Iconoclast movements are not new. In Constantinople it was the Government destroying statues, and the people protested against it.

Now it is the opposite.

Like a drunk on a tear, after it is done and they sober up ask themselves...”WHAT HAVE I DONE!”

“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,”

“Momee, that plaque is scaring me! Make that mean old plaque go away!”

“It makes parishioners feel unsafe? Now that I think about it, every time I drive on MLK Boulevard in any city I feel unsafe.”

This is an excellent observation! I personally experience the same reaction. Actually, I stick mostly to rural areas now days. Thanks to on-line shopping and FEDEX.

That’s a fine first step, but to be truly “welcoming,” they’ll need to change the name from “Christ Church” too.

Maybe they could just put "Mohammedans and LGBT's Welcome" on the church sign.

You assume our side will rise up en masse. I have my doubts.

Rush shared your concerns last week by noticing that the revolutionaries are in the streets and not a peep from the gun owners we brag so much about. (I am one and I am still home)

After the war, he spent a huge amount of his time and whatever fortune remained to him in trying to preach reconciliation and improve the lot of black people, particularly with regards to education, to prepare them to enter into American life as full participants.

Like the Constitution History is flexible and the past is never certain.

I think it’ll all end for these anarchists when they make a move on Mt Vernon and Monticello. Pete Hegseth said they were there to destroy monuments if they could. He was on duty with the National Guard last Sunday when they tried to burn down St John’s Church. He said if not for the National Guard who the mayor wants to run off, the fence around the White House could have very easily been breached and the White House was next. That would have meant deaths and most would have been the rioters. Hegseth was dead serious. He also said they were intent on destroying every monument in Washington, DC,

“These demonstrations brought out commies, libs and socialists all over the world.”

Yep.... and what these DUmmies don’t realize is they have exposed themselves for all to see.

Winning... doesn’t get old.
