Austin Considering Name Change Due to Slaveholding Past

Austin’s Equity Office suggested that the Texas capital change its entire name in addition to removing statues and street signs in honor of Confederate soldiers.

One of the many similarities between our dangerous Left Wing Wackos and the Taliban is their quest to erase history. So maybe Austin should have a contest to rename itself, like Talistin or Obamastan or Hillaryville or Kookastan or Libnuttown or …

This is why you don't vote for Democrats, people.

Nobody is "triggered" we are simply disgusted because the FIRST thing Communists do is rewrite/erase history.
