Jacobin Snowflakes Destroy Silent Sam Statue

Silent Sam, a Confederate monument at UNC-Chapel Hill, was erected over a hundred years ago to commemorate students who lost their lives during the War of Northern Aggression. For many alumni, this statue was seen as a protector of this institution of high learning, but today’s doctrinaires see this inanimate object as an oppressor. Silent Sam withstood many a storm over the century, but it couldn’t survive the wails of snowflakes.

As a student of history, I cannot help but think of radicals who’ve destroyed institutions, lives and complete civilizations. They usually start with statues, then they desecrate cemeteries and churches and finally the slaughter of human beings.


These snowflakes remind me of the Jacobins of the French Revolution; nothing was sacred to these people. Here is an excerpt from Citizens by Simon Schama:

But the most unruly demonstrations of dechristianizing zeal probably happened more or less spontaneously. When a regiment of the army, two thousand strong, arrived at Aurexxe en route to Lyon, for example, the cannoneers smashed in the church doors and mutilated images and statues of saints. A crucifix was taken from the chapel of Mary and paraded about upside down for citizens to spit on. When a local quarryman refused to do this, one of the soldiers cut off a part of his nose with his saber.


And of course, some of these revolutionaires were people who held prominent positions in the community.


More orderly forms of dechristianization were provided by such representanats-en-mission as the ex-Oratorian priest Fouche, who undertook a particularly enthusiastic campaign in the Nievre, where he stripped cemeteries of all religious symbols and posted on the gates his famous dictum “Death is but an eternal sleep.”

Governor Roy Cooper is as despicable as the ex-priest Fouche; this man is a demagogue who has just a much contempt for our history as the snowflakes who destroyed Silent Sam. These modern day Jacobins should be prosecuted, but justice will not be served when a fellow traveler resides in the governor’s mansion.

Governor Roy Cooper

The Governor understands that many people are frustrated by the pace of change and he shares their frustration, but violent destruction of public property has no place in our communities. 2/2

No Commemorative Monuments for Snowflake Jacobins

It’s official.  I have reached the milestone of being an old fogey.  Exactly when did this happen?  Well, it started during the Obama’s administration’s cultural revolution of social upheaval and complete rejection of long held beliefs in family, tradition and morality.  This rejection has snowballed into an avalanche of Jacobinism that is destroying our history and the very fabric that makes us Americans.

This year I visited three of our military national parks: Shiloh, Chickamauga and Chattanooga.  I can not help but contrast the character of the people who visited these battlefields to the snowflakes who are tearing down Confederate monuments.  The former showed respect for those who fought and died in the great struggle whether that be union or independence, while the latter are a bunch of nihilists that respect nothing, not even themselves.

These monuments are remembrances.  They were erected so that future generations will not forget their history and maybe learn from it.  But most, such as the monument in Durham, are memorials to that communities dead whose unmourned remains are strewn across a distant battlefield.

As I was touring these battlefields, I couldn’t help but wonder as to what Southerners of that generation, who experienced the destruction of their family and homes by a Yankee invasion, thought about all these monuments commemorating a Northern victory.  Surly, they had to have some resentment, if not, outright hatred for these conquerors.  Why didn’t they destroy these monuments?  Here is an excerpt from an article in the Civil War Trust describing the dedication of our first national military park at Chickamauga:

 In September 1889, veterans of the Army of the Cumberland and the Army of Tennessee gathered in Crawfish Springs, Georgia, to hold a grand barbeque in commemoration of the 26th anniversary of the Battle of Chickamauga. With thousands in attendance, the governor of Georgia welcomed the former soldiers of both armies as guests and declared the event to be a celebration of both sides’ deeds and their renewed and eternal bonds of brotherhood. Former Union general William Rosecrans, addressing the crowd, said, “The occasion is one for which you will look through history in vain to find a second. Today ... survivors of [the battle], both Blue and Gray ... are assembled together to consider how they shall make it a national memorial ground.... It took great men to win that battle, but it takes greater men still ... to wipe away all the ill feeling which naturally grows out of such a contest.”

How can this snowflake generation have any ill feelings over something they never experienced, or have no understanding?  We can thank all these Marxists professors who have indoctrinated our youth into hating their country and its history.  But I can assure these Jacobins one thing: no monument will be erected to commemorate their destructive achievements.
