Benjamin Franklin? But he campaigned against slavery. OK so he owned slaves when he was younger but holding that against him is like cancelling Rev John Newton who wrote “Amazing Grace” because he captained slave ships before his anti slavery awakening.

I’ve actually climbed to the top, and then walked all the way down. It seemed like a challenge, at the time.

I was in Jr. High School, and our class trip took us there. I guess I failed to consider that I was going out to a dance that night on my first formal ‘date’.

I’ve never been so sore and tired as I was the next day. But I had a lot of fun, and now great memories :-)

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
George Orwell, 1984“

I probably rode the elevator, at a mature age.

Note. Some of the windows were ‘off limits’, security was afraid Bush (#2 I think) was vulnerable to potential sniping while headed to his helo.

This should be enough to rescind home rule in the district of Columbia. Else, carve out the residential areas and give them back to the state of Maryland. Let them deal with these idiots.

I thought you wrote “defecation experts”. Sounds more appropriate.

Wait, wait!! There's still hope for the Washington Monument.

The press release said: "marked for removal, relocation, or contextualization..."

Yes! Start submitting ideas for "contextualization" that's acceptable to the Left.

How about a Pussy hat on the top?

Thomas Jefferson’s Liberty Tree must be purged at some point soon...

The DC “government” is unconstitutional and should cease to exist.

The phrase “in all cases whatsoever”, as applied to the power of Congress to legislate over a 10 x 10 mile district had deep meaning to the authors of Article I, since it was used to describe the right of Parliament to legislate for the colonies in what were called the Intolerable Acts.

“In all cases whatsoever” EXCLUDES subordinate or rival assemblies. Any pretended statute or rule emitted by the DC “government” that is not passed by both Houses of Congress and signed by the President is a nullity.

I only wish I could still do it. Now, my old bones have trouble with just four flights here, when the elevator goes out :-)

Next is the “White” House. That word is bound to offend someone.

I am surprised they havent been screaming bloody murder to bring down the Jefferson Davis monument in Fairview, Kentucky. It is 2/3 the height of the Washington Monument, 350 feet, and you can see that sucker from 8 miles away.

Only reason I can think is because it is so far out in the middle of absolute no where few people seem to be aware it even exists.

This bitch is a monster that must be stopped.

I have never been a racist, even after 8 long and painful years of Obama. It wasn’t until Obama came into the equation that I had any idea how much black people hate me. First came the “knockout game”, then daily hate speech and claims that everything I stood for made me a racist.

I no longer give a damn. There are many good and decent people that happen to be black...they would all be welcome in my home. But the rest of these lowlifes can KMA....perhaps that should be, KMWA.

I feel like we have been invaded and the enemy is trying to destroy my country and erase all memory of our past.

I love our president, but somehow he better figure it all out, and bring this attempt to destroy my country to an end....with or without blood letting. He better stop it dead in its tracks and do it soon.

I am the kind of guy that will toss a spider out a window instead of smashing it. I don’t want us to devolve into a civil war, but if we must, then so be it.....

I pray that we hold the Senate and take back the House to better arm President Trump, he needs the help....he needs OUR help.

Signed, Almost A Racist.
