Read "1984". To some it is a story - to liberals it is a game plan......
The more I listen to and read about Buttigieg the worse he looks for our country.

This post doesn't state any form of an argument or debate of any kind, and you're trolling once again. It doesn't state the events or their purpose for Buttigieg to say what he did.

There has to be more to it than that, otherwise, Buttigieg's comment makes no sense. But that makes sense for the misinformation we're being given, more spoon in mouth propaganda.

(CNN)Virginia is joining the list of state Democratic organizations changing the name of an important annual fundraiser known as the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, named after two presidents who owned slaves.
The new name will be the Blue Commonwealth Gala, Democratic Party of Virginia Chairwoman Susan Swecker announced Saturday at the party's central committee meeting in Richmond. The old name paid tribute to Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who are credited as two of the founders of the Democratic Party.
Swecker told the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the name change will indicate the dinner is "more inclusive and reflective of a fair commonwealth."
Several states have changed the name of their dinners, including Utah in 2007, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Some did so in 2015, a year that saw a mass killing at an African-American church in South Carolina and fights over the Confederate battle flag.
Presidents Jefferson and Jackson both owned plantations and slaves.
Jackson also signed the Indian Removal Act, which allowed the federal government to force several large tribes from their lands and move them West. In the most famous removal, thousands of Cherokees reportedly died along what became known as the "Trail of Tears."
Jefferson's ties to his home state were a "challenge" for the state party, Swecker said.
The party tweeted that the announcement was met with a "rousing ovation."

Leave our statutes, history, and memorials alone.

It is our history, get over it.

I am with you on that I was only trying to clear up what the Jefferson Jackson dinners were all about for Canuckus Deploracus as he was asking about it is all.
Right out of the ISIS playbook. Where's all of this tolerance the Left is always preaching, remember to keep our history alive or we're doomed to repeat the sins of the past.
Why do the dems want to change history is because that's what all communists want. Without history the kids coming along have nothing to refer to as history of the U.S. That's why the statues are coming down, no flags here or there Etc. That is communism, plain and simple, that type of democrat is a communist.
Let's face it, what other group wants to kill babies like the New York croud does. After all, the people put them in so they must agree with them and their policies. Time after time they vote in the commies so
I have to believe they are the same.
Over all, democrats are bad people.
.....Only partially responding to half of what this post and Boodygeigs` remarks of one years conscription into government service.(I don't necessarily agree with it)why is that considered extreme, remember the draft.
