You don’t need a statue to know your history

That's a rather childish argument, but I can see why it's the only one that you're capable of making.
And now, no other statue is off limits.
Good bye Lincoln, M.L King... any statue that hurts someone's feelings is now fair game.
I expressed no want for these statues to be removed. I'm merely stating a fact that has been set in precedent, with the removal of Lee's own statue.
Just so long as someone, no matter who, no matter when. Finds these statues objectionable. They will have the ability to get them removed in some measure.
By folding to these demands. The governor has given anyone who wishes, the power to either request through their weight of voices, or declare through show of force. That any statue can and will be removed.
We should destroy statues that commemorate people who fought to keep.slavery going. Duh
Racist hatred and bitterness is damaging this nation more than people realize, and the lying stupid narratives so popular among democrat propagandists are keeping ignorant Americans stirred up over a war they were not in and issues they had no control over. The war is over. The slaves have been freed. Leave it in the past and move on.
General Longstreet was a West Point graduate and hero of the Mexican-American war. He served under Zachary Taylor. After the Civil War he was appointed by President Grant to serve as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Later he served under two US presidents as U.S. commissioner of Railroads. There is a statue of him on the Gettysburg memorial battlefield. There is a museum in his honor in Gainesville, GA. Nobody for 100 years had claimed he was a traitor, but that was before Obama and the changes broughjt about in the democrat party.
Now every republican is a devil and every court decision leftists democrats do not like is rejected as corrupt. If Americans do not like their plans, their values, their goals, and their opinions then they erupt in violence and try to burn then place to the ground.
Should we sweep nthrough the Gettysburg memorial battleground and topple every statue of a souther general? How would that look to kids in the future? It would look like the leftists purged American historyu of anything which created problems for their lying leftist narratives about white people being bad and blacks being innocent and abused byu cops.
Black people care. They should not have to look up to a monument to people that fought to keep them in chains every time they go to the park
How is a statue of general lee remembering the war dead?
Try hard. I think you can get it.
Mommy, that man keeps telling me I am supposed to hate the statue of a guy on a horse near the fountain. Why?
Don't pay attention to him, honey, he still has not gotten over his burning hatred of whites over the long dead issue of slavery. Just stay away from him. The statue cannot hurt you but I cannot be sure about the angry black man.
They are hurting people. A black parent has to explain to their kid why there is a statue of a man that wanted her to be a slave.
That is disgusting
Mommy, that bust of MLK in the school hall gives me the creeps.
Sweetheart, you need to get over that. Statues don't hurt anyone. Grow up.
My god. You just said people who fought for slavery were fallen heroes. This is exactly why the monuments must come down. They were traitors to America that fought for slavery.
They are only your hero if you are a racist
My hat is off to the Japanese Prime Minister for demonstrating the best of love and respect for others, including former mortal enemies, by laying a wreath at arlington Cemetary ion honor pof the fallen American soldiers. Would to God all Americans were that honorable and civilized. Still fighting 150 years later to dishonor soldiers of the Civil War is stupid, wrong, uncivilized and dishonorable.
WASHINGTON (April 27, 2015) -- His Excellency Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery to honor America's fallen.
Abe was escorted during the Armed Forces Full Honor Wreath Laying Ceremony by Maj. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan, Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region and U.S. Army Military District of Washington commanding general.

Any american who renounces his citizenship and joins the army of a foreign nation that attacks America is a traitor.
My god it is the very definition of the word traitor
I neverr heard Obama call Bergdahl or Bradley Manning a traitor.
The war is over. The racists lost. We need no statues of the racist losers
Wipe out half the exhibits and memporials on all civil war battlegrounds and burn museums honoring the heroes to the ground because leftist weenies cannot get over their burning hatred for white men for supporting slavery two hundred years ago? Christians can forgive, especiaqlly after 150 years and for things that never happened to them in the first place, but leftists struggle with the conncept of forgiveness.
He is a traitor to America who just have been hung from rope
I thought that was obvious
So what is you issue with taking down the statue
U.S. Government: We will not allow hateful violence against former Southern soldiers now that the war is ended because our goal now is to live in harmony as one united nation under God.
Disgruntled blacks: Screw that. We will never forgive whites for what they did, not in a million years, and they can go to hell if they think we will ever make peace with those white SOBs.
Mommy why is there a statue of a traitor to America in the park?
Its racism honey
Mommy, is racism always white hatred for blacks or can it also be black hatred for whites?
It can be both, honey. Racists usually hate poeople of a different color than themselves and think and do evil to them because they think people of a different skin color than their own are evil.
