    Yes, during the Civil War, the Democrats were the party of slavery. However, the Democratic party of the 1860s is not the Democratic party of the 2010s, and it's bad history and worse disingenuity to make the connection you're trying to make.

    Except there is a difference that PB is failing to mention and that I'm aligning against white supremist racist nazis AND the violent left wing groups such as Antifa.

    How is it a slippery slope? Either they waged war on the United States or they didn't. Boom, hard and fast, done.
    Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
    America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

    I'm with Back on this one. It isn't erasing history because we'd still have the books. I mean, who's ever heard of banning offensive books? Pffffft

    The second you start playing "slippery slope" with a white nationalist, neo-nazi hate march, you've already fallen right down that slope.

    There's no grey area here. These are horrendous people, and one of them tried to kill dozens of people during that march. You also had neo-nazis who were all standing across from a Jewish Synagogue holding guns and screaming "Sieg Heil" at them over and over again. They came marching with fire and guns chanting "Jews will not replace us", and you're sitting here trying to talk about it as though it's really just the right-wing equivalent of people who showed up to march against hate.

    And you know how you can tell how incredibly wrong you are?

    You're currently making the same arguments as Neveragain- one of PC's card-carrying white supremecists. That alone should be a serious reality check for you.

    So THAT is what these fine, upstanding citizens are doing.... moving these statues to museums!

    I can't wait to go!

    America of the 1860s is not the America of the 2010s. So what's your point? Maybe I am traumatized by the past actions of the Democratic Party. Does that mean I get to topple donkey statues?

    The destruction of property in this way is flat out wrong.

    But then I'm talking to someone who wants equality but then calls the other side asshole.

    I love how the left characterizes neo-Nazi as on the right. Those fools have more in common with the progressive movement...they are part of the progressive movement. Same insane logic, that being a desire for a fundamental transformation of America.

    Can't wait for the progressive movement to start destroying Christian statues.
