I know we’re all talking about Joe Biden’s speech in Pittsburgh, which once again showed that his mind has devolved into applesauce, along with the leftist riots that continue to engulf the nation, but we have new political correctness news. Apparently, a DC committee convened by Mayor Muriel Bowser has recommended that the Washington Monument, among other federal memorials in the city, should be marked for removal, relocation, or contextualization. No, you cannot make this up (via WaPo):
A committee reporting to D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser recommends renaming dozens of public schools, parks and government buildings in the nation’s capital, after studying the historical namesakes’ connections to slavery and oppression.
The honorees whom the committee says should not have public works named for them include presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson; Revolutionary leader Benjamin Franklin; inventor Alexander Graham Bell; and national anthem writer Francis Scott Key.
“We believe strongly that all District of Columbia owned public spaces, facilities and commemorative works should only honor those individuals who exemplified those values such as equity, opportunity and diversity that DC residents hold dear,” the committee’s chairs, Bowser advisor Beverly Perry and public library director Richard Reyes-Gavilan, wrote in a letter introducing their report.
This is not parody...
The Washington, DC government wants to remove the Washington monument. https://t.co/Uuyp3H9Ezs pic.twitter.com/SGhFwPkHYf— Nathan Brand (@NathanBrandWA) September 1, 2020
This is crap. Pure and simple. This is about the erasure of American history, so for all those folks who decided to sit out and let these clowns take down Confederate statues because these were bad, bad people, well, this was the only logical conclusion of that push. It was never about the Confederacy. This is about our history, our founding, and the Left’s prolonged attempt to wipe it away and rewrite it through an insane woke lens. And whether we like it or not, the Confederacy is part of American history. In fact, it’s a huge part, being that the civil war was probably one of the most moral conflicts this nation ever fought. Also, the Confederacy produced some of the finest military officers this nation ever produced.
But attacking them was just the first salvo with regards to their real target: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers.>
Isn’t that on national park property anyway?
These people are nothing if not the greatest deflection
experts of all time.
Paint the Washington Monument orange and “recontextualize” it as Trump’s Erection.
Hell No!
Trump needs to campaign in part on regaining control of the House and expanding control in the Senate - and cite this utter crap, this Marxist attempt to erase our history, as one of the primary reasons why. Even a lot of liberals think that the movement toward historical revisionism has gone too far, and this not only proves the point, but does so in spades.
How are they going to ‘remove’ it?
Sounds like a rather expensive job - in more ways than one.
People don’t come to DC to visit Bowser’s ‘committee’.
Dedication ceremony: Thousands of sign "Stand Up For Trump."
They will do anything to win the election! Don’t realize it will turn people away! But again the RATS are only looking forward POWER and nothing else! It is ashame their followers don’t understand this.
no
you dont get to erase history
washington was a massively great man
these people are communist agitators
Are we no longer in a liberal/conservative paradigm. There are now only pro American constitutionalists and anti-American Marxists.
Make this garbage STOP.
Why don’t they just change the name to the Karl Marx monument, save on demolition costs and acheive their goal. Two birds one stone.
Her very office is constitutionally suspect.
They have brought it to a point where it’s no longer acceptable for them to be in charge of things if they “win”. They are dangerous and incapable of running the country. Unfortunately, they are also evil and have been dumbing down Americans for decades with the help of the media and “education,” so we’re now at the point where half the country is too frigging stupid to realize what’s going on.
Sorry, leftists - we’re not going all commie on you, no matter WHAT you want.
And, by the way, Joe, there aren’t “at least three” sexes. Moron.
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Apparently you can.
How are they going to ‘remove’ it?
= = =
Call all the Dems (and maybe some Pubs) and get them inside the monument.
What reason? Maybe to ‘protect’ it from Trump (or) . . .
Or to climb to the top to be ‘superior’. (or)
Or to deficate in there as a response to White Geo. Washington (or)
fill in your crafted reason here ____
Then get AOC to lead them in a ‘wave’ ... swaying ...
Then, with some resonant vibrations: shazam, it falls over!
It would be worth it.
