Obama set race relations back 50 years.

the first black president should be front and center.

Bill Clinton?

One thing troubles me about this idea. Virtually every major Democrat proposal started out sounding preposterous; you name it, gay "marriage," socialized medicine, heck, the income tax. It all starts with no discernible support among responsible people. After enough time elapses, maybe a generation of children gets indoctrinated on it....it gets forced down our throats.

We shouldn't laugh at this nonsense; instead look at it as the very serious, very plausible threat that it is.

If the Sioux are supposedly angry that there are sculptures on the mountain now, adding a fifth face wouldn't improve things. Anyway, the four there were great Americans and dead when the monument was sculpted...by a great artist. So they are supposed to add a portrait of a man who is still living whose main accomplishment was being elected President? President Garfield should go up there before Obama--Garfield was a former college President and had been a general in the Civil War.

Even Garfield the Cat would deserve to be there before Obama.

I wonder what the ‘injuns’ would think of the further desecration of ‘their lands’. I doubt that adding a ‘black white man’ would make them any happier.

Maybe Warren G. Harding. Someone started a rumor about one of Harding’s ancestors to the effect that he had black ancestry. I think Harding was asked about it and said that he didn’t know. (Harding, by the way, had the courage to go to the South as President and speak out against segregation.)

Affirmative action is a policy in which an individual’s color, race, sex, religion or national origin are taken into account to increase opportunities provided to an underrepresented part of society. Businesses and government entities implement affirmative action programs to increase the number of people from certain groups within companies, institutions, and other areas of society.

The sentiment is fine: keep updating our history. We have two Mount Rushmore-worthy presidents in FDR and Ronald Reagan. But, there is no more room on that site.

I myself like renaming some Army posts after some of our greatest warriors of the recent past, and not mere generals:

Audie Murphy of Texas
Henry Johnson of North Carolina, and
Alvin York of Tennessee

For that matter, can we figure some way to honor Ted Williams (Marine fighter pilot during Korea) and Clark Gable (Army Air Force bomber crew member during WWII)?

I like President Trump’s idea of a garden of American heroes. But think of the garden as a virtual place, with the actual memorials scattered about the country, on the oceans of the world, in the sky, and in outer space.

Obunghole belongs on Mount Tushmore - kissing the ass of some foreign leader.

“...the first black president should be front and center.”

When we get one, let’s talk about it, maybe.

Zero is only half black...

Just sayin’...

Wonder if they are kicking themselves now for being so stupid.


I know one elderly demoncrat who did just that. He sadly passed away now. He voted for the demoncrat because of ACA.

On the flip side I have met many “people of color” who said they did not vote for Trump the first time but will the second time. Why? Their answers are all the same, Trump has done more for them than a person who purported to be a “person of color” in the WH and on top of that they now have a job. It’s the economy stoopid!

Let me guess - does it involve him having more gay sex with white men?

Instead of that, we should carry the official portraits of the Obamas and incinerate them in the White House driveway. Or maybe the parking lot at Mount Rushmore. Or Stone Mountain.
