USA is being Talibanned as we have recommitted to Afghanistan (to fight Taliban)while this country rots from within. You can’t make this sh*t up. This is how countries die a slow death.

Malcolm X worked with the KKK so all mention of him has to go...

Roosevelt turned back refugees for the Nazis to murder - any ‘official’ mention of him has to go. Same with Jefferson - owned slaves.. And President Obama - his mother’s family owned slaves.

Let’s wipe history clean... Orwell would love this.

So has the mob. And yes I got the mob reference. Unfortunately I have wiseguy relatives. Gaudy clothes, bejeweled wives, room temperature IQs.

They need to be sure to get rid of Father Duffy’s statue, he was a Catholic priest thus is an oppressor of non-Christians. And George M. Cohan’s because he brought joy and patriotism and love of the USA to thousands during his lifetime and we know that we can’t have anyone celebrating the greatness of the USA.

Uh, there were actually two mob references made in my original post to you on the Columbus obliteration thread.

Does the Joe Columbo rally at Columbus Circle ring a bell? Italian-American Civil Rights League?

All done in jest, but thanks for the update on that old neighborhood. See that Umberto’s Clam House is still there.

That's been in the N.Y. Post for a few days running, now. It's stupid, disgusting, and what else would one expect from a RED DIAPER BABY MARXIST, with the IQ of three day old road kill?

And the extremely LOUD voice, pushing this crap, is deB's right hand "girl"; the one who pushed to "honor" a convicted FALN TERRORIST MURDERER FELON!

What is left out of this article, but should be known by ALL here, is that this crap re the statue of Columbus, as well as other statues, has been going on, in NYC, long before Charlottesville exploded; sadly!

I’m sort of enjoying this madness - especially when the spineless Jon Meachum says something like “Well, I was all in favor of taking down Confederate statues but taking down Washington...that’s too much!” It’s called the slippery slope, idiot!
