I thought I saw it all with the change to the "General Lee." Now it seems that confederate monuments throughout the South are under attack. The latest is a petition to remove the carving of the three Confederate generals from Stone Mountain. Will it ever end? Surely this single tragic event in Charleston hasn't fueled this witch hunt. I wonder what made it grow to this point, where images and monuments long left alone are suddenly under attack. I was born in Detroit but live in the South. You can't erase history. People of all colors and nationalities visit Stone Mountain by the millions. Why this and why now?

What has fueled this "Witch Hunt"? Unbridled and unchallenged PC media. they are preaching hatred and calling the USA a white supremest country and no one is telling them they are wrong. Other than maybe FOX but we all know they don't count. Yes they have actually said this on national news, and it's being repeated all over the internet and anyone who disagrees is a racist. I cannot remember the country this torn apart on a day to day basis since the week DR King was murdered. And even that was more a handful of hatred than a movement like I see today. I'm sorry, yes there is racism in the USA, as there is in all societies, but it is not as rampant as they (The left wing newscasters) are trying to make it.

We can take the Confederate Flag out of all of our states' flags, from the General Lee, and Walmart. But, we cannot erase history. We don't necessarily have to like it (our history, that is). But, it's important to acknowledge it. Stone Mountain does this: It's a beautiful piece of masonry, artisanship, and ... yes ... heritage. Whether you're a Rebel or a Yankee, the men depicted were Americans. What's next? the Honorable Mr. Washington at Mt. Rushmore?!

Mantra of the left, "never let a good crisis go to waste". It is disgusting that people are trying to use a tragedy to advance pent up political issues/dislikes etc. but there it is. Some political operatives will take any event and try to advance their cause whatever it may be.
