Activists prepare to storm DC in Independence Day weekend protests
Washington Examiner ^ | July 3, 2020 | Nicholas Rowan

Protesters plan to storm Washington, D.C., over Independence Day weekend with protests and demonstrations.

Activists in the most high profile of these events plan to protest the Emancipation Memorial in Lincoln Park. The memorial, which leaders of the local collective the Freedom Neighborhood claimed they would topple last week, has become a subject of national interest, with many people making a case both for and against the statue. Glenn Foster, the leader of the Freedom Neighborhood, has promoted multiple protests against the memorial set for the days surrounding the July 4 weekend. In some of his material, he celebrated the fact that on Tuesday the Boston Arts Commission voted to remove an identical copy of the statue, which depicts President Abraham Lincoln freeing the slave Archer Alexander, from public display.

I remember when Jane Fonda said "she was coming back" to Washington DC for a protest; anti-war moonbats threatened to vandalize the Vietnam war memorial.

Gathering Of Eagles formed and organized a counter-protest. Reading the report, the best part I remember was the moonbat march bottle-necked going over a bridge.

A huge banner over the bridge said "Go to hell, you traitors!"

Jane Fonda decided not to come back after all at that time and didn't make it to that particular march.

not by their choice.

Minor quibble: it IS by their choice. They reject everything we have to tell them because it conflicts with their indoctrination.

But it is still their choice, especially to not think.

Imagine if the Democrats hadn’t put up the two most unelectable candidates in back to back elections. This country would be in an incredible economic wave of historical size right now.

The election of Lincoln and the potential end of the democrat control of slavery WAS the cause of the war. No union troops had even been mobilized when SC seceded and fired the first shot. Stop being delusional.

Democrats were the KKK, the White Citizen’s Councils and the people who stood in the school house door...

Republicans freed the slaves... Democrats owned them.

This Glenn Foster douchebag is a Harvard student, meaning, he [and his misnamed group “Freedom Neighborhood”] is probably the ideological spawn of a certain communist jackass professor who thankfully left this mortal coil in 2019.

He was physically shoving reporters around and rudely cussing like a sailor in people’s faces.

Read this, it shows what a fraud the guy is, needing whites to be human shields for his supposed black activism: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/toppling-attempt-led-by-harvard-student-ends-after-confrontation-with-statue-defenders

How ironic that the first and only race to recognize the inherent evil of human chattel and fight to eliminate it across the globe, is the one demonized as the sole perpetrator - even as it continues in other cultures to the present day.

The boys at the Citadel had to have something to shoot at, and some provocation to make them do so.

“”I used to be a live and let live kind of guy. I am now truly beginning to Hate these people””

For those of us who were color blind long before MLK’s speech, are now finding ourselves with thoughts we never had before.

Which is precisely the reaction they want.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a showdown on the 4th? The lowlifes who want to eliminate this country against the ones who love it?
