Pelosi Joins the Mob, Calls for 11 DC Statues To Fall
The Western Journal ^ | 6/12/2020 | Jarred Harris

The radical leftist movement that has toppled statues across America has gained a major ally in our nation’s capital.

In a Wednesday letter, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there are 11 statues currently standing in the U.S. Capitol Building that she wants removed.

“Currently,” Pelosi wrote, “11 statues representing Confederate soldiers and officials are on display as part of the National Statuary Hall collection in the United State Capitol.

Brigham Young (represented by one of the Utah statues) allegedly held some racist views in his time.

ALLEGEDLY???

Brigham Young-President and second 'Prophet' of the Mormon Church, 1844-1877- Extract from Journal of Discourses.

"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable and low in their habits, wild, and seemingly deprived
of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind.

The first man that committed the odious crime of killing one of his brethren will be cursed the longest of any one of the children of Adam. Cain slew his brother.

Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which is the flat nose and black skin * 

Trace mankind down to after the flood, and then another curse is pronounced upon the same race *--that they should be the 'servant of servants' *, and they will be, until that curse is removed."

 

* (Not found in bible)

* (Noah would have had to be black for this to occur)

*Genesis 9:20-25 

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded[a] to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,

“Cursed be Canaan!
    The lowest of slaves
    will he be to his brothers.

 
Makes ME wonder why Canaan got cursed; since it was his DAD that saw his father naked!




 

When Mormon 'Prophet' and second President of the Church, Brigham Young, spoke in 1863 the following was also said:

"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race?

If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God is death on the spot.

This will always be so."

(Journal of Discourses, Vo. 10, p. 110)

 

(I guess Mr. Young was wrong.)

I will argue that at present, Pelosi is not seeking more power, she senses she is in trouble and is feverishly trying to keep power.

Loss of power means loss of legacy and disgrace

Pelosi certainly shows she’s involved with the violence and destruction of our country.

When they come for reparations from Whitey’s houses, savings, and retirement funds, then the ‘Summer of Love’ in the streets will really begin!

My views have remained constant on this since my early 20s when I became aware of confederate statues and holidays. My take on it is why do we have statutes and holidays anywhere in America for a rebellion that sought to destroy America? It made, and continues to make, no sense to me. It would be like having statues of Benedict Arnold.

I will admit the fact that liberals, who I very rarely agree on anything with, are the proponents of this movement, gives me pause. But even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I am also perplexed why the people that support these monuments seem to be more loyal to a failed rebellion than to America herself.

...." it is the absence of the icon, or any icon, that conforms to the new ideology"....

Pelosi is obviously a destructive participant these days....why she is not charged

for her behavior, at least called to resign is beyond me.

Reminds me of when she tore up the State of the Union Address.

“All those statues are of demonicRATS.”

Democrats are trying to rewrite history. If they remove all the Confederate statues, then they can blame the republicans forever. Next up, US history books will be rewritten.

As a daughter of a mother and father WWII veterans, that picture ticks me off. PELOSI has no authority to present flags to non-military. Has the military seen this?

Honestly, I don’t care anymore. If Democrats want to tear down all the statues of their fellow Democrats, fine. My give a crap meter is pegged.

This is a group which want's to destroy Culture and History so they can re-program people.

History teaches us:

“Where They Have Burned Books, They Will End Up Burning People”

Sadly, my humble opinion is that a great amount of Americans, maybe even a majority, has given in to the commie tactics. The young are indoctrinated by the school system for the past 35-40 years. I know my three brain dead kids are. They think the government will take care of them. They were raised in the military and knew what the cost of our national safety cost. They knew of military men who died on active duty. But, they were in civilian schools while I was here in the states, and even in the military school system is the same, a bunch of leftists.

Our older folks are scared. They are afraid of the lefties taking away their social security and Medicare. I read an article this weekend that said that the closure of all the businesses for just these three months or so would likely cost our economy over $11 TRILLION dollars in the next 10 years. So, with a bunch of brain dead kids and scared older citizens, WHO HAVE TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER, we are in trouble.

States have lost their minds wanting to do away with the police. They do that and we are defending our homes like a fort. I have my pistol, rifles and shotgun near at all times now. I have noticed more car traffic at nights around here and we live out in the country, seven miles from our small town and 30 miles from the larger town where the sheriff's office is. Our sheriff does not patrol much. I wonder what the hell they are doing!!

The Republic is under attack folks. I don't think it will ever be the same. I think we are on the back side of this nation's greatness. The left is doing every damned thing it can to turn this into a western providence of Red China or the Soviet Union, whichever gets here first. This is not going to get better. The left smells blood in the water and they will not give up. The commie politicians will support them in their endeavor to tear the Republic down. Whether you believe it or not, the Bible DOES speak to these times. It does tell us of a One World Government that will one day rule the world, minus Red China and most of the east. It is there. If you are a believer, you will know this. Nonbelievers will not get it. But, time is running out. These times were spoken of in many Books of the Bible. The warnings are there. And, they are coming true, right now, today.
