Pat Buchanan: If We Erase Our History, Who Are We?
Patrick J. Buchanan August 14, 2017
When the Dodge Charger of 20-year-old Nazi sympathizer James Alex
Fields Jr., plunged into that crowd of protesters Saturday, killing
32-year-old Heather Heyer, Fields put Charlottesville on the map of
modernity alongside Ferguson.
Before Fields ran down the protesters, and then backed up, running down more, what was happening seemed but a bloody brawl between extremists on both sides of the issue of whether Robert E. Lee’s statue should be removed from Emancipation Park, formerly Lee Park.
With Heyer’s death, the brawl was elevated to a moral issue. And President Donald Trump’s initial failure to denounce the neo-Nazi and Klan presence was declared a moral failure.
