common decency. You completely understand the opposing view and even can empathize with it enough to agree to remove the statues. The problem is that if you do it now—and you know it's the right thing to do, all of you—it'll look like you gave in and lost to them frickin' Yankees tellin' y'all what to do with y'all's histry. Gotta poke out that chest.

I'm against the destruction of history to pander to the PC target of the moment no matter the locale.

Or maybe it's because I have a functioning brain and see that when these scumsuckers are given in to (See Mizzou) they don't stop. It becomes a feeding frenzy. Being offended by something doesnt mean it needs to go away.

What exactly are the Dems trying to conquer? Are the rest of us some sort of enemy?

Keep this in mind. Never give something to your friend in power that you would not trust in the hands of your foe.

That history itself is at stake is the lie you have to tell yourself in order to present the rest of your therefore nonsensical argument. Such dishonesty is why your opinion here isn't respected.

It's truly funny how highly you think of yourself. So what random code did you write to make your opinion on this more valid than anyone else's?

honest > dishonest.

Your premise that history itself is on the ropes here is pure nonsense, hence my disregarding the rest of your henceforth silly argument.
