Unfortunately, many young Americans have learned history through the works of Howard Zinn. Zinn was a far-Left historian whose famous book, A People’s History of the United States, created a deeply flawed and highly deceptive picture of America’s past. But his themes of the oppressor against oppressed and clear moral dictates were highly appealing to many.
For instance, Zinn turned the famous explored Christopher Columbus into a cartoonish boogeyman, a genocidal monster who laid the groundwork for exploitative capitalism in the New World. It should be no surprise that Columbus statues have been among the most targeted by statue-topplers and vandals.

It’s hilarious and pitiful how the far left, commie worshipping maggots had to put up a statue of the retarded, baby killing Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg in Brooklyn. Meanwhile they are destroying and ripping down statues of REAL AMERICANS who did something useful for Americans.
Trump warned us they would go after Washington and Lincoln.
And the planned destruction of America rolls on more or less unimpeded.
They’ve already been targeted.
Their ultimate goal and prize is the Holy Bible,
This is an evil anti-Christ spirit at work, they do the work of their father Satan, it will not stop until all good is called evil,
“Their ultimate goal and prize is the Holy Bible,”
I agree with this 100%. Everything else in the Cancel Culture is just another step toward that goal.
In my city, they removed a Stephen Foster statue, that included a black man sitting at his feet. They hate America!
Thanks, TM!
They seem to be moving at breakneck speed in recent years, either that or this spirit was much better at hiding itself away and staying in the shadows in times past,
If its the latter, then it opens the door to much worse things are about to soon show up,
Some of us have been pointing out that this is exactly where the Left was headed for 25-30 years when they started targeting Southern history, culture and symbols. Unfortunately I remember all too many conservatives from outside the South were more than happy to pile on. After all, it wasn’t their symbols or history or culture being trashed.
Now those chickens are coming home to roost.
To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you. John Henrik Clarke
