I don’t get why we have monuments to confederates. We have a series of monuments or fly a confederate flag and celebrate traitors who tried to tear apart the union. If you are an actual patriot, it is rather bizarre. And when compound why the confederates were seceding...it is monstrous. It wasn’t over states right.

And I say this as a lifelong libertarian leaning republican. I challenge anyone who supports this beyond formal free speech statements to really ponder the statement being made.

@Sunujing There's a street here in my city called Balbo street. It's named after Italo Balbo, who was the Marshall of the Air Force in fascist Italy, commander in chief of the Blackshirt organization, and Benito Mussolini's directly named heir-apparent. He was basically the second in command of WWII Italy. And yet we named a street after him.
