Lexington Kentucky mayor Jim Gray stated that confederate statues at city hall will be removed...
The statues of John Hunt Morgan and John C Breckinridge will come down.. Good job by the folks of Lexington in voting to have said statues removed.

Twenty first century Americans honor winners not losers.. " Tear down all statues and monuments honoring losers of the civil war" My .02

We condemn ISIS for destroying history in the Middle East.

A few small minded holier-than-thous think that such behavior in the United States is perfectly acceptable....as long as it is someone else's culture being destroyed, someone else's grandfathers being erased from history or recast as one-dimensional villains.

I think it is liberals who like to use the term "Blowback" to justify terrorism on the part of Middle Eastern residents. What a shame they don't consider on what kind of "blowback" may result from constant, needless attacks on all things Southern, rural, or Christian.

We need not destroy history.. Simply remove the statues of losing generals and replace said statues with great man of that era

Namely the great nineteenth-century abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison.

Also another idea, remove all statues from government buildings, create museums to house said statues and monuments, if the general public wishes to view said items they can pay for the privilege with their hard earned money..

Germany has museums depicting the vile times in their country, we can to the same. This way folks who want to see a piece of history can do so, and those that feel not to view said history need not..

Charles, glad to see your not hiding under the covers..
