Bread and circuses are often enough to distract the masses from the more serious shortcomings of government. And so it is that the pandering to Black Lives Matter and politically correct college student demonstrators serve to help them forget that they are poorly educated, poorly served and just plain poor.
In the city of New Orleans, with so many other more important issues, the city council has voted to remove statues of Confederate civil war heroes in order to placate loud mouthed whiners who are “offended” by the statues, rather than deal with the real problems the city faces.
The monuments are of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, P.G.T. Beauregard, and the Battle of Liberty Place. They mark historical figures and events that cannot be erased. The city council voted 6 – 1 for their removal, and declared them public nuisances.
It is estimated that removal will cost $170,000, and all of the arguments made by groups hoping to keep the monuments in place were judged by the city council to be “frivolous,” “entirely without merit,” or “made no sense.” One wonders about other moments in history that various segments of society will find offensive and move to have them erased.
Who is paying for monument removal, page 2:
Isis in control. Destroy our past and all of our history. You must be endoctrnated into the new history as they the elite want it told..
History is History and taking down a monument is not going to change it but would love to have the monuments and have them placed on my property. This is the mos stupid move I have heard of but if those are taken down they should all be taken down.’
Some more of that fundamental change promised by that traitorous racist on the hill.
Once this$#%&!@*is gone, all of these should be replaced.
Man I thought Chicago was fucked up. You Rebs are destroying your history. Someone down there needs to get slapped.
SOMEBODY SHOOT THE DAMN BASTARD

Who are the six idiots on the city council that voted for their removal? Do they think they can pretend that the Civil War never happened? Where did these nuts come from?
