To put it delicately, Washington needs a good flushing out.
IMO the fitting celebration for this is local block parties and community events.
But if the Trump admin could give our ill-educated younger generations a better appreciation for their constitutional heritage and its value, that’d be great.
No NO and NO
Washington has plenty of points of interest. It also has gathered too much money from the citizens of the country.
I would propose the monument be somewhere in flyover country. Somewhere without significant tourist interest. Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota are good candidates.
Are we sure we want to offend and trigger the foreign invaders flooding our country illegally by placing OUR HISTORY where they have to see it? Come on America! We’re the suckers to the world! We need to be nice and kiss their butts. We should be honored that they picked America as the place to come if you want to live off the backs of the taxpayers.
SARC/
The Arch of Trump. Sounds great!
Sounds like a great idea to me.
If we start now, maybe it will be ready for the tricentennial.
Architecturally Washington D.C. needs to get away from its growing grandiosity and needs to even reduce some of what exists there as far as grandiose monuments to make political statements and create politically driven history impressions.
Why dont we go all out and copy Napoleon’s Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Eysees ???
“Traditional architecture.” You mean going back when racist white men ruled? I’m sure the left will object.
We are $37 Trillion Dollars in debt. Maybe we can build an arch after we pay off the national debt.
What triumph?
No, let’s not. If we do build an arch, chances are that it will be weird, woke and ugly, like most of what now passes for “art.”
While I agree in principle that something classicly grand and architecturally significant to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary needs to be erected, there are a few issues to be worked out. Foremost among them is the fact that if President Trump orders and completes it, the design will have to include a guard post and plans to have the site protected 24/7/365 by armed guards. Otherwise the BLM/ANTIFA/pink pussy hat legions of domestic terrorists will constantly desecrate the structure with their ugly obscene graffiti and odious physical presence.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Absolutely not. And I was sad to see hardly a mention of yesterday’s anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. Every day this year & next is a good opportunity to discuss the American Revolution & our history.
We don’t need arches, we need to educate our young people on what this country is all about.
