    Exclamation Stone Mountain in GA next to go on the purged history heap

    Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

    http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2017/08...tone-mountain/

    Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it “remains a blight on our state and should be removed.”

    “We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union,” Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.

    Removing the faces of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson would take a monster of a sandblaster and require a change in state law. The Georgia code has a clear mandate for the memorial, saying it should be “preserved and protected for all time as a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the citizens of this state who suffered and died in their cause.”
    Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11

    Nuance is lost in the bleating of the anti-racist mob.

    More evidence that this cleansing of history won't be that difficult. Perhaps Debbie Wasserman-Schultz could find some good Taliban contractors to help with the demolition.

    I'm pretty sure that there would be an armed resistance on this one. In fact, I guarantee deaths over it.

    Yep. I know a few of them Georgia boys. I used to be related to them (by marriage). Jefferson Davis is considered part of the Holy Trinity.
