Robert E. Lee Memorial in Brooklyn to Be Taken Down

New York Post ^ | August 15, 20 | Chris Perez

The South isn’t the only place where Confederate monuments still exist.

New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.

It won’t remain there for long, though.

These historical monuments have been tagged as “triggers.”

Just like on a college campus, Leftists define the triggers so they can enforce the words and thoughts that are permitted. It is all about control. They enforce it with violence.

“One of the well known activities in genocide is activity designed to erase a people or culture completely.
These people are genocidal and must never be allowed to gain power.”

They know that which is why they’re trying to bring this country to crisis. Agitating for a lawless solution to their Trump problem. It’s now or never for the left. They’re going all in...

I tend to veer away from “Stalinist” because it becomes so Communist centric. (Centric is not a valid word, but it works for me here. I think of it as Communist “focused”.

We grew up in a time when Communism was the buggy-man. Many of us are still caught up in that mindset. That’s not particularly bad, but I do want people to think in terms of purges, singling people and movements out for elimination.

While Stalin and his movement did this, I think folks can identify with Hitler and his purges better.

Hitler’s followers singled a number of peoples out and sought to exterminate them.

That’s what we’re facing if we don’t get this back under control.

The sad thing is, this is zooming right past the folks in control. I don’t think the Trump team even sees this on the radar.

They need to get up to speed and start going after Soros and the seditious people he is financing.

This is moving toward the point of no return. The press is playing along, and nobody is fighting back in government circles.

They have to soon.

Look at the atmosphere concerning Whites at our universities. It’s almost Hitlarian. This has got to be confronted.

Sessions should be all over this by now.

[DoughtyOne]

Can’t argue with that.

We are in serious trouble.

[JohnyBoy]

>When you have the GOPe throwing in with the likes of ANTIFA in hopes of damaging or removing Trump somehow...we’re up sh!t creek already.

Trump was going to have to destroy them sooner or later. I guess the fight starts now.

We should launch a campaign to shame them for supporting Communists Antifa. Ronald Reagan would be rolling over in his grave to year anyone in the GOP sticking up Commies.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They will be digging up my relative’s graves next. Regardless if I agreed them or not. Also had a relative who hid from the Trail of Tears.

Is Woodrow Wilson to be dropped down the memory hole?

ISIS in Brooklyn.

Seriously, this is totally #d up.

I grew up accepting the fact we’ve had a spotty history — that the Blacks, Irish, & Chinese were enslaved and/or exploited for industrial gain. But we’ve also fought against ourselves to correct these wrongs — corrections defined by the Documents of our Founding Fathers.

We grew up with jive, jews, ginnies, chinks, japs, mics, poles... you name it — it didn’t matter — we all had our dignity — we all had a sense of humor...

But here we are now with spoiled, petulant scumbags disassembling our history to satisfy their communistic arrogance.

[Gene Eric]

You have many allies in NY/NYC.

Apparently you are unaware that most of what we're up against today is indeed the product of communists. From the organizers of the (anti-police) Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump movements to the assault on nearly every aspect of traditional American culture. In fact, they've gotten so powerful and influential in *recent* times that they actually managed to grab the White House -- for 8 long years.

[Yosemitest]

Maybe it's time to GORE the LEFT's ox !

Banning the Confederate flag is all the rage these days as leftists have brainwashed the public into claiming
that flag had something to do with the Charleston shoot.
Since we’re banning ‘controversial’ stuff, why not ban all images, name prints and statues of Democrat KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd ?
Of course you never hear a peep of the old KKK racist Robert Byrd.
He was Democrat majority leader of the Senate before he went senile, and even has his statue in the halls of Congress.
The KKK Democrat Robert Byrd lasted as Democrat Senator for over 50 years, and voted against the civil-rights-act like a typical Democrat.
What’s more offensive ?
A KKK Grand Kleagle like Democrat Robert Byrd,
or a Confederate flag that was on top of the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard ?
Petitioning West Virginia Governor : To remove the name of the late Senator and Ku Klux Klan member Robert Byrd from the public space, road ways and government buildings (including schools).

What’s that you hear from leftist Democrats?
That’s called silence.
Democrats have the proud distinction of having the only known KKK Grand Kleagle in the Senate for over 50 years.
Democrats even voted Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd as their leader in the Senate for more than two decades.
Kleagle Robert Byrd was Democrat whip and leader in the ’70s and ’80s.

NYC... a city that gave Castro a hero’s welcome

"Rangel is an avowed admirer of the former Cuban President Fidel Castro. In April 1993, the congressman introduced legislation to repeal the Cuban Democracy Act of 1992, which ended U.S. assistance to the Castro government, and to lift the American embargo against Cuba.

When Castro toured Harlem in October of 1995, Rangel greeted him with a bear hug at an event in a local church, where the congressman joined in a prolonged standing ovation for the visiting dictator."

Excellent point.

The Democrats made him leader of the Senate!
They referred to him as the 'conscience of the Senate'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In 1942, 24-year-old Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), whose parades in Matoaka, West Virginia, he had witnessed in his childhood. He was unanimously elected Exalted Cyclops, or leader, of his local chapter.[8]

Byrd, in his autobiography, attributed the beginnings of his political career to this incident, although he lamented that they involved the Klan.

According to Byrd, a KKK official told him "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd recalls that "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4]

He participated in the KKK during World War II, holding the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops [the top officer in the local Klan unit]. He did not serve in the military during the war, working instead as a welder in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard, where he helped build warships.[citation needed]

Byrd commented on the 1945 controversy about racially integrating the military. Byrd, when he was 28 years old, wrote to segregationist Senator Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, vowing never to serve in such a military:

"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.[5]"

He had earlier written "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side".[6][7]

From the Washington Post:

"Byrd said in the Dec. 11, 1945, letter -- which would not become public for 42 more years with the publication of a book on blacks in the military during World War II by author Graham Smith -- that he would never fight in the armed forces "with a Negro by my side." Byrd added that, "Rather I should die a thousand times, and see old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.."..."

"during the general election campaign, Byrd's GOP opponent uncovered a letter Byrd had handwritten to Green, the KKK Imperial Wizard, recommending a friend as a Kleagle and urging promotion of the Klan throughout the country. The letter was dated 1946 -- long after the time Byrd claimed he had lost interest in the Klan. "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia," Byrd wrote, according to newspaper accounts of that period. Byrd makes no mention of the letter in his new book."

Clinton says in the video that Senator Byrd was her ‘mentor’ and that he was the heart and soul of the Senate

Sen. Byrd warned: "There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much.

[Yosemitest]

I guess we should remove any references to :

Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren (anti-abolitionist), James K. Polk (slavery compromiser), and Stephen A. Douglas (slavery fence-sitter)

will have to be removed by those FASCISTS, also.
After all, they either owned slaves, or defended slave owners.

What ?
They're DemocRATS and you don't want to touch them ?

What about William Jefferson Clinton, because he DEFENDED the Ku Klux Klan and Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd ?
Doesn't any reference to him have to be removed also ?

I guess we got to be equal to all about this matter, and apply this nonsense equally.< /sarc>

[Texas Songwriter]

Did not bill clinton say his mentor was racist democrat Bill Fullbright who voted against the 64 civil rights act? Should bill be expunged from the historical record?

[TTFlyer]

In America queers, Islamists, Communists, Socialists, illegal aliens, and the other dregs of society call the tune the majority must dance to.

“Land Of The Free - Home Of The Brave” is just so much bull*hit.

[JohnyBoy]

Screw the alt-left and their degenerate minions.

[Rapscallion]

It won’t remain there for long, though.

I am sure you are right.

One step in the progressive agenda to destroy America is to help us abandon and forget our heritage.

Today's disrespect of our history, lack of historical education, and elimination of memorials and statues commemorating our heritage are mere first steps.

[windsorknot]

More fascism from the Alt-Left Goon Squad.
