The American Taliban seem to effortlessly pulled down and removed these sacred monuments, unopposed by those descendants that should have an understanding and love for these patriots long gone. One would think.<\/p>\n<p>But no, they come down and are removed by order of leftist City Councils made up of modern day carpetbagger Socialists, \u201cJohn Lennon glasses wearing\u201d dweebs or \u201cToxic Feminists\u201d deciding amongst themselves that these monuments offend them and should be pulled down. They understand little and don\u2019t care much of our heritage, all they feel is their sense of self-outrage. In a free society, at the very least there should be a referendum on actions such as these and the question should be voted on by the community instead of a self-appointed censor committee.
