The Republic will not erase any name from its history.
Emmanuel Macron. President of France. June 22, 2020

" I will be clear.
The Republic will not erase any name from its history.

It will forget none of its art works.

It will not take down statues.

and

Without Republican order, there cannot be security or freedom.

We will not bend when it comes to tackling racism, anti-Semitism, and discrimination, and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances. But this noble fight is perverted when it turns into communitarianism, into a false rewriting of history. "

    I give politicians credit for talking. The problem is that is where their support of my rights usually stops.
    I'll give Macron credit when he does something to back up his talk. So far it sounds like he is running for election and making promises.

    True, and Macron is a centralist and statist.
    But when he gets something right, he deserves credit for that.

    From, The history of the English Speaking Peoples, Churchill, I changed my opinion on Lee- Robert E Lee is among the greatest generals. Not just, like Rommel, a good soldier on the losing side, but for military genius and especially character.

    This crap better not come to my town. We have streets are named after Confederate Generals. "Johnson, Jackson, Hood, Lee, Beauregard'. I don't see us renaming them. Our chief of police is named Robert E. Lee!
