It seems to me that supremacists shows up and try to shut down the other side because they believe they are the superior to the other side. All supremacist movements scare me, even the violent alt-left supremacist movements. Seems to me if they had stayed home there would be story, little to no violence, no murder, etc. My father always told me, you don’t going looking for trouble, because trouble will find you and it will either hurt you bad or may just kill you. It seems the alt-left should have known this, stayed home, ignored and marginalized the alt-right rather then make them a money making story for the news media.

Are there any statues or portraits of Margaret Sanger that should be taken down? How about Robert “Sheets” Byrd? How about Al Gore’s father, a Senator who voted against the Civil Rights Act, along with other Dem senators? How are portraits of southern Dem governors who were against Civil Rights for Blacks?

Trump should repeat this and reject this Stalinist eradication of our history.

Okay, can I insist that Seattle remove the statue of Lenin that has stood in the Fremont district of Seattle since 1990? I find Lenin and what he stood for, and the many lives lost under his regime and other communist regimes, to be offensive.

200 people can do a lot of damage. Particularly when you have 20000 people sitting on their rumps watching that 200 tear apart their country with barely a whimper.

They can change the name of Columbia U to Faggot College. All the leftist dish*ts who went there can then choke on it.

You’re absolutely right that a “mere” 200 could do major damage to your city or state.

What I was thinking is that NEWS COVERAGE feeds the Beast and only 200 people is a pathetic poor showing in NYC and should not be news. Note: 200 people protesting abortion is not considered news. Even 50,000 pro-lifers is not news.

The majority of *female* voters voting for Trump -— 30 million -— is apparently not news. (I’ve seen even FReepers under the impression that female voters mostly voted for Hillary.)

But 200 people in NYC protesting a statue, is news?

To the people who select what we’re going to think about 24/7/365.

Good luck with that. I will smash any indigenous peoples day statue with a baseball bat until there is nothing left of it. I will buy 10 statues of Christopher Columbus and put it outside of my house on Staten Island and let every newspaper know and beat the living f*** out of every piece of s*** Indian white liberal or anybody else that comes near it.

Anti-Columbus Day protest Columbus Day controversially commemorates Christopher Columbus reportedly arriving in the Americas on 12 October 1492. Columbus is believed to have brutally enslaved the indigenous people upon his arrival and imposed harsh punishments, including torture. His arrival also ushered in European settlers to the Americas who waged wars against Native Americans and brought diseases with them that had a lasting devastating effect.

Um, I'm pretty sure Columbus never even made it to the mainland. He only ever hit a couple islands in the Caribbean. And, he wasn't even the first European to make it here.

I know, let's move Columbus day to 09OCT, and instead, we'll call it Lief Eriksson Day!

> “rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day”

Fly ‘em all down to Bogota, COLOMBIA...and let them agitate to change that country’s name, preferably in front of the presidential palace! Yeah, that will be fun! /s;)

“Let the Taliban Artillery troops take out Teddy at Mt. Rushmore.”

You have said a LOT in that remark...the Taliban would destroy ALL faces on Mt. Rushmore...representational art of any kind is considered idolatrous to muslims, those Commie nutcases ate in a way, clearing the decks for Islam...wonder if any Arab money is funding them???
