What’s the statue count now? They’ve been toppling so many of them.

Unbelievable how they get away with it.

Hmmmm, Americans destroying their own history for the sake of a post-modern, politically correct directive.

Today’s fashion is to behead statues, tomorrow’s fashion will be book burning followed by real decapitations...

Do they know that he’s buried in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, along with J.E.B. Stuart, George Pickett, and a bunch of other Confederate soldiers? Or that his Presidential Library and mansion Beauvoir is in Biloxi, Mississippi? I visited all of them years ago...before Hurricane Katrina hit.

Next burn the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian. They are filled with the works of white oppressors. /s

Seriously, anyone who destroys priceless historical monuments should be executed on the spot.

Jefferson Davis - Political Party: Democrat.

Actually... Pretty much every confederate was a Democrat before the civil war, or became a Democrat after the civil war.

William ‘Jefferson’ Clinton... They didn’t call him Jefferson for nothing. Should Bubba change his middle name?

That would be significant were it not for the fact that the Democrats and the Republicans swapped ideologies around the 1930s.

The big city tax and spend liberals which were the Republicans, became Democrats, and the Rural "live within your means" tax paying conservatives, moved to the Republican party.

So the Democrats of today were what used to be the Republicans in the 1860s. They were Liberal. Race obsessed. Big Government. Republicans. "Mercantilism" as it was known in Lincoln's era, was "big business crony capitalism corruption" mixed with big government command economy style socialism.

FD Roosevelt and his socialism is what moved the very poor and the very wealthy into the Democrat camp, which is where these two groups have remained ever since.

As Reagan said, "I didn't leave my party... My party left me."

Reagan was a Democrat for the first half of his life.

I will call him mr. President when he does something about this. For now he’s Trump. He is worried about the poll numbers from bad optics because white suburban moms are feeling bad for these animals

To be fair, I think the very most important thing he can do is to get reelected. Trump's political instincts have been d@mn near perfect. I think he always has his finger on the pulse of America, and I think he will act when he decides the time is right.

I think these suburban moms will come to fear the mobs, and then it will be time to hammer the mobs.

AP reports? AP would be lying through their teeth would they not?

Protesters tore down a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis along Richmond, Virginia’s famed Monument Avenue on Wednesday night.

Protesting would be a legal activity. Destroying property is not.

Jefferson Davis - Political Party: Democrat.

Does that make you feel better? Do you think they took it down because of party affiliation? They took it down because he is white? What's going to be your snappy retort when they come after Jefferson, Washington and the other founders?

Does the Trump Administration have a plan? This is a nationwide uprising that is ongoing, with no opposition.

Really? Ordinary people would be prosecuted and imprisoned if they try to stop this.

I like President Trump and will vote for him again, but he is not going to do anything, none of our “representatives” will do anything about this.
For an elected official to do something they would have to risk loosing their careers, and none of them will do that.

We as people have sent and returned people who do not care about American to become our “leaders” for generations.
We have never pushed back against the cultural rot that has taken hold.
As much as I hate to say it, America is coming down because we have not and will not do anything to stop it.
And I include myself, I have no idea what to do. A singular person who tries something will be destroyed in our society today, who out there would come to their defense?, no one.
WE should be protesting in DC, WE should be marching on our cities, but we wont.

So it will keep burning and diminishing.

Slavery never happened. It is a myth, agitprop! All lives matter.
