Heavy machinery lifted a statue of Robert E. Lee in Market Street Park from its stone base around 8 a.m.

Yep. Just a bit more subtle, but they’re all one and the same.

A bunch of stupid leftist sheep clapped and cheered like the trained seals they are.

My daughter is one of 6 known conservatives living in Charlottesville, better known as Berkeley East.

So how’s the replacement Mao and Stalin statues look?
Somewhere in NYC is an apartment building with a statue of Lenin on the roof. If I went by it, yeah I'd be a bit perturbed but my inner smartass would be inclined to move in and squat, demanding the owners let me live there rent free, you know, like, SHARE THE LAND, man.

VA needs to give up its statehood and start sending out those reparation checks.

Both "heroes" seem to be sad looking as they gaze at the center statue of George Floyd, his angel wings folded slightly inward.

LOL....... Hey send one my way.

Life goes on, history changes/repeats, rulers come/go and
society adapts, makes changes. We live our short span on
earth and others take up for their short span. So be it. Mine
is approaching its end.

Hmmm
