Cleansing the Capitol of blemishes of American history could be a hard task.

As Democratic leaders threw their support Thursday behind a proposal to take down any statue connected with the Confederacy, President Trump wondered where they would draw the line.

Sen. Cory A. Booker, the New Jersey Democrat who called for culling the Confederacy, did not say what should be done about Richard Stockton, a slave owner who is one of his state’s contributions to the Capitol Collection.

The goal is to destroy everything and anything to do with our history.

So what chance does this actually have of receiving two-thirds in the House and Senate, with GOP majorities?

I'm honestly asking, because if anyone would cave, it's be Washington Republicans.

The need to start with the Democrat Party ... one of the biggest stains on America’s glorious history.

Did Jefferson have anything to say about separation of history and state?

NJ has a public university named after Stockton. They’re going to have to go after that, too. Oh, and every college, building, etc. named for any Confederate, slave owner or trader, etc. Tear it all down, pave it all over, and make the Lefturds celebrate for 5 min. (Before they move on to their next politically correct crusade).

“Not a difficult decision at all for them...total destruction of everything about our history.”....

Sounds very familiar, exactly what the “muslimes” are doing with historical sites of a Christian nature in the middle east. They think by destroying history things will change in their favor but are very badly mistaken. Personally, I hate those who are doing this here in America, more than I did those muslimes.

The Democrat party has been focused on destroying this nation for decades. They were full on Communists, but have now morphed into Islamists. Hey, the Republicans have joined in now.

This isn’t a big change in directions for them. It’s more like the natural progression of things.

What did we expect? There was no other path. This is it.

Next up all statues and monuments. Then everything else that had to do with our country being formed. Anything to do with the evil white man. Flags, currency, street names, building names. Flags, Constitution. Then kill off whitey.

Then being white will be a hate crime. It might even be right now. Oh songs, TV channels like TMC, Gone With Then Wind and movies like that must go. Bibles, Books. The list is endless and they have time. They are very patient. They have been teaching this in our schools for at least a decade.

WWII.

The evil white racist American military attacked the in-the-future muslim refugee haven of Germany and the peaceful Japanese people-of-color.

Totally white supremacist and white nationalist actions.

“When the Confederacy is cleansed what will their next target be ?”

Probably the U.S. Capitol building, parts of which were designed by Jefferson Davis before he became President of the Confederate States of America.

During Lincoln’s presidency, slaves - yes slaves - were used to construct the evil building.

If Democrats and fellow-travelers do destroy the Capitol building they will have accomplished what the 9-11 hijackers failed to do.

Nope, the left decided to rewrite WW2 instead of erasing it.

Now the hero of WW2 is Antifa who gallantly rid the world of the Nazi menace. Just as they’re protecting us from white supremacist Nazis and KKK’s to this very day!
