Sad, very sad for Chatham County. If you don't like it, don't look at it or go another way. Just like I use a remote to not watch cnn or msnbc. So the march to change the landscape continues

IANAL but the best I understand, the Daughters of the Confederacy says "We gave it to Chatham County, it belongs to you, therefore according to state law (the link you provided), it can't be removed".I fail to see how the law can be broken like it was and a Judge of all people allowed it to proceed. Attached is a link to the monument protection law that was passed in our state.

Another childhood memory that now makes folks uneasy. F 'em. They'll continue to raise hell and get their way..til they Don't.I was born and raised in Pittsboro. When I was maybe 5 years old my father told me to keep an eye on the statue, because when it got cold, he put his hands in his pockets. I always thought about that when I drove past it.
I only go home now for holidays and the occasional visit now. I do not recognize the damn place. Please start referring to it by it's new name, South Chapel Hill
Subject: History Repeats Itself
History has a way of repeating itself, or at least rhyming. The Chatham Democrat Party Communists were successful in removing a monument that they didn't like, and I guess that congratulations are in order. They can now go down with other groups in the history books. You see when the Nazis took control of Warsaw they destroyed statues they didn't like. When the North Vietnamese communist took over the south after the American evacuation, they destroyed statues they didn't like. When the Taliban came into power in Afghanistan they destroyed statues they didn't like. When Isis started taking control of areas in Iraq, they destroyed statues they didn't like. Now Democrats are in control of cities and are starting to remove statues they don't like.
Can someone tell me the functional difference between them and the collectivist cultural assassins of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria? Having removed inconvenient symbols of our culture and heritage, under the cover of darkness and in the dead of the night no less, how can they look at themselves in the mirror? Are they now volunteers in a new American Taliban?
The Chatham Democrats can rejoice in their success but they should know that the issue and the problems underlying it are far from being solved. What hasn't changed, what doesn't go away with the statue is the anger, hatred and hard feelings that have been caused. The divide in our community just grew wider. Much wider. Of course this won't stop here with the statue and everyone knows it. Removing culture is only the first step. Next comes the demonizing and blaming for being the cause of every problem. History as well as current events like what is happening in Hong Kong and China shows what happens next, and it involves rail cars.
One of worsts parts of all this is that it was done while making pleas for mutual respect and decency. Saying that "we should be above this" or "we're better than this", "we just want the protests to stop and the agitators to leave the community." Calling for an end to the violence all while instigating it. These calls for peace and serenity were nothing more than telling others in this county to shut up while cramming a social agenda down their throats. Many of us have had enough. We have had enough of the Chatham Democrat's agenda, their zoning, their regulations, their affordable housing, their gun control, their social issues, and their stealing our money with the ever increasing taxes to fund their programs, schools and infrastructure for all their liberal imports and illegal "immigrants", their entitlements and demands for false reparations.
Having set the precedent, don't be surprised when others start removing that which they find offensive in middle of the night. As the 17th century English poet, John Dryden put it, "Beware the fury of a patient man."
I like it!Here was the message I sent to the Chatham Chatlist this morning. I will be interested in seeing if it gets published. I did borrow some of the text from one of the guys at NCrenegade.com with his permission....
I'd go for thatI know it is probably a pipe dream but, isn't there still a suite pending regarding the statue. IF the court rules that the statue belonged to the county and it is protected by earlier legislature then the county will have to put it back up. Can you just imagine what that place will look like while that is being done. Epic.
Several LEO's on site the whole time, it could have been uglier.My post from the other thread:
Commies don’t stop until someone fights back. There were only 2 results possible. Statue comes down, or an opposing force puts commies in the hospital or ground. History is pretty consistent in this matter.
yet.Meanwhile in every town in New Hampshire a Union statue has never been protested or vandalized.
Are ya going on a road trip?yet.
You won't catch me north of the Virginia border unless someone has a gun to my head. But there are still patriots in that part of the world that know what's up. Live Free or Die indeed.Are ya going on a road trip?
I hear tell Massholes are doing their best to screw up NH.

New Hampshire peeps are great but they have been invaded as well. If the goal is to erase all history of slavery and oppression then why haven’t they taken them all down? Are they not symbols of division of the country?
