A University of Virginia statue of Thomas Jefferson was vandalized with the words RACIST + RAPIST as the university commemorates the 275th anniversary of its founders birth. [
]
Virginia spokesman Anthony de Bruyn said acts of vandalism do not contribute to meaningful discussion as the university reckons with the complexities of the slave owning Founding Fathers legacy.

And......? We've ceded the greatest Republic on earth, a Republic built and sustained by great men. We ceded it to mongrels who are determined to destroy it. And they're succeeding. One state at a time. One statue at a time.
Pandora's box has been opened. It cannot be closed.

The Left has no argument for the policies it offers, but total misdirection of attention from what is relevant to any subject, problem or achievement, to what is only an irrelevant distraction.
The idea of someone vandalizing a Jefferson statue at the University that he founded is disgusting. Hope that the vandals are caught, expelled & prosecuted!
If it turns out that it was a non-citizen who participated, immediate deportation would be in order.

Please propose a solution.
To: Olog-hai
Please answer that question.

You are correct about the stupidity of many who embrace the mantra of hatred against all things American. But there is a clear pattern of deliberate misdirection of attention from the "whys" of our traditional success, to endlessly reiterated lies that have no relevance to current or past programs, problems or achievements; those, which actually divert attention from constructive answers to any actual problem.
Yes, most Leftists tend to be at least somewhat dysfunctional, analytically. But, then, there are the sociopathic Soros types, who know exactly what they are doing. Yes, Virginia, there really are evil men, who hate & despise all that the rest of us love & honor.

The only solution that comes to mind is if all conservatives, and I mean all, rise up in militant determination to undo the harm and perversion that permeates our country.
No more Marquess of Queensbury rules. This is a street fight and it's past time for us to meaner and deadlier than our enemy. We can still do it, now. We're not going to be able to do it in a few years.
And if another RAT gets into POTUS, it's game over.

Anyone who has fought for this country in combat in the Army’s or Marine’s infantry has no use for women or fags in combat. Women in REMF areas, like medical evacuation hospitals, are very good at their profession, and; I damn sure owe those nurses. Take that to the bank.

So when was Jefferson ever involved in rape. He did have slaves but as it turned out he treated them very well and they had far better lives here than they did in some African Shithole. We know it and they know it.

Disgraceful. That statue is in the old quad that Jefferson laid out. Discount Jacobins.
