ISIS loves to destroy this stuff also ,maybe they could hire some ISIS freaks to Blow It Up , D’oh
And, like ISIS and the Taliban, just place a few hundred sticks of dynamite cored into the side of the mountain and let it blow. While we’re at it, let’s just destroy all of American history and make these revisionists and self-loathing America haters happy happy happy.

Time for civil disobedience.
The perpetually outraged 10-13% of the population trying to take the rights of everyone else. What else is new?
MLK Jr was not a Republican. That’s been debunked here countless times.
