New Orleans' ridiculous mayor Mitch Landrieu sent masked men in the middle of the night to steal away one of the city's historical landmarks - the statue of Jefferson Davis along the boulevard that bears his name. You don't have to be a fan of the Confederate States of America, and you certainly don't have to be a fan of slavery, to reject Landrieu's campaign to bowdlerize our remembrances of a significant, if thankfully short, era in New Orleans' and Louisiana's history.

Here's just one way to tell Landrieu what more than two-thirds of Louisianans polled again and again think of him - leave our history alone if you can't respect and learn from it.
