Pass the phyllo pies, and don’t let her vandalize the Lenin statue!

Heh. Folks on FR get really up in arms over that statue, but they wouldn't if they saw how it gets treated -- even by the lefties who make up Fremont. I've seen it with brown, dried-out garlands that were placed on it in spring, with a yellow rubber ducky perched (attached?) to the cap's brim, and other signs of disrespect.

And let's be blunt, the statue is in some ways an affront to them. To Lenin's back are symbolized guns representing armed, violent revolution.

They would NOT treat a statue of Lennon this way.

I view the presence of this statue here (not to mention how it came to be here, and how it is treated) a symbol of our victory over the Soviet Union.
