Is the Anti-Confederacy crowd the equivalent of the American ISIS?

The answer is "Obviously not."

Think about this though: The Anti-Confederacy crowd is calling for the removal of historic artifacts and memorabilia from public places because it is offensive to some people. This started with the Confederate Battle flag (more or less like a Bn Guidon) and has quickly spread to statues, memorials, and even the cleansing of place names associated with Confederate soldiers. In the ISIS camp they are calling for the destruction and cleansing of historic places, artifacts, and memorabilia because it upsets them and their view of how things should be.

How are those things different? Is it because we're civilized and they're savages? Because we're "debating" it and they not? I use the quotation marks there because it really isn't a debate, but a set of demands repeated often and loudly enough to stifle any response other than capitulation.

In both cases you have groups of people who aren't interested in debate - it's their way or no way, their way or you're a racist. Believe me, neither group will stop when they've gotten what they want. Like spoiled children who got the candy after crying loudly enough, the Anti-Confederacy crowd will use the same tactic to gain more cessions.

What say you? Are we headed down the same path of historic cleansing in our country? Eradicating any trace of a history that bothers some people?
