The President is wrong on the Confederate Statues

28% are right IF Trumps position is actually
1. The Nazi's and the like are a bunch of idiots who have no place in our society, but they a right as citizens to their own views and to peacefully assemble .

2. that the ANTIFA people showing up assaulting people, destroying personal and public property and promoting violence to further their cause are as bad or worse than the right wing idiots. (when is the last time you saw right wing activists destroying property?)

3. That SOME of the people at the rally were fine people. Many people in our country see the memorials and statues as monuments to their ancestors who fought and died for their cause. They are not all skinhead idiots. And that Some of the left wing people there came to peacefully protest the rally and were not part of the violence the alt left people started.

Everyone needs to back up and tone the rhetoric down or we might as well lock and load and start the war all over again.

The ancestor part is a compelling argument when one thinks of their death, but in life, not so much.

If the Left would be satisfied with "just" the statues then I'd be on board. The problem arises however that the Far Left Wing nut jobs like Bill Maher would not be satisfied.

The crusade to tear down Hobby Lobby and the like could now be realized.

The proposed Law called "The Fairness Doctrine" could be resurrected and Talk Radio could finally be silenced.

Political Correctness could take US back to the days of the 80s where our sports teams were racist and now be justly punished.

The Washington Redskins and Kansas City Chiefs were just two.

Retribution for Slavery would also be on the table.
After all your ancestors were racist.

Do we really want to go down that road again?

They ( the left in power, the money that controls decisions) will not be satisfied. They will move on to the next issue. As a Republican I don't ever want to fullfill the stereotype real or imagined that we are racist. In this instance we can prove we are not indifferent to the symbols that were wrong in America.

Big picture what are our objectives? Our time is limited, let's move on.

Like I implied earlier, what would be next?

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
taken from public buildings?

No wait...
Been there, done that...

With "due respect", I don't feel that fighting for an ideology is pointless.

If we stand for nothing but compromise, are we not then watering down the very core of who we are?

Take US Sovereignty for instance...

01) Do we as a Nation Compromise Border Security for Open Borders?

02) Do we Compromise US Immigration Law in Sanctuary Cities?

03) Do we Compromise Arizona's Right to enforce US Immigration Laws?

04) Do we want to Sue any State like Arizona that refuses to "Compromise" with the Left?

05) Is Compromise smearing anyone who fights back against Illegal Immigration?
Kris Kobach SB 1070

06) Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now being charged with a misdemeanor infraction from the Left after 50 years of stellar service in Law Enforcement.
You know as well as i that this is nothing more than payback for his stance on Illegal Immigration and his treatment of prisoners in his facilities.

Is this the Compromise you want to make with the Left?
