I have hick friends in Virginia up in arms about these statues. I am like I just don't give a shite either way and if the people or Richmond, Va. want that crap pulled down so be it. If these dumb statues celebrating your failed attempt to overthrow government are so important, put them in a private museum not funded by the taxpayers. I mean we are for limited government here right? Oh thats right, unless is supports the rich, wages war, puts people in prison or maintains confederate war monuments, than government is good.
