Another racist Confederate statue has been vandalized in New Orleans: the statue of Joan of Arc! (I think she commanded an Alabama regiment at Little Round Top and owned a plantation full of slaves. Or something.) (Joan of Arc lived in France in the 1400s.) :lol:

LOL OMG!!

SEE, this is what I MEAN..... I said something, somewhere (all of these threads are starting to run, together, so I can't remember where I said, what), that I would bet, almost anything, that most people don't even know who these people are----or didn't, before all this uproar..... NOW, it seems, they're not even TRYING to find-out who these people, are!! Couldn't they tell it was a GIRL? Hello?

Perhaps you need to toughen up and accept that these statues are going down. Why do you want these statues anyway? Are you emotionally attached to them? Why?

Wouldn't bother me a small fraction as much as the Trump presidency is bothering you. Every one of your butthurt little anti-Trump/anti-conservative rants is a pleasure to read.

And, why a CANADIAN is having rants about the U.S. president, et al., is beyond ME, anyway!!

Very commendable of Taney....but he could have taken it one step further.

Yes, I get it that he was upholding the law....it would have been nice if he upheld a HIGHER law.

I get that he didn't want to be a "judicial activist," and that he didn't want to breach the boundaries of the judicial branch. And that he was "man of his times.

Still, it would have been nice.....

An obvious fact which is NEVER mentioned by the Media: for 8 years a Kenyan-American president does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Confederate statues and memorials, even when he has a completely Democrat Congress.

NOTHING ever happened about Confederate statues and memorials under Billy Jeff Clinton, or Jimmy Carter, or Lyndon Johnson, or John Kennedy, or Harry Truman, or Franklin Roosevelt or any post-Civil War Democrat administration!

And now, suddenly, they are unbearable?

...For one thing, I suppose it seemed like a " don't touch " issue - For another thing, it only, really, popped up recently, from 5he people who care about it...I don't think the DNC decided, in an ultra secret deep cover dark funds meaning, in April 2017, to bring up & pursue the issue!
I do think it bubbled up from the people, as it were.

...I guess you believe the " birther " narrative, then? One which holds that people faking Obama's birth in Hawaii managed to get both Honolulu newspapers then to publish a fake birth notice of a Kenyan immigrant?

I'm not saying that you're a troll. I'm saying that you love it when liberals are offended ... and you don't seem to like anything else.

What does that make you? You tell me.
