The war on America's history continues. Here in St. Louis Charles Lindbergh is a great hero. The man who flew across the Atlantic was funded by investors from the Gateway City, and he named his plane the Spirit of St. Louis. His connections to this area is huge, and he used to be considered an American hero by many.

But Lindbergh was an isolationist and offered some sympathy to the Nazis early on, and so the Left, ever eager to find any excuse to go after one of our heroes, is now busy trying to erase Lindbergh from our national litany of great men. I mean, he's an old white dude so he must go after all.

Writing in The Riverfront Times libbie hippie ex-editor of said rag argues for the erasure of Lindbergh from our fair city. Ray Hartman, who now stars on Donneybrook, a local PBS debate show between local media dopes, wants Lindbergh gone. He wants the inner belt road renamed for someone else (probably Barack obama blvd. or something). He wants the monumenets torn down. He no doubt wants the mock-up of the Spirit of St. Louis in Lambert Field removed.

This is just another effort to erase the America that was and create new hereoes, new cultural icons, new history and traditions. This is how you wipe out a culture - one hero at a time.
