Just a wild guess, but I’d say America is under attack.
Have any monuments that belong to you been removed?
I got a chuckle this morning at 4chan. Some Australian poster commented that he admired the courage of those “Southern Yanks”. A southern boy posted back that he thanked the Aussie for the support but took issue with being called “A Yank”. The Aussie snapped right back, “If you didn’t want to be called Yanks maybe you should have fought a little harder!”
Actually yeah. One of my family is buried at Gettysburg. The country he died for is completely gone now.
The radical Left is the same ilk who created and funded the Bolshevik Revolution and MANY others, causing 10s of millions of deaths in the last century. Anything they don’t agree with, they destroy. Just like radical Islam.
What is the matter with some of you? I am sure you know well what he meant.
How about we put all of the monuments on battlefields
It will give context and still provide honor
The people doing this don’t care who or what they offend. They are anarchists and lefties. Their methods are always the same
Yeah, that is what worries us:(
Yes.
They are The American Taliban.
Antifa IS Taliban.
Oh, I thought it was going to be about the japping of our monuments - back in WWII when FDR threw Japanese citizens of this country into concentration camps - no matter what else that man stood for, and whatever good he might have done - his name should be removed from every school and street, his statue from every city park for the evil he did in that act of naked racism and bigotry.....
As I understand it, he not only put them in prison camp. He dispossessed them of any real estate or personal property they owned. After the war, when they were released, they had nothing, and started over from scratch. Has anyone ever heard THEM whining for reparations?
Wilshire Blvd had been full of Japanese businesses prior to WWII.
Japanese-american victims of internment received reparations in 1988: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988
Tough schitzky for the many of them who died during that 40 year gap, eh?
All of the monuments belong to me, it is my country and my heritage at stake.
“All of the monuments belong to me, it is my country and my heritage at stake.”
From the best I can tell, the monuments that have been taken down belong to the the cities where they were erected.
For example, the people of New Orleans erected the statue of Robert E Lee and they removed that statue.
It belonged to them.
It was their property.
But a specific cake by a Christian baker does not belong to that private citizen in today’s All-Left, No-Right public sphere.
I loathe the way cookie-cutter conservatives pretend that individual liberty and free market forces are controlling these predetermined communist outcomes.
If any incorporated city tried to remove something named after MLK (citing, for instance, that he was a plagiarist and an adulterer) it would be stopped - by external law and force - and people like you would just shrug and move along, undeterred by the obvious selective allowance for autonomous local ownership.
