The Pike statue last night - He represented native Americans in claims against the US Government. That’s why he led a NATIVE AMERICAN brigade in the Civil War. His troops allegedly scalped prisoners.
And his statue was because after the war he was a great leader of the Masons.
The statue was dedicated to the ideal of peace rather than war
Agree 100%!
We are nowhere to be seen in this culture war.
Wth? More self-loathing...no thank you.
We’re not calling cowardice out if we’re not naming names.
“In that spirit I forgive all of those who failed to answer the call as the statues started falling. But we need you back. As is so often the case, the great compromise failed. There really are only two sides, one that seeks to burn everything down and one that seeks to save the greatest nation the world has ever known. Pick one. Now.”

I have been saying for years now that the Republican party ought to be renamed the Reflublicant Party. Its leadership is mainly cowardly and stupid. I could not inspire a buzzard with a full gizzard to take a crap.
all by design... the GOP wants to lose, all to depress turnout
its not gonna work.
I heard no one from either side saying this is a bad idea.
That was both disappointing and alarming.
Most of the GOP seems more comfortable reacting vs enacting.
Thank you! This has been driving me nuts: Nike apparel is created by an army of about 800,000, all overseas earning on average 70 cents an hour. The gear is marked up about 400% to sell to kids in the inner cities who literally kill each other for the shoes. The company enriches a handful of athletes to promote the brand. Then they donate to BLM who funnels it through Act Blue to the DNC, who if they win, will erase any attempts Trump has made to encourage companies like Nike to manufacture in America. Then BLM tells us that a beat cop earning $43K a year is the real power.
Imagine Nike employing 800,000 Americans at union wage (instead of spending $6B a year in celebrity endorsements). But never mind. Tell me again how slavery in America 150 years ago affects you today? Let's watch another Hollywood movie reminding you of slavery. Have they made any movies set in factories in China? Funny how major corporations, the Marxist wing of all American universities, and the intelligence wing of the government don't agree on anything except: Trump, and by extension, America, has got to go.
Great article.
One can try to argue gradations of compromise with these radical burn-it-all-down lunatics, but you’ll still be devoured by them. They don’t compromise.
How is Trump going to be reelected as a ‘law and order’ president, if there is neither law or order? He has to act against this lawlessness... he can’t just hope to ride it out through the election.
The only real shot we've got is to let the left run wild for a bit, and thereby discredit themselves with the majority of the country that still hasn't lost their minds. Maybe the suburbanites who think it is trendy to voice support for BLM will start to reconsider when they realize the movement isn't quite what they think.
Leftist radicals smashing stores, and toppling statues of Washington and Grant, adds to vote total we will need in November.
The Federalist is a bunch of cowards for removinh commenting inorder to get Google Ad sense back on the site.
This is how we’ll lose the senate and make no gains in the house! We need to start putting blame where it belongs and counts ...By blaming the spineless greedy republicans reps will only serve the rats!!! STOP IT!! Tucker is doing the same helping the rats this November...STOP IT!! THE BLAME FALLS SQAURELY ON THE LIBERAL GOVERNORS OF THOSE RIOTOUS STATES!!! The demonic rats are LICKING THEIR EVIL CHOPS JUST ABOUT NOW!!! NOVEMBER can’t come soon enough for them!!
I think the blacks can knock down all the statues they want and even get a few laws passed, but a few years downstream their place in our society and economy will not have changed.
Unless they change themselves from within.
The GOP is worthless and many Conservatives go to work and live a normal life as opposed to scum who are leaches,destroyers and compensated by the leftist cabal.
Nailed it.
When the Mobile, Al. local government removed a Confederate statue in the dark of night the only opposition statement the local press could get was from a representative from the Sons on Confederate Veterans....who would only speak anonymously.
No, they are not. The people who toppled them are responsible for toppling them. Conservatives, as always, are slow to act.
No. NAME NAMES and make them defend their position.
