For every Confederate statue, I think there should be another statue on the opposite side of the Confederate.
Just what is bringing this country down! We don't want to reward one child with first place because that will make all the other children feel worthless! Isn't that socialism?

"Star and Bars" represented a government. The "Pouncing Panther" represented a vigilante group. If the South had won the Civil War, we would all be under the Star and Bars.

WRONG! You may have earned the right to be respected for your service, but it does not earn you the right the make this country into something it is not. In other words, illegal aliens come into this country, they don't learn the language of this country and insist that this country change to their language and adopt their customs, including celebrating their holidays. If that is the environment they want to live in, they should go back to the country that fits those requirements.
