Erasing history for racial and political gain. Hitler was good at that.

If we removed everything that offends people, there would be nothing and no one left.

It's part of history. Removing it does not mean it didn't happen. Grow up people and stop trying to change the past, you can not do it.

True, who is leading this movement? Whoever it is thinks very differently about their ancestors and history. I can’t believe that people of government are allowing this kind of thing to happen. The answer to the problem is not in a statue.

The idea of removing a statue is stupid. The Confederacy is a part of our history, and if we erase a part of it, then we're more likely to repeat it. People get offended too easily and need to suck it up and not be offended by inanimate objects or what they stand for.

how about using the statue as a teaching moment? Trying to erase the visual reminders of our actual past changes nothing. I see this as another example of one group trying to control the narrative to silence people who don't see things the same way.

No its wrong to do so. Because it's part of our history how states evolved. If your gonna get rid of the statues then you need to rewrite the history books . Teachers teach it in schools are they gonna start not teaching bout slavery? If you remove the statues then you might as well remove all .

Rusty, I want to help you, truly I do. But only you can deal with your parental trauma. Trauma is not mental health.

Just because you fail to comprehend something does not mean it does not exist. Maybe educate yourself some?

Most of the people that need help don't go to church.

Especially, if you attack a police officer.

if they attack any U.S. interests in the region, yes. Send the flock of B-2's back again....several times if necessary.

We should assist Israel as much as possible (supplies, intelligence, etc), but we should not be in the business of killing of Iranians. That is not who We are.

The war is over, we won, thanks to Trump's wise decisions, and bargaining skills.
