"U.S. News & World Report" is the conservative news weekly, or was, I don't know if it still in print. During the mid-20th century Civil Rights Era it was supportive of segregationists. Yet in the above article Jamie Stiehm praises New Orleans Mayor Landrieu and argues that it is time for Confederate monuments to come down in the South.

Conservatives are abandoning the Confederacy.
