A poll conducted by The Marist Poll, in collaboration with NPR/PBS NewsHour, says that 62 percent of Americans say statues honoring Confederate leaders should remain as a historical symbol. Here's a breakdown of those who say the statues should stay: 44 percent of Democrats 86 percent of Republicans 61 percent of Independents http://m.nbc12.com/story/36161762/poll-62-...

Charlottesville has not been in the news during the Trump administration like this before neither. Trump has never covered for the Nazi, White Supremacist groups that came from hundreds, if not thousand miles around to come to Charlottesville to spread this kind of hate and to kill American's in this nations neither Steve. Wait a minute Steve, are you supporting these Nazi's and these White Supremacist groups for doing what they did in Charlottesville.

You are a man right! What is with this carefully crafted language you use it, to say nothing mmm?

My language Ron is to say that your language is deceit. Self deceipt first and foremost, to believe that the media is your friend.

I have a choice to make each time I turn on the computer and turn on the T.V., to make sure I can see the words come out of their mouth, to believe what was said, real and then I research it and then I share it. That is what I call NEWS. The News media is something that you can't friendship with in the first place. I even get something from FOX NEWS.

The only thing I can deal with is the news the media shows me and once I see that, then I have a decision to make, just like you.

I notice Ron in your reply to Robert re: Brietbart that you used your standard tactic of did you watch the video. I didn't even need to click on that link to know what your comment would be. On the other hand, when it suits your purpose you are more than willing to go off topic on your own blog. Or maybe I missed that this one is about Russia?

Nice, that is nice Steve, for the likes in you. Are we still talking about the news media, their News reporting techniques and the decisions one has to make, to something else? This is a free flowing exchange of thought, you have proved that. It is good to here about the way you think, what's in your soul and the way you think about the past and the things you don't say. Believe Me, I will bring you back to the topic, don't worry about that.

You are correct Ron, let's talk about monuments. I was disturbed when I saw that Confederate Soldiers Monument come down on its head and get crushed. Confederate soldiers died for their cause and to say that cause was for slavery is incorrect. The Confederate rank and file were not slave owners and they deserve our respect, just as Vietnam veterans do though at the time many called you baby killers, and you may likewise be harshly judged by future generations. So I was glad when I finally saw a story about the penalty those lawless ones in Durham are facing on FELONY charges.

Robert E Lee statue is in the news, it was his ideology in orders that those soldiers died to carry out the ACT of war against United States of America, to fight for what they believed in and that is the institution of slavery. Those poor Confederate soldiers both Black and White was these tools of the richer man, conned into fighting the Civil War, two continue that slavery institution, that way of life in the SOUTH.

Read more about Robert E. Lee, go read a book on the subject, Steve. Let us talk about monument in a park across the street from city hall in Birmingham, Alabama, which was put in in 1905. Way after The Civil War. Now this monument was not taken down but covered up. Let us get back on topic.

I'm surprised you support the dishonoring of the fallen in battle. Don't expect better treatment of your sacrifice, by future generations. The Confederate Soldiers and Sailors monument stands at the entrance of the park at the end of 20th Street North, and it was given to the city by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1905.

No, Steve, don't get me wrong, I have always been on the side of fighting for FREEDOM and not the suppression of it. Why did the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1905 donate such a monument? Steve, Around Civil Rights Movement: 1890-1900 1890: The state of Mississippi adopts poll taxes and literacy tests to discourage black voters. 1895: Booker T. Washington delivers his Atlanta Exposition speech, which accepts segregation of the races. this was just a further reminder of Black suppression in this country. This type of monument has no place, in this place and time. The fight for Freedom still marches on. American Civil War began April 12, 1861 and ended May 9, 1865 the result: Union Victory. Just look at those THUGS that is in support promoting the Confederacy. NEO-NAZI'S Steve, can you tell me what is there position?
