    I realize that you don't get out of your little alternative reality too often, but everyone from the President of Mexico the the Prime Minister of Britain has condemned him for it.

    That's called politics and if you don't jump on the vicious left's bandwagon, all hell breaks loose.

    Do you believe the world is flat?

    And chiraq is at 403 Black on black shootings and 26 Murders so far this month! It doesn't even make sense to worry about Nazis or the KKK, it seems the idiots are voluntarily doing their work for them!

    Karl Marx said that to have a successful revolution or complete transfer of power all vestiges of the past and present must be destroyed.

    Basically the left is not concerned with the Chicago murders, mostly black, but more concerned with shutting down free speech because someone has a different opinion.

    Because you are being silly. Every premise is wrong in that OP. Every last one. So when you try to connect them into a some sort of premonition of the future, you sound silly. You have to go back to the drawing board and look at the various groups that make up the coalition that no longer wants those statues to suggest these are still honored historical figures in 2017. Its not just progressives. There aren't enough progressives in these southern states to put pressure on, unless you define everyone to the left of Pat Buchanan as a progressive. There must be others that are uncomfortable or worry that this is bad for business besides the left. These are parts of the country where Obama did NOT win.

    Sure, you're scared to death of small fringe group and blind to a much greater threat that has committed 403 shooting this year and already 26 murders in the month of August in CHICAGO alone, and you don't say a word about it LMFAO.

    Bad for business because the vicious left targets businesses that do not toe the party line.

    That would be "scary" if "all vestiges of the past" were being destroyed. They aren't. what's being removed are "vestiges" of the ultra racist Jim Crow era that existed between 1910 and 1970

    No, he said the rules of Congress, especially the Senate, are archaic.

    So because there is gang violence in Chicago, we should accept racist Klan rhetoric?

    Huh?

    Progressives do not have the majority of voters or consumers in Alabama, south Carolina, and Mississippi. We can't make them 'toe a line' that we did not paint. You guys own the paint. Look a little more broadly here.

    Like the Taliban is to Islam, it does not take a majority to organize a hate movement against ones opponents.

    Khmer Rouge too. Genocide is also a key component. ANTIFA is testing Americas resolve. ANTIFAs manifesto can't be allowed to overshadow the constitution.

    Are you seriously comparing the social and political structure of the Southern United States, to that of the Taliban and Islam in Afghanistan? You must be using the Pat Buchanon rule I mentioned above, as your definition of a progressive. Use your imagination. Who else might not like those statues besides the 65 self described 'progressives' in Simpson County Mississippi, that might just blossom the ranks around there into a movement to get a statue out of a county park? try a little harder.

    Even my Dem friends are shaking their heads over their party's push to obliterate history. Gotta wonder why the party of the left is on such a self destructive mission. Dont know the answer, but it sure is gonna make for an interesting mid term election.

    You seem to.

    When was the last time you got out anywhere other than Wal Mart or Cracker Barrel?

    I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the "vicious left", when it comes to world opinion.

    You seem to believe that the US is a planet, and the rest of the world is someplace else.
