[Kaslin]

Wait until the "progressives" demand that we get rid of our Constitution. You know how they hate it.

[Altura Ct.]

They are already saying we should limit free speech.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Perhaps the outrage over slavery can be beneficially channeled. It’s not wrong to question our past, but it’s a must to look to the Lord for answers.

If we want God to be patient with us, we must be patient with George Washington.

[Travis McGee]

[Kaslin]

Exactly

[Licensed-To-Carry]

I bet they want to put Obamas face on the dollar bill, and the 5,10, 20, 50, and 100. Conservatives need to start preparing for some major upheavals headed our way.

[FrdmLvr]

The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written by slave owners. They must go.

This idiot wants low points in our history? 5 Cops were killed in Dallas and the President says it’s ok because the shooter was oppressed. Cops are slain in other cities and the President says we have to be tolerant and understand why the killers are angry. There is a movement out there calling themselves BLM and their goal is to kill as many whites as possible. AND DEMOCRATS ARE PRAISING THIS!

[teeman8r]

but slavery never happened.

where is the proof.

i think what we have is hearsay... no physical evidence...

this is what they will have in ten years... history deniers.

[Wuli]

Trump was right; where does it end.

[RitaOK]

Rye is a defcon Leftist loon, always out of control. An obnoxious butt-in, she is a staunch communist, imho.

[robroys woman]

Isn’t this what all of the really “bad” revolutions do - destroy history?

It’s interesting how these statues were fine for a couple of centuries, and now they are not.

Mark my words, once our founders are demonized, the foundation will be laid to destroy the constitution. That is what this is actually about.

[RayChuang88]

The Left wants to act like what Mao Zedong did during the Cultural Revolution—an act that wiped out much of China’s rich cultural and historical heritage. No thank you.

Now who didn't see that coming?

[bray]

Washington gave his slaves their freedom since he had too many and they never left.

[Puppage]

It’s not wrong to question our past

Nor can we change it by removing statues.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And we should refuse to allow that to happen. By looking to the transcendent power of the Lord. Never ever should we attempt to make men our cornerstone.

[AnalogReigns]

should be “razing”.....

[central_va]

The Lincoln Memorial needs to go.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It’s right to question the purpose of the statues.
