That's what Sean Hannity has been talking about for days. Apparently just about every highway, courthouse and statue in West Virginia is named after Robert KKK Byrd.
So... what about it, 'RATs??
After millions of dead American soldiers lost defending freedom & over $20 Trillion in ‘Great Society’ spending, all actual and imagined historical injustices have by now received more-than-adequate compensation. That’s enough. We aren’t going to be bullied by these people. All this time they’re spending protesting and tearing down statues could have earned them a respectable associate’s degree in nuclear medicine tech or AutoCAD by now. Really grow sick of it....
Poor Lucy! Hideous statue. Hideous idiot POS kissing it.
In Philadelphia, there is s statue of former Police Commissioner and Mayor Frank Rizzo. Rizzo served two terms as mayor in the 1970s. The morons on the left now want his statue removed because they decided he must have been a racist.
Then they'll go after the "Rocky" statue next, because Sly Stallone is a Republican.
BLOAT
Didn’t he bomb some hippies from a helicopter?
MOVE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE
MOVE is a Philadelphia-based black liberation group founded by John Africa (born Vincent Leaphart) in 1972. The group lives communally. Its members frequently engage in public demonstrations against racism, police brutality, and other issues.
The group is particularly known for two major conflicts with the Philadelphia Police Department. In 1978, a standoff resulted in the death of one police officer, injuries to several other people, and life sentences for nine members. In 1985, another standoff ended when a police helicopter dropped a bomb on their compound, a row house in the middle of Osage Avenue, causing a fire. This killed eleven MOVE members, including five children. The fire burst out of control and destroyed 65 houses in the neighborhood, prompting widespread news coverage.[1]
...MOVE was originally called the Christian Movement for Life when it was founded in 1972. Its founder, John Africa, was functionally illiterate.[2] He dictated a document called The Guideline to Donald Glassey, a social worker from the University of Pennsylvania. Africa and his contemporary, mostly African-American followers wore their hair in dreadlocks, as popularized by some Caribbean musicians. They advocated a radical form of green politics and a return to a hunter-gatherer society, while stating their opposition to science, medicine, and technology.[3] As John Africa had done, his devotees changed their surnames to Africa to show reverence to what they regarded as their mother continent.[4][5][6]
John Africa’s MOVE members lived in a commune in a house owned by Glassey in the Powelton Village section of West Philadelphia. They staged bullhorn-amplified, profanity-laced demonstrations against institutions that they opposed, such as zoos (MOVE had strong views on animal rights), and speakers whose views they opposed. MOVE activities drew close scrutiny from law enforcement authorities.[7][8]...
...Mayor W. Wilson Goode and police commissioner Gregore J. Sambor classified MOVE as a terrorist organization.[16] On Monday, May 13, 1985, the police, along with city manager Leo Brooks, arrived in force and attempted to clear the building and execute the arrest warrants.[16]...
They have always been the enemies of America.
Should we really care if a bunch of violent racist Democrats want to tear down the symbols of past racist Democrats? It’s not my battle.
Take down all monuments and everything named for Woodrow Wilson.
That was W. Wilson Goode, Philadelphia's first black mayor. Under Goode's "leadership", an entire neighborhood (a black neighborhood) was burned to the ground after police dropped a bomb on a house occupied by a radical group called MOVE. Of course, being black, Goode was given a pass on this. Leo Brooks, the City Managing Director (the equivalent to a deputy mayor), who was on the scene directing operations when the bomb was dropped, was also given a pass (also black.) Instead, the Fire Commissioner, being the highest ranking white official they could find, was blamed for the disaster.
