Remember that these sculptures aren't just our history, they're our art.
The police stand down and let them riot, loot, burn and tear down statues, yet if we happen to shoot a couple of the subhuman filth, we go to prison.
I cannot stand this and do not want to see. Glad my parents to me to see so much history when I was young.
What happens when they try to destroy Mt. Rushmore?
Gov Noem will personally shoot them.
I’m glad my dad, who served with General Patton’s 3rd Army in Europe, isn’t around to see this happen to his country....
Unreal, isn’t it?
I admire sculptors and carvers, the only art forms where you have to subtract something to produce it. I don’t think my brain works that way.
Can you imagine the mind that looks at a block of stone and sees its heart?
You mean just because we got a sculpture of Trump up there?
I’m sure there’s all the Marx, Lenin and Stalin statues that came down in the Early Nineties that are still kicking around, that they can be replaced with. (rolls eyes)
It’s amazing to contemplate.
“Oh, I’m gonna make a man out of that marble hunk, no sweat.”
Bump
After I posted that I suddenly remembered SD actually has a real governor.
