To have a muslim lecture us about the evils of slavery, injustice and violence is as delusional as it is hypocritical.
Clean the shithole of your religion and the slave holding, religion of rape and torture before you damn anyone else.

But I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

You and Gerhardt seem to be bound together in some alternate reality where your fantasies are supposed to be respected and accepted.

That sounds a bit Homo-Erotic.   

Our oldest is a non-thinking progressive.

Whatever she reads on progressive web sites is what she thinks and says. When we talk she is never able to give any detail about what it is she is angry about, only that Trump is a racist and the KKK live in the White House.

After Saturday she was apoplectic but unable to process the photographic evidence of progressive hate groups behaving exactly like the Unite the Right alt-right protestors. She kept circling back to Trump being a racist because she can't imagine independent thought as a way to decide what she thinks.

I blame the educational system and the monolithic thought control imposed by the democrats and their slaves in the media.

Of course the pussies in congress and on the courts make everything much worse.

That must drive you nuts.  I agree, our Education system is to blame.  Since the 1960's, but ferociously in the 1970's, our schools have become liberal/progressive indoctrination centers.  You basically have to try to de-program them when they get home from schools, but that is very difficult as for some reason they all think their teachers are smarter than you even though many, if not most of us have multiple "real" degrees, and experience.  Also, we have jobs, and responsibility, and get little, precious time to try to un-brainwash them. 

I do not support people who uphold centuries old symbols of hate, bigotry and oppression and call it "heritage". It's at that point that you want to bring the past into the present and it becomes intolerable.

Destroying reminders of our history in the form of symbols, flags, and statues is short sighted, and stupid.  Whether it is good, or bad these reminders should remain so we remember, and do not make the same mistakes of the past. 

Is that so difficult for Leftists/Democrats to understand?  If so why?  If you don't like a statue, DON'T LOOK AT IT, but don't take my rights away by destroying it. 

Why won't the LEFT acknowledge that Trump denounced the KKK, and neo Nazis?  He was very adamant, yet the LEFT, and their Media stooges lie, and say he didn't.  Why does the LEFT have to LIE if their arguments are sound?

The police were ordered not to interfere.  The goal was to allow chaos and it turns out, even a human sacrifice, to attempt to make Trump look bad.   Terry McAuliffe and the Mayor should be the ones taking heat for this, not Trump.

^^^^^This.  It was a total set up.  If there were still a thing as investigative reporting, it would be all over the "news".  Since they only investigate Republicans, it will never happen. 

These statues have been up over a hundred years in many cases.  Why now do they have to be torn down?  Why are they so threatening to the left, and the media?  Did Lee, or maybe Stonewall Jackson get down off their horses, and start looting like the BLM in Baltimore?

Maybe if the statues offend you, don't look at it when you drive, or walk by?   

Arm your aircraft people.  I have.
