We’ll see how long Washington survives; as another FReeper pointed out, his face is on the flag of Washington state (as well as quarters, dollar bills).
George Washington was one of the largest slaveholders of his time. The largest, according to some studies that I’ve seen.
The cultural Left has already begun demanding that pre-Civil War slave owners such as Andrew Jackson be expunged from American history, and have managed to get dimwits like Glenn Beck to join them. So successful has been their campaign to equate the Old South with Nazism.
GOP fools like Nikki Haley think that this condemnation of American history will stop where they want it to and not spread all the way back to America’s founding. It won’t stop. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. There will be future Presidents in the Obama mold who have nothing but contempt for America and its history. The next one may well wear the Republican label.
