Washington too! Let’s see them ask about that.
Yes, let’s tear down the Jefferson Memorial and replace it with the Sharpton Memorial roll-off dumpster. How completely sick.
streets named for MLK are offensive
Look at the bright side. If this goes far enough, we will wipe out memorials to pretty much every pre-1960s Democrat politician, including Al Gore’s daddy.
I would ask, instead, should CNN be removed for their proven history of being fools, liberals and progressives who oppose all things American. Let the deportation process begin.
In a related report...an ISIS spokesweasel advised his organization is willing to demolish the Jefferson Memorial free of charge, as long as it is televised live.
Better get rid of Franklin Roosevelt stuff as he was an adamant opponent of Gays.
Of course it should!

Washington, Jackson and Jefferson off of paper currency!
Change Washington to 0bamatown.
I lived in China two decades after the start of their Cultural Revolution, but the effect was obvious.
America is going through a similar leftist, politically-inspired cultural revolution, where we tear down everything old, everything traditional, for the sake of leftist political goals. Ours is just more drawn out, and our red guards are not as active beating people up or smashing things.
Has anyone else noticed that the focus has faded from the horrific act which triggered all this, the mass shooting in the church??
Where is the endless talk of gun control and what about guns and all that, which we talked about after previous mass shootings? Instead, in this case, it triggered this huge debate about the Confederate flag. But lost in the blathering by politicians and talking heads on cable news shows, is the shooting and any remorse for the victims.
This is Saul Alinksy horse blank. Never let a crisis go to waste. The liberal left has jumped all over this case to use it to do away with the Confederate flag.
Hell, why not dig up all the Rebels and any identifying grave of anyone that existed before 1865 and dump them in a landfill. After all, they all existed at the same time slavery did so they must be guilty of something.
And yet, all those who protest are carrying around the image of a slave owner who offered rewards for return of slaves and even a bonus if they were whipped ... The $20 bill. Where does it end?
Lincoln believed that also, and stated it in public in the Lincoln / Douglas debates. -Tom
It’s easy to understand the left’s attempt to shove Jefferson down the memory hole. Jefferson’s principles offend them greatly:
“When we
get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .”
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.”
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
