There are none. They live for the moment. Nothing is sacred to them but their immediate appetites.

I can think of several.
Oh, great. Now that Vietnam is moving towards capitalism, the communists must be getting uncomfortable there, so they're coming here to bring their poison to the refuge of the Vietnamese Boat People who fled for their lives from the communists years before.
loan and their family ultimately made home in the U.S South where they feel deeply and spiritually connected to the sacred legacies of survival, resistance, beauty and creation of this region.
..and she's a liar...
I was going to say that if no one else did. Some of the founders owned slaves. Those will be the next statues they will demand the removal of, and next of course comes the Republic itself, since it was founded by these reprobates.
So we’re letting sodomites destroy our historical monuments?
That stupid knotted gun sculpture in front of the UN comes to mind.
Other than that it’s usually difficult to tell the difference between liberal art and random assortments of trash.
Stone Mountain next. It will take awhile.
I am absolutely baffled by some conservatives’ support of confederate flags/statues. We have a flag. We don’t fly Tory Loyalist flags. We don’t fight over statues of Benedict Arnold or King George. It is extremely difficult to come to an objective opinion that support for that crap is not racist.
Time for the Lenin statue in Portland to be destroyed.
The average Confederate soldier was not a mass murderer.
Hennepin County Minnesota Flag removed from city hall. Antifa flag now flying. This is out of hand!!
What is going to happen when they find out there are many towns,cities and counties in Texas named for CSA veterans?
So were letting sodomites destroy our historical monuments?
Even worse. Paid agitator working for “non profit” homos. Presumably paid for by Soros or Tides Foundation, etc.
I’m sure Tram remembers the hidtory of the many Vietnamese soldiers fighting under the union standard in the 1860’s. /Sarc off
I think it was only 2006 or 2009 that the Democrats finally started to give up their Andrew Jackson dinners.
Those people bear a strong resemblance to the Taliban.
CNN wants America to burn if that’s the case.
Yup. And somewhere down the line the two slave owners and one colonial/imperialist on Rushmore will have to be dynamited off.
