if I were, say, pissing on Robert E. Lee's headstone.

But not when looking at a statue venerating a man who fought a bloody war against the USA in an attempt to keep my people enslaved.

Unless maybe if I'm Clarence Thomas.

She will say more and more outrageous things, just like trump did, to get any attention. Eventually , we will think it's all normal and OK because it's just MTG spouting off. On the other hand, we don't dare let these people like MTG and trump go unchecked or they and their followers really will take off. It's a quandary what to do.

Southern pride is anti-biblical.

What I see in these Confederate Statues of Generals and other TRAITORS is this...."I am so proud of my White Southern roots for the murder, rape, continued enslavement, and the terrorization of a people considered sun-human. I am proud of my white privilege and status.I will continue to display that ideology for generations to come."

MTG is cracked, missing crucial brain cells to think coherently. A menace to society.
