    While we are at it, Sam Houston owned slaves. Should we change the name of Houston to Laketown?

    so it is ok to change a lot of things just because some one is offended?
    do we vote on the names now and put them in place?
    where does the SUPIDITY stop?
    Well, yeah -- we do vote on the names indirectly. Elected representatives and all.

    Why are you so offended by simple name changes?

    All of statues being taken down are Confederates. Now we have the resident dimwit club trying to expand what is being taken down so as to change the narrative.

    This of course is the same narrative being bandied around by alt-right media. Dimwit is as dimwit does.

    When did he secede, Darrin? I was under the impression he was dead quite a long time before the Civil War.
    Jefferson not only owned slaves, he literally ed them.

    It's never been about being traitors. It's about slavery.

    Staunch unionist. Complete opposite of a traitor.

    Sam Houston rebelled against Mexico not the Union. Do try and keep up.

    The issue is not that they were slavers the issue was they rebelled when it came time to end slavery.

    It's gonna take more than a few guys to take this one down.

    If Hillary won it would have been down already. Cinco De Mayo would have been a national holiday. Trannies would have yada yada yada too lazy to finish out this post

    You struggle to speak for yourself. You don't get to define your political opponents. If it was about only slavery then you would see people looking to do what you are claiming.

    Instead the issue is the people that rebelled to preserve slavery. I get that nuance is tough for you but you're being pretty obtuse on this issue and showing a lack of independent thought.

    When was he a traitor?

    It's never been about being traitors. It's about slavery.
    The confederate statues and place names are about sticking it to the blacks.

    cost billions
    maps change of addresses
    updating gps devices

    Billions?

    You're going to have to provide some evidence it would cost billions. And if that's your only complaint, it's a decidedly weak one. Names change and maps and GPS devices are constantly updated regardless.

    The Jefferson Memorial was not erected to show uppity DC blacks that whitey was still in charge, so find another Hannity talking point, Darrin.

    No it's not. They are confederates. The line is the one between confederate and not confederate.

    Confederates are people that rebelled when slavery was coming to an end. The KKK and similar white supremacists erected statues celebrating them in the early twentieth century. Those are the ones being taken down.

    CC and Darrin, give us the positive reasons you want to keep all the confederate statues and place names.

    You know what, Austin took all the confederate statues out of the mall at UT and I still know there was a civil war!

    It's amazing.

    I will go so far to say that even people in places with no confederate statues or place names at all know there was a civil war -- and that absence changes history not a whit.
