If the Left takes follows the course of its own logic, then there’s one landmark they should want to blow up ASAP — besides Stone Mountain.
It’s Mount Rushmore.
All four presidents carved into stone on the mountain would be called white supremacists today. So it would make sense for our progressive nation to wipe them from the face of the landmark.
Let’s start with Washington. He owned slaves. He approved the Naturalization Act of 1790 that restricted citizenship to “free white men.” He also earned the nickname “Town Destroyer” from the Iroquois for he fought against Indian tribes.
Jefferson has a more damning record, according to the Left. He also owned slaves and is widely believed to have had a relationship with one of the women he kept as property. That relationship is considered by many liberals to have amounted to rape.
Besides his personal behavior, the third president considered blacks were inherently inferior to whites. Jefferson also opposed granting citizenship to African-Americans and thought that America couldn’t survive as a multiracial democracy.
Additionally, he described Native Americans as “merciless Indian savages” in the Declaration.

It’s as plain as the nose on your face....
Sanford Horwitt prefaces his biography of Alinsky, “Let Them Call Me Rebel”, with an anecdote he felt illuminated Alinsky’s method. In this anecdote, Alinsky shares his wisdom with students wishing to protest the appearance on their campus of the first George Bush, then America’s representative to the UN during the Vietnam War:
College student activists in the 1960s and 1970s sought out Alinsky for advice about tactics and strategy. On one such occasion in the spring of 1972 at Tulane University’s annual week-long series of events featuring leading public figures, students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest for a scheduled speech by George Bush, then U. S. representative to the United Nations, a speech likely to be a defense of the Nixon Administrations’s Vietnam War policies The students told Alinsky that they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush’s address. That’s the wrong approach, he rejoined–not very relative and besides, causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go hear the speech dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards, reading ‘The K.K.K. supports Bush.’ And that is what the students did with very successful, attention-getting results.
Confiscate ALL copies of the book "Gone with the Wind".. burn ALL copies of the movie itself,, and renounce Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh for portraying Southerners who were associated with the idea of slave plantations.
After we cleanse the Civil War from our history then we can start in on Auschwitz and the Nazi era of Jewish extermination. Remove all memory of "Schindler's List."
Far too many LIBERAL Americans are "lost" and wandering in the desert.
The four presidents should be Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Reagan.... Just sayin’
Referenced in the opening sentence.
I hate when things are added after I’ve read them.
It’s like when I sing along with old songs and find out they’ve changed the words.
You went to Stone Mountain GA, and never once looked up? Too much navel gazing going on down there!
All intellectually honest libs (oxymoron right?) should disavow cotton, which after all, was slavery’s fruit. Any leftist wearing cotton clothing, using cotton cleaning pads, washcloths, towels, bandages, tampons, etc. should clearly forego usage and find slavery heritage free alternatives. Oh, and that cotton fiber US currency? They can send it all to me to ensure proper disposal.
I hope not, but nothing they say or do surprises me. Their hatred for us runs deep.
That Georgia sun is blood red and going down....
This reminds me of what the Taliban did to the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan.
Well maybe, but blacks weren’t the slaves of the Bible.
I’ll donate my Mount Rushmore snow globe.
Let them blow it up instead.
