Nah....it's more than that. Americans tear down historical venues all the time. That's why no city looks like it did when originally built. This is a history you want to keep is what you meant to say. And large segment of the American people find that history offensive.

Since, as pointed out, the slave owners were Democrats, and Republicans were the liberators, I find it curious that the Republicans now want to keep these reprehensible symbols and Democrats want to tear them down and put them is museums...where history belongs.
What's up with that?

What do you mean "WE Know"? You may know, but I assure you, the average Democrat doesn't know because your Marxist propaganda is quite effective in dumbing down the liberal/progressive, making him feel all noble about himself and fraudulently believe himself to be enlightened. And your accusation that I don't know my history is utterly baseless, but then deceitful slander is the specialty of the liberal. --------- Why would we get on the bandwagon of removing those statues ??? Unlike you, we don't try to change culture and history like the left always does to suit themselves to enhance their image and assist in obtaining their goal of the destruction of America by tearing down the moral fabric that is the foundation of America in order to make Marxist revolution seemed desirable and even necessary. For instance, we used to call a homeless person of bum, --- a word that correctly had connotations of degeneracy. But the liberals have succeeded in hiding the moral depravity responsible for that situation by instead changing the word to homeless in order to elicit sympathy for the degenerate responsible for his own situation.
We don't believe America should hide the negative elements of its past. We know it was wrong, but we also know that slavery was inherited from the English who used it to make their colonies more productive while keeping costs down. We also know that slavery has existed in most every country in the world throughout the centuries, and We Were the 1st to Eliminate it, no thanks whatsoever for the Democrats. (in fact 660,000 had died in your efforts to retain it)

I notice you have ignored my answer to your post in another article. I guess you find my response a little embarrassing, which is exactly what the liberal needs is to be lambasted with the truth and embarrassed by it. Here it is again for your benefit and I suggest you read it thoroughly and let it absorb in. Maybe if you would do that, you could start aligning your self with reality just a little bit and start making some responses which I can't totally dismantle and prove as superficial simpleminded nonsense:

My earlier reply to you from another post:
You say I don't know where you get your political information. Well, I don't need to know. Beyond the fact that it is from left-wing sources which are All dishonest and to which I have much more to say regarding that in the body of this post, particularly what I originally wrote to Kevin and which is equally valid for you to read and which is in italics below. As all liberals, you are very naïve to believe what you are told by your own left. Not that WordPerfect but we are Far, FAR, FAR more honest than the left. And we also don't tried to shut the other side down from voicing their opinions and we don't resort to violence and think it's okay. In other words, we are comparatively very decent, honorable and trustworthy.

Did you ever read Saul Alinsky's RULES FOR RADICALS. Its author not only dedicated book to Satan, but he is considered the father of community organizing. That book, not only is the community organizers official playbook, but it has also become the playbook for the Democratic Party. It is all about how to gain power and overthrow America through lies and deception, increasing poverty, destroying the morality of this nation and slandering conservativism and instilling hate for Christian values. One of the rules is to accuse the opposition of being who you are and of doing what you do. Like this Trump_Russia Delusion Thing. When Hillary, Mueller and Obama are the real ones who actually colluded with Russia. (See the last video link here from the Lou Dobbs program). And like ANTIFA calling us the fascist. (LOL). You people are morally bankrupt, interested only in The Acquisition of Power by any means necessary. That means you all are evil and consider evil to be a victim of good. It's time to Get your Head Straight, Repent and come to the side that holds Truth, Honesty & Integrity as their prime values and quit being such a lowlife.

You are wrong and saying that you don't need to see tTo those on top, that is secondary to making money.(They already have more money than hundreds of families could spend a lifetime) he video because you already know the prime objective of the news organizations is making money. They are political and have been taken over by the left and their prime objective is to mold your mind and manipulating your opinions. That is, like our educational system, to turn you into a good little leftists. They don't report the news, they make the news by what they refrain from telling you, what they choose to tell you, and how they slant it as well as regular outright fabrication. One example after another after another after another is given in this most entertaining and enlightening video You DO need to see this video (as well as the 2nd one Egleye provided you from Lou Dobbs where they show further corruption of Hillary that goes way beyond Ben Ghazi and then is real collusion with Russia where she sells her influence and America's favor for her own personal gain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXWOKJtdjRI (7 minutes) & https://youtu.be/yDjGodxc8B Hillary, Muller and Obama's Russian collusion (Lou Dobbs) Why should I even want to bother to respond to you when you refused to look at the supporting evidence (like the videos) to what I am telling you????????????????? Now, see the damn videos and see some information from those who hold Truth, Honesty & Integrity as their prime values.
