CNN needs to “come down”.
This terrorist organization, Purveyor of Fake News needs to be dismantled and sent to North Korea.
This is beginning to sound a bit like the French revolution. How long before they start executing each other?
CNN commentator Angela Rye did exactly that. “We have to get to the heart of the problem here . . .
Yes, indeedy . . the “heart of the problem” is stautes of dead white guys. Not your childish rationalizations and mental health issues
A revolution is under way and the targets are Western Civilization and those who built it.
As a shrinking percentage of the total U.S. population (down to 13% or so what with killing their babies and their young men killing each other, and with the influx of millions of illegal aliens who are counted by the Left as part of the U.S. population), black Americans sure make a lot of noise and get a lot attention ... much more than is deserved when they advocate destroying American culture by destroying our history.
I think everyone needs to tear down their AT&T subscriptions.
Was slavery illegal back in those days?
If they take down Washington, I’m in for whatever follows.
There has to be some line in the sand.
I feel the same way about Jefferson.
Screw these assholes!
Then all mosques need to be torn down and Islam outlawed and all muzzies deported. I mean if we’re going to purify let’s do it properly.
(I think I’d actually trade all of the statutes for the deportation of all of the muzzies.)
And once again Trump was 100% right.
Good God! This country has gone absolutely mad. Political correctness to the point where we can’t even have a history. These idiots live in a world where they think that tearing down statues is going to rewrite history, good and bad. Idiots...absolute idiots. Go ahead, stick your head in the sand, ignore the lessons that history teaches us so we can repeat them all over again. Unbelievable that these lunatics are even getting air time.
Try it sweetheart. Please....
With a little help from their friends!
It’s not about statues. They talk “statues” but mean the foundation of this country. They mean that we should tear up the Constitution and destroy the country, and then build it up again as a totalitarian marxist collectivity.
F*ck them. Ask me what I think.
After all the “offensive” statues and memorials are taken down, books with “offensive” material in them will be burned and replaced by approved propaganda. And ONLY the liberals will get to decide what is offensive.
Of special interest in that regard is Jefferson's “Autobiography,” especially that portion which states:
"The first establishment in Virginia which became permanent was made in 1607. I have found no mention of negroes in the colony until about 1650. The first brought here as slaves were by a Dutch ship; after which the English commenced the trade and continued it until the revolutionary war. That suspended...their future importation for the present, and the business of the war pressing constantly on the (Virginia) legislature, this subject was not acted on finally until the year 1778, when I brought a bill to prevent their further importation. This passed without opposition, leaving to future efforts its final eradication."
Jefferson also observed:
"Where the disease [slavery] is most deeply seated, there it will be slowest in eradication. In the northern States, it was merely superficial and easily corrected. In the southern, it is incorporated with the whole system and requires time, patience, and perseverance in the curative process."
He explained that, "In 1769, I became a member of the legislature by the choice of the county in which I live [Albemarle County, Virginia], and so continued until it was closed by the Revolution. I made one effort in that body for the permission of the emancipation of slaves, which was rejected: and indeed, during the regal [crown] government, nothing [like this] could expect success."
Here is another quotation, cited in David Barton's work on the subject of the Founders and slavery, which also cites the fact that there were laws in the State of Virginia which prevented citizens from emancipating slaves:
"The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this and learn to imitate it; for man is an imitative animal. This quality is the germ of all education in him. From his cradle to his grave he is learning to do what he sees others do. If a parent could find no motive either in his philanthropy or his self-love for restraining the intemperance of passion towards his slave, it should always be a sufficient one that his child is present. But generally it is not sufficient. . . . The man must be a prodigy who can retain his manners and morals undepraved by such circumstances. And with what execration should the statesman be loaded who permits one half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other. . . . And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep for ever. . . . The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest. . . . [T]he way, I hone [is] preparing under the auspices of Heaven for a total emancipation."
A visit to David Barton’s web site (www.wallbuilders.com) provides an essential, excellent and factual written record of the Founders' views on the matter of slavery. One source he does not quote, I believe, is the famous 1775 Edmund Burke "Speech on Conciliation" before the British Parliament, wherein he admonished the Parliament for its Proposal to declare a general enfranchisement of the slaves in America.
Burke rather sarcastically observed that should the Parliament carry through with the Proposal before it: "Slaves as these unfortunate black people are, and dull as all men are from slavery, must they not a little suspect the offer of freedom from that very nation (England) which has sold them to their present masters? from that nation, one of whose causes of quarrel with those masters is their refusal to deal any more in that inhuman traffic?"
He continued: "An offer of freedom from England would come rather oddly, shipped to them in an African vessel, which is refused an entry into the ports of Virginia or Carolina, with a cargo of three hundred Angola negroes. It would be curious to see the Guinea captain attempting at the same instant to publish his proclamation of liberty and to advertise his sale of slaves."
Ahhh, how knowledge of the facts can alter one's opinion of the revisionist history that has been taught for generations in American schools (including its so-called "law schools"!!)
Human beings are allotted ONLY A TINY SLIVER OF TIME ON THIS EARTH. (Pardon shouting) Each finds the world and his/her own community/nation existing as it is.
If lawyers and judges cared enough to educate themselves (in this day of the Internet) on the history of civilization and America's real history, and if they used that knowledge and the resulting understanding, to do as much on behalf of liberty for ALL people as did Thomas Jefferson and America's other Founders, the world in the next century would be a better place.
Remember, Thomas Jefferson was only 33 years old when he penned our Declaration of Independence which capsulized a truly revolutionary idea into a simple statement that survives to this day to inspire people all over the world to strive for liberty!
The KKK Was the Terrorist Arm of the Democratic Party
Yeah, but what about George Jefferson statues?
