“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

― George Orwell, 1984

muslims sold slaves for hundreds of years. Where is the media outrage on that bit of history?

Think about what the next step is. As Laura Ingraham said on her show yesterday, today it is statues... The Stalinists are on the march.

Another nail in the democrat coffin. they think this plays well in the swing states with working blue collar workers they lost in places like PA MI and WI?

THE SJW and BLM antics already hurt them enough but here they keep pushing and pushing.

Last night right before bedtime I told my wife the photographer that she should get down into the city to shoot the Confederate monuments before the moronic Baltimore City Council votes to tear them down. Well, the cretins did it in the middle of the night. What else would you expect from a city that gloried a piss-ant nickle-bag smack dealer named Freddie Gray and gave his fambly $6.4M for their suffering (and to feed the mamma’s heroin addiction)?

How is that relevant to Baltimore, a city in the North? No need to answer, we all know you have no point and nothing to add.

I just retired down to SW Florida and live in Lee County. The county was named for Robert E. Lee. They are going to go after his statue and portrait next. The city council has been meeting on it. I left Jersey to escape this crap. We are being marginalized by leftist radicals in our own country. I don’t see this ending well at all.

It’s hard to fathom the lack of strength and determination to stand for our country in these times. Weak men who are in charge and are placating the loud anti American voices... destroying our history... denying our history... for the sake of satisfying the deranged ignorant few.

Where are the men who know how to be the strong foundation for our republic ... for our youth .... to save our land from the destruction the hate filled ignorant idiots demand.

Are we leaders? or are we just weak followers?

We elected a strong man... and the weak ignorant followers are trying to destroy him!!

Great Orwell quote.

Your legacy, my legacy, all is being taken away from us.
Then they laugh at us. Remove our rights from us. Laugh at us some more.

And there is nothing we can do. Nothing.

At what point are we allowed to start killing some of these sons of bitches?

The progressive /communists do this kind of thing in the middle of the night all the time.

I recall a number of years ago the ruler of Chicago Mayor Daily, bulldozed Meigs Field in the middle of the night much like Baltimore. It was never used as an airport again.

This is what communists do.
