Yes....now you know how we Southerners feel.
My hometown is full of Civil War statues....Northern/Southern

A small town elsewhere I have adopted has a statue ...one statue.....absolutely guarded 24/7 by the town!!!!!!I mean GUARDED!

My son told me the other night to save the country we would have to kill half his generation.

I’m ready to cut them loose.

Yes, the U.S. needs to be broken up into many decentralized governing entities of states.

Let the leftist enclaves rot in their own self-made sewers.

Amerika discovers Columbus!

Don’t forget Woodrow Wilson.

He gave “Birth of a Nation” a great review.

"It is hard to understand how a vast stratum of a population, whether classified as elites or as marginals, arrives at a condition of virtuality."

To think that two and two are four
And neither five nor three
The heart of man has long been sore
And long this like to be

Evil people destroying public property. War. They are defeated and soon will regret their unethical, immoral actions.

Christopher Columbus made four trips to South America and landed at the same spot all four times. Excellent navigation. His little brother destroyed Christopher’s reputation with greed, telling lies and murder, just like Democrats today.

Please make a new statue and place it on private property.

We have to step up.

Or after a while we lose the right to complain

[Chgogal]

Soon it will be time for the adults to push back.

[Bob434]

shall we tear down all remembrances of The Grand Kleegal Byrd? Of Joe Biden? Northam?

Where are the demands for the racists to step down or the memory of the racist Byrd to be erased from history?

[Guenevere]

Yep

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

No different than the man who, in 1972, smashed Michelangelo’s Pieta, or the man who threw a bottle of ink at the Mona Lisa years ago.

Incapable of producing anything worthwhile, all they can do is destroy.

"...time for the adults to push back."

Not to worry, our children are in good proxy hands...

The state sec of education announced those kids got a grant to re-enact how Columbus discovered gravity.

..... Like I say ...... The only place these people actually have any feelings at all ..... Is in the wallet ........ Fine them and make them legally responsible to pay for the damages .....

"There has never been a more incompetent, yet self-
important and corrupt, ruling class in
this country, as Tucker Carlson says."

And most of them are on the Chi-Comm payroll or have
some sort of "business/investment" with arrangement
with foreign governments (China usually) where they
are paid to sell out the American people.

Yes, I do believe this. The American "ruling class"
(most of the political/global business people) have chosen
money and wealth over the well being of the nation.

[petitfour]

Bummer. It sucks for them that Columbus still discovered America.
