KKK Leads Torch-Bearing Protesters Against Removal of Robert E Lee Statue

[Bo-4]

Why misuse the term fascism? It makes you look stupid.

We don't need to go through this again Pete ;-)

Again - over half the definitions of the word include references to "extreme right wing/ nationalism" ...

But here's a fair and balanced read:

The problems this country is facing, goes far beyond how some statues are precieved, I doubt removing them is going to miraculously start a 'healing' process......but, I'll keep my eyes open for all the, 'kumbaya' groups that will suddenly form.

R = zero government

L = total government

We know where you and the fascists lean. L.

Also, fascism was a radical movement. To compare it to conservatives is dishonest.

It's part of the whole, along with other issues. But the fact that people try to downplay things that they don't agree with or attempt to mock people that have a different opinion, does more to show why the "healing" process keeps getting stalled.

That’s the dichotomy that plagues the country as a whole. People will defend that sort of behavior as it being his right, and it is, but then move to another thread and whine about programs established to counter such behavior.

Remember - this MUST be blamed on the "liberal elites".

I guess Nikki Haley became one of those when she removed the Confederate Flag from Statehouse.

We have never been a more divided society in history. Bammy ensured that isn't changing anytime soon.

Hooray for multiculturalism...

It's all very superficial. It gives liberals a chance to circle jerk and sing kumbaya while they denigrate anyone who values history and sees it differently.

The people spoke when they elected the city council that decided to remove this statue of a loser.

Apparently they disagree with the decision.

Kinda like the liberals in the country disagreeing with the last election.
