But for a very few....the elite in American business, politics, or whatever; are self-loathing fools. I’m also convinced do to the demographic nightmare of importing over 40 million LEGAL immigrants from the third world since 1965 American voters are simply just being replaced.

Let me see if I can properly say this: One whack job kills 9 in a Christian church. Immediately, there is nationwide urging of taking down civil war flags, statues, etc.

20 whack jobs kill 2,977 people in a couple hours, and we’re urged by those same leaders to show respect to those who did it to us...

Perhaps my math is really wrong here, but if 9 dead result in a nation wide striking of flags and images, shouldn’t 333 times that number result in there not being an Islamic mosque still standing anywhere in North America?

Lastly, I refuse to let bigots seize my heritage and use it as their blanket and shield. I refuse to give into ANY bigots, on both sides of the issue. The flag didn’t kill people, the whack job did. And they dishonor the dead by using their bodies to further their own agenda - par for the course for liberals, of course.

“i will never vote for another Bush. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me”

In this context, it’s more like “Fool me once ... uh ... we won’t get fooled again.”

I can't see why anyone would be surprised by this, when Mitch was reelected he sold out America, now he's focusing on a region.

Getting to where I detest ALL politicians.

Do me a favor, everyone. Please, let’s none of us, and I mean NONE of us, ever suggest again that this walking talking (insert swear word here) needs to be re-elected.

They’ll go Taliban on it with howitzers.

But first some do-gooder will repel down the mountain and deface it.

No more holding your nose and voting for the lesser of evils. GOP is going nowhere fast, they are circling the drain now....always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Museums are for crap that no longer has a functioning purpose. The confederate flag still shows that the need for an uprising of the stated from federal tyranny. Why don’t all the politicicians just shut the hell up and do their constitutional duties. Stupid idiots.

Maybe the United States should just remove all the Southern States from the Union.

Did someone say that Matt Bevan is also against the Davis statue and the Confederate flag? If so, he won’t get far.

> Agreed. This is a lead up to something much bigger. The fact that the Republicans are in on it signals to me that something much bigger than we understand is at play.

Ever since the 08 elections, the "impossible" has been constantly happening.

A junior senator who should have never even have made it to the primaries wins the presidency the first time, then does it again with the worst economy since the great depression, and in both cases his "opponent" held back all of the venom they unleashed on their primary opponents.

Then the house and senate gleefully give up various powers which they have jealously fought over prior to this guy showing up, defying human nature.

Methinks this is all a scripted plan as a final death-blow to our republic.

Kentuckians to Mitch - Lose yourself down some deep abyss, you feeble-minded, faithless, treasonous jackass.

Yes, they desire to ban everything American, and legalize everything hostile to America - such as sodomite “marriage.” Up is down, down is up - left is right, right is left - sweet is sour, sour is sweet, good is evil and evil is good ... Interesting times we live in.

I also agree, but would add a few other thoughts to it, I am shocked at all the people that jumped in and followed them into this Flag thing, and now the Statues, some will join that also, highways, well the flag now these oh yeah that also. So when they come for the guns or turn your neighbor in or or or or?? What will it be. There is a picture they put on here occasional with all the people following right into a hole. Well look what happened on here over the flag, or the bikers. They came for the Flag I hated that flag so oh well, they came for the statues but I don’t like statues. Were probably going to have to leave the boy in the White House because someone will be upset, America wake up if its not to late.

May I make an unrelated comment?

The sculpture is very good. Look at the slightly exaggerated hand and head; the excellent placement of the feet, the size of the niche just right to make him look small but unsurmountable. It tells a story: a fake story, perhaps, given the subj, but it does tell a certain story wonderfully.

Lenin’s statues, by the same token, are abominable because Lenin was abominable, but they are also the art’s garbage. Not a single one amounts to anything aesthetically.
