OPINION:
The toppling of statues is a hallmark of communism, as every new regime attempts to disqualify or erase history.
Reason and logic are not acknowledged by those intent on keeping legitimate government on the defense and society in a constant state of turmoil. Removal of all statues, flags and related artifacts, good or bad, will never satisfy these individuals’ lust to destroy whatever is of value to the past.
Disorder and chaos, as opposed to peace and prosperity, is the aim of socialism/communism, and these Confederate statues are just another means of achieving such a goal.
Public education has failed two generations by ignoring history, civics and the proper role of religion in human affairs, and we are now sitting down to a banquet of the consequences.
