Is anyone as frustrated as I am with the current events?

Al Sharpton has already called or the removal of the Washington memorial, so Jefferson and other founding fathers won't be far behind. When is this going to stop, will all of the statues in Washington be torn down?
And so it grows! So MLK, the new Black History Museum, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks statues have to go! SAD! FREAKING SAD!

Trump was right..........both sides are wrong and must be stopped. The question is how to do this. Hate is taught to the very young and it is almost impossible to unlearn it.

The history books used in southern states have used such excuses for the civil war to avoid the ugly truth for a very long time.
Hmm! Under Federal Common Core, aren't all books the same? Just asking because Common Core sucks!

Term limits, think term limits. 4 terms for representatives and 2 terms for senators. That will keep any single person from getting to powerful. I think our forefathers would agree as they hadn't planed for professional politicians.

I call it what I want because I have a master's degree in American History and have studied the event rather thoroughly. Believe it or not, slavery was a by-product--an important one to be sure, but it was not the real root of the problem.
And so does my wife. Having a masters degree does not mean you necessarily know what your talking about. Sorry, but if slavery had been eliminated at the constitutional convention there would not have been a civil war. Instead the can got kicked down the road until Lincoln was elected. At that point there was a "rush for the door."

No, an informed and voting public is the answer. All term limits do is insure the loss of institutional expertise and having elected officials who know very little about what they are supposed to be doing over time.

Unfortunately we're all in this life boat together. That goes back to my statement about an informed voting public as the answer. And if everyone walks away from politics we end up with a dictatorship, so think about that for a moment.

As much as I hate the ideology of the white supremacist and the Nazi's they had a permit to march in Charlottesville, a permit that was originally turned down by the city until the ACLU got involved. The opposing organization's did not have a permit to be there. As far as I'm concerned the alt-left created the problem. What would have happened if they and the press just ignored them and didn't show up. There is just as much stupidity on both sides and it needs to stop.
I really think, with the exception of the Ahole ramming his car down the street, that this whole event was orchestrated for an unseen political purpose. Police asked to stand down, trucked in counter protestors, Governor and other politicians repeating what are obvious prepared talking points. Just seems too obvious.

Just coincidence, yeah, right.

Sir -- You TOTALLY miss the point of what's happening. Compare Washington and Lee. Washington was a slave owner who helped create the country. Lee was a slave owner who wanted to split the country. Unfortunately, you agree with the Nazis, not the Americans.
You are a very ignorant imbecile.
