I have long opposed the sweeping efforts to dismantle or destroy historical monuments and statues. (Here and here and here and here and here and here and here). While I recognize that there are some statues that should be removed, my primary objection is to the lack of a public debate over how we should address these calls. Other statues and memorials to Washington have been destroyed around the country. The news of the toppling of our own statue received surprisingly little coverage by The Hatchet and I did not hear any public statement from our Administration. I would have hoped that our university would have denounced this criminal act as a senseless and unacceptable act. It certainly would seem to warrant a tad more than “A GWPD officer found the head of a George Washington statue removed from a stand. The head was found laying at the base of the stand. GWPD called Facilities Services following the discovery.”

They need to change the name of George Washington University.
Also Yale University, Columbia University...
If, GOD FORBID, Biden wins, it won’t be STATUES they go after...it’ll be HUMAN REPUBLICANS!! And the Demoncrats will CHEER them on!
“Those people” and the MSM are like minded
- they’re all for it

As much as my better half would like to stop this Communist insurrection with peaceful means my common sense half says that these stories never get solved without bloodshed. We have to remember who we’re dealing with. These Commies are vicious,evil characters. They need to be DEFEATED not negotiated with. There will be an incident,which I’m surprised hasn’t happened yet,which will spark a shooting war. I would gird your loins people. Be ready for what’s to come. Cause it’s barreling down the tracks.
George Orwell 1984
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
How long before the democrats will be trying to pass legislation to rename the Washington Monument?
“If, GOD FORBID, Biden wins, it won’t be STATUES they go after...it’ll be HUMAN REPUBLICANS!!”
Unlike statues, people can push back. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen until we engage them in the smaller rural communities.
If you get federal funds then protect our assets .
Trump better stop these colleges and cities receiving federal funds
from destroying our Presidents .
We are looking like Venezuela before the election .
Stop twitting .
We want action .
I though Antifa was a terrorist group .
Where are the mass arrests ?
The leaders should be arrested and the financiers,
They need to change the name of George Washington University.

That’s easy. Just make it George Washington Carver University.

Well, there is that ONE brave statue that managed to fall on the retard’s head.
In King County, Washington they renamed it King County - after Martin Luther King, rather than Rufus King, Vice President at the time.
I’m guessing Inslee is writing up the memo now to rename the state of Washington as Washington, after George Washington Carver.
I fear this behavior will not end until every statute celebrating anything redeeming in nature is gone.
Rename it? They want to blow it up.
Ditto .
And no one is stopping them including Trump ?
>>Remember when the MSM mocked Trump for his comment that the Iconoclasts will go after Washington. Trump and freepers have much better insight into the mentality of these people than the MSM.
The media HAS to continue to deny it is happening because that was President Trump’s point in his press conference after the Charlottesville riot.
He denounced neonazis and white supremacists at the protest and said that some people just wanted to protect old statues because the Left wasn’t going to stop with the confederacy, they would also be coming for George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and now they have.
It is validation that there WERE and ARE good people who oppose the destruction of these statues and monuments from the past regardless any sins from the honoree.
