Think we can get them to take the statue of Lenin down in Seattle?

I am confused as to what Columbus has to do with supposed black racism

No, the prize is not the Founding Fathers’ monuments, but their legacy. The Constitution.

I think Tucker Carlson was correct when he claimed the BLM is the new DOMINANT far left US political party.

The American Revolution was performed with barely 1/10 of the population of the colonies. Fundamental transformation could occur without a shot being fired.

Conservatives are submissive and polite, too busy working hard and playing hard to have the desire to fight a battle with a chance of losing everything.. As long as the ATM keeps working and the groceries keep flowing there will be no pushback from the right, no one wants to be branded a racist or fascist.

Like Rush said "we are all talk" ( I swear he was almost going to name FR by name and stopped himself )

ALL of elected AND appointed clapped like trained seals for an ineligible Kenyan/British subject/Indonesian non-natural born citizen on Usurpation Day.

The Constitution is an illusion.

Columbus was not a savior, as such.
He was the seed, the symbol, of a glorious conquest.

That is, the European conquest of the world, 1492-today, roughly. Thats the most important fact of history of the last 500 years. And the condition of life for every human being alive today was determined by that, from broad population-level questions of existence, to the tiniest detail.

That nearly all the world wears pants, for one tiny, tiny thing. The first thing an anti-Colombian should do, I think, is put on a g-string, loin cloth or lava-lava.

The US situation is just one case of this “European explosion”.

Columbus was the father of us all, pretty much, outside of Europe.

Sad but true.

However people are being killed and attacked now. I'm not sure this “it's okay to kill and attack conservatives” is going to last.

Cutting off our speech too? This is not good. People will have their say either through legit debate or speech or through other ways.. I don't want to see it, but can you tell me that this is not fostering another Oklahoma City times ten? Remember that was done as a reaction to Ruby Ridge and Waco being swept under the carpet.
That's my fear. A few loons will let loose.

yeah sure, I’ll just mail in my ballot, no worries, the Electoral College will save us, for maybe one more cycle as the rats and roaches flee the cities and fill up the flyover states

Understand. What I'm saying is there will be a push back but it might be very ugly, and this is all because the Marxists are cutting off all of our freedom of speech and allowing violence against us. Look at New Mexico, that man was being chased and attacked and the c-word Mayor defends the mob, and chastises the man defending himself against being beat to death.

This is not going to keep going without a serious reaction and not from people who care about ATMs and Netflix.

"That's my fear. A few loons will let loose."

that is what they are hoping for, praying for, it wouldn't surprise me if they created a false flag, all they would need to do is find someone who posted something negative on social media, grab him, shoot him, and then go shoot up a protest, prop him up, and say "look what this guy did" (like vegas)

………

Put it on a magnetic sheet and remove when not in use. Hardware stores sell magnetic vent covers for HVAC registers.
