More Statues Toppled, Even U.S. Grant and Francis Scott Key

JUNE 20, 2020

**  Push to purge Confederate names gets minima; traction around Fort Hood, but military is paying attention.

**  How the Army might rename Confederate installations.

**  Statue of Confederate general toppled in DC.

**  NC governor orders removal of Confederate statues in Raleigh.

**  The Latest:  Trump tries to tie statue destruction to Dems.  (Well, if the shoe fits.)

**  Protesters tear down statues of Union general Ulysses S. Grant, National Anthem lyricist Francis Scott Key.  (Duh!!!   San Francisco.)

**  Confederate monuments continue to come down in racial justice protests.  (Not a "protest."  More of rioters committing hate crimes.)

**  Commentary:  How this new monument could move Charleston  forward.  (South Carolina.  The Confederate monument to the Defenders of Fort Sumter has been "vandalized" again.  The author wants monuments to Blacks put up at White Point Garden.)

**  Juneteenth march in Fort Myers draws crowd to commemorate the end of slavery.  (Florida.  And yet, all the parades for the 4th of July were canceled.)

What Is Happening to Statues Across U.S. Is Reminiscent of of 1930s Nazi Germany: Book Burning and Kristallnacht

Has the United States slipped into a Neo-Nazi era led by BLM and Antifa?

Take a look at videos of  the Nazi  Kristallnacht and Nazi Book Burning on YouTube and the similarities are striking between the Nazis and the aforementioned groups.

Sadly, it is not just Confederate statues now, but all sorts of statues.  Where will it end?  How many presidents will have to be removed from Mt. Rushmore?  When will Washington, D.C. be renamed Douglass, D.C., or Tubman, D,C,?  When will the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial be either taken down or be renamed?  When will the National Anthem be changed to "I'm Black, I'm Proud?"  When will four of the five first president have to be written out of history books?

And, it goes on and on.

Maybe it is time for the government to put a stop to this anarchy and the Tyranny of the Blacks.  Let the police put a stop to the lawbreaking, which, by the way, is not vandalism but hate crimes.

So, Who's a Nazi.  So, Who's a Neo-Nazi.  --Old Secesh

Eight Days to Virginia's Confederate Statue Orgy-- Part 1: Times That Try Your Soul

Just eight days until the Confederate Memorial Protection Act is no more and I am sure Virginia is preparing to have one of the biggest parties in state history next Wednesday.

Those statues will be gone and certain people and their minions will be partying hardy.

The Confederate statue situation is really opening the proverbial can of worms.  It might even come back to bite the ones pushing it.  Remember, all it takes is one black person to be offended before things get done.  Hopefully that is a two-way street.

Here is an article from the June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across the US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins, AP.

"Protesters tore down more statues across the United States, expanding the razing in a San Francisco park to the writer of America's National Anthem and to the general who won the country's Civil War which ended widespread slavery.  Really, writer of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?  Must be something ol' Kappynapper had something to do with.   Really, U.S. Grant who beat Confederate General R.E. Lee and ended the war in which slaves received their freedom?  Really?

"In Seattle, violence erupted before dawn Saturday in a protest zone largely abandoned by police, where one person was fatally shot and another critically wounded.

"On the East Coast, more statues honoring Confederates who tried to break away from the United States more than 150 years ago were toppled."

And, what about the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in Oregon?
