I wish there was one Senator or Representative who had the courage and honour to read the entire eulogy in a debate on the removal of monuments to America’s past. Will any of these cowards protect America’s heritage from the neo-Taliban forces destroying America’s heritage?
The Democrat party invent the KKK.
Mohamed had slaves and Muslims have slaves in Africa and Asia today.
Muslims started the slave trade. The word slave derives from the Slavic people. Which were white.
As for our feelings our hurt crowd and we ignore the past. Too bad snowflakes.
think that is about as clear as you can get with these communists intention.
The fact they tore down a statue. Everyone that did it should be arrested and charged. Put them in jail for 3 years, and give them a heavy fine.
The piss poor local leadership that cave to the mobs need to be replaced ASAP.
If these communists get the revolution they are hoping, then they are going to quickly regret it. Only one side has been fighting so far.
This is what happened in Weimar Republic in the 1920s. I fear if they continue to escalate unchecked, then its going to lead something very bad. Again only one side has been fighting.
There is a silent majority that have been very patient with the Thugs.
There is clearly an absent of Leadership at almost all levels. The Universities hatred of our Republic did this to us. Along with most in the Media and most of Hollywood.

Thank you for the link. I’ve not heard or read this, I suppose I should be rushing to gather all the history I can. Thanks again.
Another excerpt from Lee’s eulogy on President Washington. There is not a single politician in our generation that is capable of anything remotely close to this level of oration.
This reminds me of the poem “There will always be an England”, written by men who could not perceive a day when their fellow citizens would forget and outright defile the memory and sacrifices of the men who defended their freedom and rights. The time is fast approaching when Patriots will need to sign the Declaration of old, and join in the defence of the Nation: “We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes And Our Sacred Honor”
“The founder of our federate republic—our bulwark in war, our guide in peace, is no more! Oh, that this were but questionable!
Hope, the comforter of the wretched, would pour into our agonizing hearts its balmy dew. But, alas! there is no hope for us;
our WASHINGTON is removed forever! Possessing the stoutest frame and purest mind, he had passed nearly to his sixty-eighth year, in the enjoyment of high health, when, habituated by his care of us to neglect himself, a slight cold, disregarded, became inconvenient on Friday, oppressive on Saturday, and, defying every medical interposition, before the morning of Sunday, put an end to the best of men.
An end, did I say?—His fame survives! bounded only by the limits of the earth, and by the extent of the human mind. He survives in our hearts-in the growing knowledge of our children, in the affection of the good throughout the
world; and when our monuments shall be done away; when nations now existing shall be no more; when even our young and far spreading empire shall have perished; still will our WASHINGTON’s glory unfaded shine, and die not, until love of virtue cease on earth, or earth itself sinks into chaos.”
You’re very welcome Irenic. As a Canadian, I read with great interests the writings of Washington and the other founding fathers of America, as well as those of Sir Edmund Burke who predicated the break away of America if England did not cease its oppression of the colonies. It is utter arrogance of our generation to look down on these men who led America to freedom, when they were unquestionably more educated, more eloquent and more honourable than any modern politician, journalist or academic.
But don’t you dare touch that statue of Lenin in Seattle.
Where on Monument? I never saw it when I lived there. I thought Monument’s statues were just Ashe, Maury, Lee, Jackson, Davis, and Stuart.

Now someone will probably tear down the Juneteenth Statues and Plaques in Galveston in retaliation. That would be a stupid thing to do.
Mob rule—what the Left always dreams of.
Che, Mao, Lenin, Obama and Castro statues being made to replace all those torn down
Look in the mirror we are ALL guilty..we have folded like cheap spineless cards...WE DON’T HAVE THE WILL or the desire TO FIGHT THEM! The mediaVOMITS have scared us into hiding! They are coming for our churches next ..so what are we going to do? Probably run to the nearest hole and hide! This ain’t gonna pass..it’s going to get much worse and continue until there is nothing left to destroy in this country!
But the mob has spoken and we all need to fall to our knees and obey or there will be more of the BLM.
BURNING LOOTING MURDER
We have become a country of cowards.
“Juneteenth Eve”?
—
Time to swap MLK holiday with ‘Junteenth’?
“until love of virtue cease on earth,”
I guess we are there.
