Haha - is there a statue of Farragut in NOLA?
It's right there on the internet.
There are actually a LOT of statutes of people I have questions about their validity in history. What if the people of lighter pigment wanted to cut down any statutes of Martin Luther King,.... Or maybe some of us don’t like stories of Michale Jackson or Elvis Presley... But HEY, it is part of the history, and history is full of shame, hurt, sorrow and idenity. LEAVE the statutes, all of them, POINT to the man and tell your children what an awful person he was. MOVE ON...
More gun sales, more CCW’s issued, more votes for Trump.
There’s an upside.
Yeah! Andrew Jackson doing all that Confederate shizzle in the Civil War...
I knew Old Hickory was physically tough and didn't scare worth a damn, but being in the Civil War fifteeen years after his death? THAT is bad-ass.
Mr. niteowl77
You, sir, are a keen student of history. If it weren't for Farragut inventing the radio in 17 BC, Herod would have needed to fly dirigibles and invade Poland during the 18th War of the Roses.
Civil War history is amazing!
I was wondering, is there a General Butler monument there? Put a General Honore monument up, “You people must be stuck on stupid.”
Don’t applaud me, I’m just reciting the known history of the world. :)
“Much easier to shut down the EBT system for a week or so. It’d be quite the apocalypse.”
And turn all the traffic lights green in both directions, too.
;^)
yeah.....he was a racisss.
It gives a whole nutha meaning to:
All of these rioters should be given some large bumps on their empty heads so they have something to “protest”. Arrest these bums. Throw away the key. If they have a problem with that, exile them to some place in the 3rd world.

I’m just applauding your remembrance of Leonidas in the Civil War.
Let’s us also not forget Ataturk Vs. Ramses II in the Battle of Hastings...
Maybe they though Andrew Jackson was Stonewall Jackson.
PING!
How many BLM rioters have been to prison and have converted to Islam?
Indeed. The battle of Hastings was a great victory for him.
One of the “tells” here is that the fedgov has NOT enforced existing on-the-books anti-riot laws, such as traveling interstate to instigate or take part in riots.
This is a signal to BLM, RevCom etc. to go for it.
If every out-of-stater arrested in Charlotte had big federal charges stacked on top of the local charges, the fun would go out of it.
Obama supports the rioters, there is no other conclusion to make.
'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist.
Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.
Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.
That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?
The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.
And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...
From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"
