Take down the Washington Memorial today and they will be wanting to raze Mount Vernon tomorrow.
The only solution is to put your foot down on the first demand and walk away. You will never appease them. Never.
After we change the name to the Biden Welcome Center
When will they rename the streets/buildings etc. that were named after KKK Byrd in North Carolina???? I won’t hold my breath.
No, you guys have to come down. Hard.
No doubt about that.
The first major signal was the abandoning of the Minneapolis fort known as precinct 3.
Sent a crystal clear message that the police are in retreat. The anarchists filled the void created by the weakness.
Appease them and it will never stop....
Yes. It is truly like the WWII statement: First they burned the books. Then they burned the people.
The statues destruction gets the violent video game brutality generations (the 20s and their parents in the 40s to 50s age groups) to accept “killing” video enemies and statues.
Then they transfer to live Deplorables.
BLM is egging on crowds in Washington State with “The police are using violence to suppress our reclaiming of stolen property they took from the indigenous peoples here. We have to use violence, too.”
Agreed.
I would add, protection around Mt. Vernon and Monticello as well.
The line must be drawn indeed.
So one person no one has heard of?
==================================
The way things have quickly devolved in the last week or two...even if it's just one unknown person at this point (which is doubtful), there will be 100 by the end of the day, and then 1,000 within 48 hours.
Within a week or two, we could see some of these anarchists actually try to damage (beyond graffiti) any of our major historical landmarks.
no it’s not. it’s just the opposite.
even if it doesn’t this time, it will next time.
and now Jefferson and Washington monuments and anything to do with them will start being destroyed.
This is a different America we are living in.
Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t happen.
It’s the way dems work. Say something outrageous enough times until people become used to hearing/seeing it.
like with the gay movement through the decades.
Not long ago I would have said NEVER will kids of age 7 decide they want to change “genders” and be helped.
America has gone mad
Yes we are.
Because this is becoming just like the Bolshevik/PRC Revolutions.
The Marxists are emboldened by what they've "achieved" in the last several weeks alone.
Police precincts being abandoned.
Editors being fired.
Books/Movies/Shows being canceled or heavily censored.
Speech & love of country/our flag being censored & people who hold those views publicly shamed to the point of feeling like they need to apologize.
The opposition ("Republicans"), save for a few lead by Trump, cowering in fear for being labeled a racist, or a thisist or a thatist.
We've had riots and "uprisings" in our past, but nothing like we see now.
Our culture, overall, has eroded. That communist/Marxist crap we used to read about and see in other countries, has arrived in full force on our shores.
Like LGBQT overplayed their hand in pushing for health care and prisons to pay for sex change operations.
or pushing for letting children decide if they want sex change?
or teaching anal sex to 10 year olds?
Who’s hand did they play into then.
Because that all happened.
I suspect this federal park is well protected now.
Leni
Well the south and parts of the midwest are stupid enough to think this won’t come to them.
I know. it’s impossible. They’ll shoot all the rioters and hooligans and antifa and BLM dead.
That’s good in the movies.
But not ONE southern statue was defended. Not one flag.
Talk is Cheap.. Really cheap. And getting cheaper every day
There is a saying:Money talks and bullshit walks.
Just got off a company townhall meeting and got treated to 2 black employee props to tell their stories of how racism impacted their lives and how terrible America is....and how they were followed and daughter was beaten by police and how a they were ignored at a restaurant because “sorry we didn’t see you” (yeah that NEVER happened to me as a white person...never!) and all of it is just effing Gospel that it’s because they are black! The old white CEO made himself out to be soooo virtuous because even in the 60s he hung out with a bunch of blavk people in a dorm room and they told him “ when you leave here you go out to a white world, when we leave we go back to a black world”. It sounded so made up! This is just too much. I know they will plan some big guilt trip training session. The training lawyers are going to cash in on this big time...watch!
No shortage of collaborators either especially amongst military leadership
Anyone here thinks military won’t come for your guns needs to wake TFU
“Just to be clear, this is largely being pushed by white Marxists. The blacks are just pawns.”
Exactly. So are the useful idiots in the GOP who think it’s a swell idea to promote hate for Confederate history.
