In 1915 a mural of Jefferson Davis - President of the Confederacy, Robert E Lee - Confederate General, and Stonewall Jackson - also a Confederate general - was carved into Stone Mountain, Georgia. This is considered the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan. Cross burning rituals were performed there from 1915 thru 1958, when the State of Georgia purchased/took the property. The site has been owned by the State of Georgia ever since. In 1965 it was opened as a state park and is the #1 tourist destination in the state.
Should the State Of Georgia continue to operate a state park that markets a memorial to the president and generals of the Confederacy, which fought a war to preserve slavery and establish a permanent slave nation?

America in some ways feels like it is a place run by the Taliban.
Sure, Putin.
Sure...they do the same things as the Taliban. But THEY are different......America in some ways feels like it is a place run by the Taliban.

No.
It should stand as a monument to the Democrat Party history.
History should not be destroyed, although an adding a plaqu isn't out of the question, either.In 1915 a mural of Jefferson Davis - President of the Confederacy, Robert E Lee - Confederate General, and Stonewall Jackson - also a Confederate general - was carved into Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Yup. For the American Taliban that dont know how to destroy parts of your history you dont like, here is a short video of how your intellectual`brethren handle such problems.America in some ways feels like it is a place run by the Taliban.
They didn't fight to enslave humans. Since you don't have a basic grasp of history, your vote on the issue is null. Slavery was an economic system which the South was moving away from anyway due to the industrial revolution replacing the need for forced labor with automation. The Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery within the Union and also exempted all border states. The Civil war was over who would control the new country, since if the Union lost there would be no Union at all as it couldn't pay for itself. The Civil War was about economic viability so of course, the Union won given its technological advancements.Yes, but not out of anger, rather because we simply no longer value these men and what they stood for. They were traitors to America and fought to enslave human beings. We should resculpt the faces into faces of people that are worth admiring and remembering.
For those that oppose replacing the statues of traitors to the United States with actual heroes, do you think Germany should've kept all of its Hitler statues up? Or was there may be a time they realized that's not who they should continue glorifying until the end of time?
So just to make sure I'm following the retarded logic you two are spewing, any country that has ever removed any kind of statue, mural or carving is basically the Taliban.
Germans removing Hitler statues after the war? Taliban
Cambodia removing statues of Polpot? Taliban
Eastern European countries removing Stalin and Lenin statues from public squares? Taliban
There is no requirement to keep every statue and monument ever made in place until the end of time. All statues will be eventually replaced with new ones, and when it comes to traitors to the US that fought to enslave human beings, sooner is better than later.
Your comparisons to the Taliban are lazy and offensive to veterans that have actually faced the Taliban and seen their horrors first hand.

When do we get to dynamite Rushmore? That collection of racists, white nationalists, slaveholders, LGBTQ bigots and war mongers need to be erased from our view.

These statures are works of art that teach us about the past. These statures commemorate activities of key members of the Democrat party. It was the philosophy of the Democrat party that drove these men to do what they thought was right. We need to get rid of the root of the evil, which is the Democrat party. As long as the head is alive chopping off fingers does not kill the beast.

The fundamental nature of the organization has not changed. In the past, they also used identity politics to target the blacks; separate toilets and restaurants. They have not changed tactics, other than change the color of attack from black to white. They cannot get out of the past, since they consider this their glory days. We need to destroy this abstract statue; name, called the Democrat party until its become the size of the modern Nazi party.
Maybe we need to come up with a new name. The personnel does not have to change, but a clean break from continuity of the horrors of the past, may add new life to the members. New life is better than the old life as blind surrogate to the Nazis.

That was exactly my point.Did any of the founding fathers try to secede from and attack the United States of America? You're really comparing southern traitors to our founding fathers? Why? I also don't expect Mount Rushmore to stay in tact until the end of time. Future generations might decide to replace it.
Yes, only liberals are allowed to compare people to Nazis. Funny how you dont call out liberals who compare people on the right to Nazis and fascists, but someone on the right does it and you are right there to jump on it.I stopped reading a few sentences in when I realized you were going to start comparing Democrats to nazis. Hyperbole doesn't make it likely for us to take you seriously.
I dont 'sympathize with southern traitors' thats just you being dishonest. But then again, you are a liberal. It sort of comes with the territory.I doubt you called the eastern European countries tearing down Stalin and Lenin statues Taliban extremists. You just sympathize with southern traitors and self declared enemies of the US so you reach for hyperbole.
