Russia is and was famous for rewriting and rearranging history, with leaders changing the names of cities such as swapping Leningrad for St. Petersburg, and removing former government leaders who lost favor from historical photos. History is always a bit messy as trends change and what was once acceptable becomes unacceptable over time. It is arrogant and idiotic, however, to judge past events by current standards, because history is all about context. Inevitably, those seeking to condemn past actions or standards have an agenda, and they want to overlay guilt by association on those who would suggest that history simply is and should be respected and left to stand on its own, within its own contextual framework.
This is clearly being shown in the nonsensical demand by race baiters and liberal firebrands that the confederate flag be excised from history and removed from public exhibit in any shape or form. The narrow minded and bigoted protesters would have us believe that the stars and bars represent only one thing, and that is the history of slavery. That is ignorant beyond belief, and it shows how misguided the protesters are when considering southern history and culture. Unfortunately, Democrat politicians are determined to pander to this overblown expression of concern, and so the rich history of the south is denigrated and dismissed as the flag is hidden away in closets and drawers, out of sight from the public eye.

ANOTHER Sad Day in America, Thanks to our POS President!!
Wish we could take all liberals and send them to another country they are ruining this great country
What happened to State’s Rights? This is our history, yes all of ours that is being removed from our daily lives and our families’ future.
Sounds like we can withdraw from the union since they withdrew our flag!
Thanks Buckwheat
That’s one way to ruin a country, forget about it’s history, and what it went through to become what we have now. With out history we have no further.
Never work, History is already written. all they are doing is screwing up the future
It’s what the Communist socialist do.
Quit taking our taxes!
Once again, a seed of division is planted and tended to and it grows bigger and bigger everyday it is tended. White vs black. North vs south. Republicans vs democrats. Us vs them. Christian vs Muslims/atheists. It goes on and on…
