Leftists Purging History or Al Queda in America

[Amarok]

Nobody is purging history by removing statues of Confederate Leaders.  In fact, they're making history by doing it. 

What those statues represent are the ideals of the Confederate States of America--which itself stood for the subjugation of human beings on the basis of the color of their skin.  They were put up to honor the confederacy, not just the men that fought for it.  To keep those statues up is to say that the ideals of the confederacy--of which slavery was a critical and key component--are ideals we still uphold today.

Indeed I love the but" not all of them fought for that argument" Do I need to start listing off evil regime who had soldiers who didn't fight for this reason or that reason . No that argument does not hold water
