This should kick off the Third Revolution if attempted.

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- It's one of Georgia's most famous landmarks and the largest carving of its type in the world.

But now an Atlanta man wants the Confederate Memorial relief on Stone Mountain removed.
"It's almost like a black eye or an embarrassing smudge on our culture," McCartney Forde told 11Alive News on Monday.

That's how Forde feels about the 2 football field-wide carving of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson that towers 400 feet above the mountain's base.

  1. 94% no to 6% yes....Sounds like no to me. I mean it's close, but the no's do have a slight edge.

  2. Cripes, the leftards sound more and more like the fundamentalist taliban types every day (remember the 1000 year old Bhudda statues that th Taliban blew up?), all the while they shove "Tolerence and Diversity" up our exhaust ports... They just can't resist poking a stick at the hornets nest.

  3. "My efforts aren't to just destroy something, 'cause I understand that does mean something to some people," he said.

    "But there should be some room for compromise and there should be something up there that we all could be proud of," he added.

    So, compromise means destroying the monument and replacing it what, MLK? Obama?

      “Compromise, hell! That’s what has happened to us all down the line — and that’s the very cause of our woes. If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?”

  4. This is typical revisionist agenda. In order to fundamentally change America history must be changed. They are teaching students that the Boston Tea Party was committed by terrorists. The left views this as their best chance ever to flip America into a Marxist paradise. We have Obama pushing every liberal idea while simultaneously destroying capitalism and the American economy. I fear elections will no longer stop the left. Marxists have never let an election remove them from power. The good new is the good Marxists are disarmed because they do not believe in guns. Currently I believe most of the enlisted ranks of the military will not support a leftist overthrow. After viewing the police in Boston, I do not the same confidence in local police to ignore illegal orders.

      Good post and as I mentioned before, the only good thing that came out of Boston is the realization that they are far from competent.
