New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has taken down all of the city’s Confederate monuments, thereby guaranteeing a crime-free, prosperous New Orleans forevermore. He anticipates a population explosion in his city, for he has publicly stated that the presence of the monuments is why New Orleans lost so much population after Hurricane Katrina. His next step towards PC purity –and giving Confederate descendants a big middle finger (in the name of “unity”) — would be to gut the city’s Louisiana Civil War Museum and dump everything Confederate into the Mississippi. This might pose a conundrum for the mayor, however, since he is somewhat of an Uber Catholic, having attended Jesuit k-12 schools, Catholic University for his undergraduate degree, and Jesuit Loyola University-New Orleans law school.
The most unique item in the New Orleans “Civil War” museum is the crown of thorns that is said to have been made by Pope Pius IX with his own hands, and presented to Jefferson Davis. The pope made the crown while Jefferson Davis was manacled in solitary confinement for two years in a Northern prison. I guess the mayor, who comes from a very big political family in the most politically corrupt city, in the most politically corrupt state in America, would have to send the crown of thorns back to the Vatican with a note saying something to the effect of “Here, we don’t want your stinkin’ crown.” That should be good for another 10-20 black votes for Mitch in the next election.
