Abolishing The Abolotionists

The other day I reacted to the forcible removal of the statue of Ulysses S. Grant in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park by stating protesters, er, left-wing mob are unwilling or unable to make a distinction between those who preserved slavery and those who ended slavery.

This madness made its way to Madison, Wisconsin last night when a left-wing mob forcibly removed a statue of Hans Christian Heg, an abolitionist who led the 15th Wisconsin Infantry during the Civil War dying in combat in 1863. The statue was erected in Heg's honor in 1925.

The statue was unceremoniously dragged and dumped into Lake Monona.

It is one thing to abolish monuments to the Confederacy. But now we are talking about abolishing the Abolitionists.

The fact there is an effort to erase both sides of the Civil War from history leads me to conclude this crowd wants to abolish a great deal more than statues. They would like to abolish every remnant of America good or bad and start at year zero.

If that is the case then a lot of Americans are going to be injured and killed in the process. These so-called revolutionaries want to crack some eggs.
