Story by Ben Kew •

One Democratic mayor has no interest in honoring the women who helped build modern America.
Donna Deegan, who was elected as the mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, in May, celebrated the removal of a Confederate statue on Wednesday but insisted she was not trying to "erase history" in the process.
The statue, named "In Memory of Our Women of the Southland," was erected in October 1915 and showed a woman holding her two young children by her side. It was situated in the neighborhood of Springfield, north of downtown Jacksonville.
Posting on the X social media platform, Deegan said the statue's removal was about showing the city's "shared humanity."

So beyond sick of this pandering virtue-signaling.
And slanderous, libelous destruction of our history. Sorry, it IS slander. We are not and have not been that evil a nation.

We have had our moments, but the monuments to reconciliation from that conflict are being systematically eliminated by decrees from people largely ignorant of the history of that conflict, and the reconciliation that is still going on, albeit in retrograde.
Still, to not focus on the good that has been done, the millions of lives sacrificed on the altar of freedom, both here and abroad, and to adhere to the historical fables that try to present very complex motivations as oversimplified caricatures of history as a basis for the destruction of those reminders of that complexity is folly. The same people who failed to understand the issues of that particular conflict will bring about the next through their lack of understanding.
It isn't just learning History which prevents its repetition, it is the understanding of History, which requires much more than a superficial treatment thereof.
Yet here we are, with urban populations proposing eliminating the means of production possessed by those who produce the very essentials on which they rely, economically and existentially, and looking at a cultural divide between those proposing that elimination and those who produce every bit as vast as that which existed in 1860, even as the monuments which commemorated the complexity and suffering of that conflict are being destroyed.
