Why? Because of his decision in the Dred Scott case.

Unreal.

Taney had no connection to the Confederacy, just so we're clear.

It's about time for some states, cities, and towns to start erecting new monuments just to piss off the PC crowd. This is getting ridiculous.

I don't know if this is all a grand plan by the Leftist/Progs to bring down society as we've known it, at this point it does not matter, it's what's happening.

Need some politicians to be put on the record as to whether they support these statues being removed. Only makes for more dem losses in future elections.

You OK with burning books you never read?

You OK with ISIS killing people you never knew existed?

You OK with being a dumb arse who thinks he made a good point?

But I thought we were just dealing with statues of traitors?

Any statue/memorial of a white man who had a smidge of an issue involving race will be targeted.

Don't worry, Alabama's on it.

This will stop at the confederate statues. Displaced Buckeye assured me of this.

This argument is such a fallacy.

The statues are already there. Action is being taken to remove them. The outrage was initiated by the SJW Progressives. Many of whom have never seen or noticed these statues.

Being upset about that action is completely different.

It's like the new tendency of Progressives to call everyone a snowflake who doesn't agree with them.

The intolerance is born from the Progressive SJW's, not the people disagreeing with them. Critics are simply calling them out on their idiocy.

I don't know why it's so hard for Progs to understand this very important distinction.
