Erasing the Confederacy -How Far Would you Go?

[Kingpoleon]

First one I support federally, second, third, and fifth I'll support at state level. I'm hesitant to erase the fifth one, though, as a reminder.

In other words, I stand with Bill Clinton on this issue.

I mean, even if you believe the removing statues has gone to far or whatever, there's no need to bring up such a self-evidently cretinous argument as "we can't learn from history because you are removing it"! What exactly the public can learn from memorials put up by a revisionist cult nearly a century after the Civil War that they couldn't from books, museums, documentaries, popular films or, err, statues commemorating the anti-slavery movement is beyond me.

From what I understand, at least, it isn't just monuments, but also history books and museums.

... They aren’t re-writing history books or destroying them.

I have a Confederate flag sticker on my car right now.  It's all about loving the old ways of doing things

The “old way” being the suppression of women, African-Americans, and other minority groups?
