The achievements of the Continental Congresses must be obscured before a political class can fabricate an alternative reality allowing full exercise of their arrogance and pride.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many more Founding Fathers were slave holders, because slavery was allowed in the thirteen colonies, as well as most of the Western World, as the Revolution began. The monuments in Washington D.C. are not associated with expected human imperfections but will always commemorate the extraordinary achievements of imperfect people to produce our founding documents that promised a future of ever-increasing personal liberty.
Dr. Martin Luther King saw preeminence of personal liberties as key to personal sovereignty when saying,” When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.”
We must hold fast to great Americans like George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, if we are to rediscover who we were and who we were intended to be. This country needs “a new birth of freedom” to keep faith with the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as the embodiment of the American ideal. Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”. Now it is our turn.
Have you wondered why there are no ‘white leaders’...
There was a time when the black community needed ‘leaders’ because they didn’t have the vote. That was more then 50 years ago...
Black ‘leaders’ today - in our modern world - are ELECTED JUST LIKE ‘WHITE’ LEADERS. Time to get real with these self appointed bullshitters....
Not every single one. I managed to avoid the brainwashing despite their best efforts. But your point is true. A strong majority of those under 40 are on board with the leftist revolution (and many of those that aren’t can be socially manipulated into compliance).
For every monument taken down, two patriotic ones need to be erected. For every school renamed by the Left, local school boards in patriotic areas need to rename a school after an American historical patriot. Why should the Radical Left be the only ones who are taking action? We are losing this cultural war by inaction.
Sometimes the pawns need to be eliminated to reveal the larger pieces behind.
(Amazing how we are taught to remove the closest threat first in combat.)
They will probably demand that Al Sharpton replace George Washington on our dollar bill!
I’ve got a relative in that age group that’s a surgeon.
he’s down with the revolution.
Also drives a $100K+ car.
Public school did the damage wrt him. But hey, his mom and dad made really good money because ‘free daycare’ and they take European vacations and she’s got a granite and marble and stainless steel kitchen to drool over.
It’s the important things that matter...
Raising an atheist commie...? guess that’s the price to be paid for all that nice stuff.
If both Washington and Redskins is offensive, what will the renamed team be called? The DC Obamas?
Re-deploy US troops around the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. Draw a clear line that our heritage will not be defaced or destroyed.
Hey Black Leaders,
Why don’t you actually do something meaningful for your community, like addressing why there’s a 70% Fatherless rate among Black American children?
Beyond that, go fu*k yourselves you race pimps!
No, you so called leaders better wake up and learn just how lucky you are to live in America. You may think you are riding high but pride can cause a mighty fall to a very deep hole.
There you have it folks. I’ve been saying this is what they were going for since the early 1990s.
What? You didn’t really think they were going to stop at Southern history and heritage did you? You’re a fool if you did.
Kapernick basically already said it needed to be.
Yep. I tried telling everybody that slavery existed under the Confederate flag for 4 years. It existed under the stars and stripes for 90 years. No slave ships flew the Confederate flag. Lots of slave ships flew the stars and stripes. Many were only too happy to support trashing Southern history and culture.....after all, it wasn’t theirs. Well? What will they say when its the stars and stripes? We all know its coming.
Black `leaders’, what I call the Paid Leadership, are doing nothing other than shoveling November votes at Pres. Trump, and doing it hand over fist.
Do they really think that an aroused white majority which is now armed to the teeth, are going to roll over and accede to their will? Do they think they can frighten voters at the polling places a la Black Panthers?
Or has their arrogance blinded them to the brink of the cliff which they are rapidly approaching?
Sooner or later, shots will be fired and flesh will be cut and if they want war, they will get war. Let the 13% overwhelm & defeat the 87%.
“Black leaders.”
...
“Angela Rye called for statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to come down...”
So one person no one has heard of?
No.
We will take back your citizenship and ship you over to africa.
We’re in “over my dead body” territory.
