STONE MOUNTAIN, GA (CBS46) Former Georgia House Minority Leader and candidate for governor of the state Stacey Abrams is calling for the Confederate carvings on Stone Mountain to be removed.

Abrams tweeted that the carvings are a "blight on our state and should be removed." She also tweeted that "Confederate monuments belong in museums where we can study and reflect on that terrible history, not in places of honor across our state."

The Confederate Memorial Carving has images of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and were not complete until a dedication ceremony on May 9, 1970. Finishing touches were completed in 1972.

Of course Washington and Jefferson will have to be sacrificed at Mt. Rushmore, too.  In their places J$ss$ J$cks$n and Al Sharptongue would be good replacements.  Actually, I would put Mike Tyson in place of J$cks$n and O.J. Simpson for Sharptongue. :silly:

Oh it won't stop there.  They will eventually start researching census records to find out who the descendants of slave owners were, and extract reparations accordingly.

But I'll bet they conveniently overlook the decendants of black slave owners.

Democrats trying to erase Democrat history.

Without realizing it, they are also promoting even more federal tyranny over the States.  (Remember:  The single most prominent issue of the Civil War was slavery, but there was a huge amount of animosity between the North and South that had nothing to do with slavery, per se.  It appears that our first Republican administration under our now beloved martyr Mr. Lincoln was disinterested in States' Rights in more ways than those centering on the knotty mess of slavery.) 

Kudos are to be extended to the Yankees and the Republicans for stopping the abomination of slavery, but let's not pretend that the North did everything right in the run-up to the War.

At that point they would receive small deliveries of semi-precious metal traveling at a high rate of speed.

As an afterthought, it occurs to me that they probably do realize that they are doing this.
