Pete Buttigieg wants Thomas Jefferson events and buildings renamed

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg called for everything honoring Thomas Jefferson to be renamed.

“Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said in a Friday radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt.

“There’s a lot, of course, to admire in his thinking and his philosophy,” Buttigieg said of the author of the Declaration of Independence and the nation’s third president.

“But then again, if you plunge into his writings, especially the ‘Notes on the State of Virginia,’ you know that he knew slavery was wrong. And yet he did it,” he explained.

Yes, slavery was left over from the British Empire and there was little or nothing the American government could do about it at first. But liberals like to judge others based on situations they know nothing about.

“Pete Buttigieg wants Thomas Jefferson events and buildings renamed”

“The Little Guy With Little Ideas!” could be a great campaign slogan for buttigigity ...

Trump has the Dims cross-eyed over his success with blacks. You can see it in the pandering that they all do. For a homo to think he’s gonna win back blacks is too funny for words.

I don’t remember where I saw it, but last week there was an article reporting that Buttigieg was polling poorly among blacks.

The overwhelming majority of blacks are appropriately repulsed by overt faggotry.

“This country is going down fast”

I’ve posted for years that the demographic shift here is occurring faster than most people realize - and faster than the media would ever let you know. Years ago they told us more white people were dying every day than being born; it is not just a natural diminishing, but the hordes we import to replace them couldn’t care less about Thomas Jefferson - or any of the Founding Fathers.

They will demagogue the issue, because we’ve reached a critical mass of people who are unable to think...

* * *

Freedom, you “woke” me to the cause of this critical mass of idiocy.

Thinking usually reading words on the printed or electronic page and “translating” those words into ideas in the brain. It takes work to do that, which is why a minority of people actually did that on a regular basis.

But in a video and Facebook culture, you never have to read a book. You simply listen to the stream of video propaganda and let that pass (without thinking) into your skull where it remains as indoctrination — because it was never really critically examined for its veracity.

If Stalin and Lenin had our current video media, the whole world would be communist right now. And if things are not corrected soon, then we only have another 20 years before the propaganda will permanently destroy civil society.

It’s a shame, the Democrats hate this country so much that they would destroy it just to make a little money off others.

These ridiculous leftist calls to rename landmarks, events, etc. are right out of the USSR playbook.

Both parties are completely focused on short-terms gains & gimmicks; only the nationalists seem focused on anything more than five years out.
