Each year many thousands of college students graduate, the top 20% go on to be doctors, scientist, lawyers, the next group will be engineers, the bottom 10% become teachers! So, now you see why we are in the crapper.

I lived in the deep south for years. People see what they need to see. The statue is seen by few as a symbol of a losing war, although the war is the back story. The statue is symbol of southern unity. The left needs to see it as other than a mark of unification.

They would like nothing more than to remove all reminders of a time when our nation was terribly fractured but found the path to come back together. That coming together as one nation under God undermines their every effort to divide and conquer.

okie don

As I understand the Civil War or War between the States was ' Taxation without Representation'.
The North was putting Tarrifs and taxing the southerners and not paying a fair price for their Agricultural products.
The south began selling to England and the Indusrrial North got pissed and even blockaided the southern ports... Slavery was not the prime issue.

Moving on to the Saul Alinsky Plan to convert a Democracy into a Marxist/Socialist/Communist society,
one of the eight (8) steps to accompolish this is to " Divide the people".eg black vs whie; rich vs poor.
We've all heard the saying: " United we stand, Divided we Fall". This is what they are doing to our country.
Hatred, bitterness and civil commotion is essential and partof the overall " Master Plan". IMHO anyway (:

Which is why we have statues and monuments.

So that people's curiosity will be stimulated enough so that occasionally they will stop to find out about who or what the statue or monument is about.

That can't happen if there is nothing there.

You could probably get liberals to stand and read a plaque that states; "This site used to have a statue on it. It is now gone.You are safe."

Well..........................

I think I'd change that plaque to read:

"This site used to have a statue on it.
It is gone now.
You can remain ignorant.
Does that make you feel safer?"

Thanks for asking. No damage at all. Spent much of the hurricaine in Georgia with relation. The most dangerous thing I encountered was the traffic back. Still some in my neighborhood with out power. The church I belong to took in 1500 people, 400 dogs, 40 cats and one pig. People were worried more about flooding, but never really amounted to much.

That's WONDERFUL!!!

WOW!! I'll bet THAT was a trip at your Church!!! How did they get that many dogs to sleep all night without barking? And to NOT chase cats!!! LOL It must have been kind of like Noah's Ark in there?

SO glad you are safe!!!
