“Ribbit!”
No matter what, the contents of the so-called time capsule will be deemed racist
My first laugh of the day. Thank you!
Maybe they will find a noose inside.
The message will read ...
“If you are reading this your society has decayed beyond recovery. Put that statue back up !!”
Quote of the day!!
Most of the civil war statues that you see in all of these little towns were put up close to the turn of the century, 30-
40-50 years after the war.
It makes sense when you think that these weren’t put up by the civil war veterans, but instead, by their children. The guys coming back from that war weren’t really interested on a lot of commemoration of that bloody nightmare.
I would be neat if somebody dressed up a few zombie-looking skeletons in tattered Confederate uniforms and rusty sabers to do a “ghost” photo op near where the monument had been.
Follow it up with a fake story of several Antifa from New England being found decapitated, with parts of their bodies eaten. The remains smelling strongly of sulfur. But “the authorities” are denying that anything happened.
“The governor cited public safety in issuing his order June 20, hours after protesters toppled two bronze statues of soldiers from the base of the tallest Confederate statue.”
Public safety had nothing to do with it.That Governor was a coward who refused to do his duty to protect the people and the state from Criminal activity.
That was a major shocker scene at the end of the movie the first time I saw the film! It actually pulled everything together that occurred previously in the film.
And almost none of those 40,000 had any connection to slave-owning.
I hope it is a curse on the Left.
I mean a real Biblical curse: Raining frogs, plagues of locusts, rivers turning into blood, cats and dogs living together!
Yes very sad, these a*sholes are no difference than the Taliban, maybe worse for lots of reasons.
Statues are the highest form of art. They display our intelligence. They are a sign of a lasting civilization. A reminder of what trials our forefathers went thru to build this imperfect nation. And, much like Historic Register homes, a reflection of what we looked like at given times in history.
They are community. A sense of belonging that can never be filled with flat art of a gallery. Or grainy photographs that can’t be touched. Knowing that thousands of hands just like yours over a hundred years have touched the same smooth sculpture, the intricate carvings and castings. Photographed and painted a thousand times in attempts to capture the essence that can only really be felt in person.
They are our living history as much as Stonehenge or Easter Island or the ‘mounds’ of Iowa and Ohio. Of course we wouldn’t destroy such ancient treasures, but are they any more important than more modest modern tributes to civilization? Or are they equally important? The maturity of thought that a statue reflects could never be replicated in a generic monolith of names that be struck off willy nilly as the latest moralist trend arises. It’s a lesson we once knew.
“Generic monuments to war dead with names seem to be a better way for people to “remember.” “
Good point.
Do we need to go and tear down all these people’s grave stones too? Don’t give them any ideas.
Don’t worry the statue of Obama they will put up in its place will not stand for 125 years. The truth will come out in time.
I despise these history destroyers.
And a Republican kicked this craze off, Nimrata Randhawa.
What issue of 'public safety', Governor? And what part of the public is their 'safety' of concern to you? You grovelling pussy.
