They coming for Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington next. Then they will come for Brigham Young and Joseph Smith.

They should start by getting rid of the biggest vestige of Civil War era racism, slavery, and intolerance: the Democrat party.

From Tom Woods podcast:
"Keith Preston, whose writing I always find interesting and challenging, wrote an excellent overview and analysis of what happened in Charlottesville last weekend. He does the impossible here: this is as dispassionate as it gets. Enjoy."

GOP Convention of 1856 in Philadelphia

The new Republican Party was born in 1854 at a meeting in Ripon, Wisconsin. Abolitionists and those opposed to extension of slavery gathered to protest the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which opened territory to slavery that had been forbidden by the old Missouri Compromise of 1820.

The new party was an umbrella that took in members of the rapidly disintegrating Whig Party, abolitionists, Free-Soilers and anti-slavery Democrats.

About 600 delegates attended the convention. More than 100 newspaper reporters were seated at tables in the front of the auditorium.

The delegates got right down to business the first day by adopting a platform. The key plank was firm opposition to the extension of slavery. "It is the duty of Congress to prohibit in the territories those twin relics of barbarism, polygamy and slavery." The polygamy reference was aimed at the Mormon settlement in Utah territory.

Seattle's mayor just just said in the last few days that it should come down along with a confederate monument in a cemetary in Seattle.

[Serragon]

The idea that a monument to a confederate general brings substantial pain to even a single person 150 years later is asinine.

The idea that the monument brings substantial pain to a large portion of the citizenry is even more ludicrous. That the solution to this phantom pain is to remove all remnants of said general from history is beyond belief.

And these people consider themselves progressive, brave, courageous, tolerant, and intelligent.

It really is as if the USA is upside down and nothing means what it is supposed to mean.
