As you’re well aware by now, there’s been a resurgence in the debate over Confederate statues following last week’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Now many on the Left are calling for the removal of anything representing the Confederacy.
Among them is Nancy Pelosi, who last Thursday urged Congress to remove all Confederate symbols from the U.S. Capitol. Given that Pelosi has been in office for the past three decades, one can only wonder why it took her over thirty years to realize those symbols were present in the first place. It’s a bit bizarre that Confederate statues suddenly bother her now. But like any leftist politician, she’s trying to score some social justice points.

While we’re debating offensive symbols, will Democrats argue for removing anything that symbolizes the Confederacy? Of course not – because that would mean censoring themselves. And curiously enough, even they didn’t have a problem with Confederate symbols until recently.
Let’s take a jog through memory lane, and look at how Democrats like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter courted southerners for their campaigns. Look:
And here’s Bill Clinton at a rally paying tribute to Sen. Robert Byrd, a former KKK member.

… and Hillary embracing him.
What do you think is more likely here: That Democrats are suddenly concerned about Confederate symbols, or that they’ll do whatever maximizes their number of votes depending on the political attitudes of the day?
I think the answer goes without saying.

The Left are lying hypocrites. We already knew that. Still, it IS hilarious to see the Clinton buttons with the Stars and Bars! I wonder if they’ll use a truck and chain to tear down Hillary! LOL! I hope pictures of these campaign buttons appear ALL OVER THE INTERNET!
Democrats are such absolute frauds.
no surprise here, but thanks for showing the pics. they are trying to erase their history in order to be able to inaccurately say that it wasn’t them who did, or were behind, those things. Just as they pushed the definition of fascism and Nazi over to the right – they are now working on moving slavery, the KKK, White Supremacists, etc over to the right too. And what we are not reading in a lot of our articles is how the Muslim Brotherhood’s CAIR is also behind antifa and the destruction of these symbols.
If the Republicans were smart, they would point out how much the Democrats embraced slavery and how they divided a nation and started the Civil War.
In response to Phillips assertion: No, I think Pelosi was elected to the first Congress in 1789.
If only there were some way to remind the whole Democratic party members that their elites may not be shooting them straight or looking out for their best interest
Does a bear s*^t in the woods? That goes without saying Demonrat’s are hypocrites!
Wasn’t Pelosi first elected to Congress during the Civil War?
Uuhh, duuhh.
