Breaking on Drudge. The very military bases that play a key role in spreading our freedom/democracy/racial=equality values to places like Iraq, Palestine, Libya, Syria etc are now suddenly symbols of racial>supremacy if this SPLC narrative is to be believed?

SPLC Says Army Bases Are Confederate Monuments That Need To Come Down

The Southern Poverty Law Center has declared three of America’s largest Army bases Confederate monuments “with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed” if activists don’t “take down” the Army bases.
The SPLC included Fort Hood in Texas, Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Benning in Georgia on a list (https://www.splcenter.org/news/2017/08/15/send-letter-its-time-take-down-confederate-monuments) of 1,500 “Confederate monuments” that the SPLC claims could inspire more violence like what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. All three bases are named after Confederate military leaders.
The list makes no mention of renaming namesakes of Confederate monuments; taking the monuments down is presented as the only option. The recent leftist campaign against Confederate namesakes and monuments has included a willingness among some far-left actors (http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/16/woman-who-destroyed-durham-confederate-statue-is-a-pro-north-korea-marxist/) to destroy government property to accomplish their goals.

“More than 1,500 Confederate monuments stand in communities like Charlottesville with the potential to unleash more turmoil and bloodshed,” the SPLC website states. “It’s time to take them down.”

If those were the only 'Confederate memorials' they had said had the potential to unleash turmoil and bloodshed, they'd have actually said something credible for a change.
