The Afghanistan Taliban completely agree with the U.S. Taliban.

The Afghanistan Taliban painted over a George Floyd mural in Kabul yesterday, calling him a “liberal American deity.”

Or maybe the gov’t is just fine paying $400 a week to keep folks inside their homes while they begin destroying the system all over and get those camps ready.

Say what you will about the Taliban, but they get what the culture war is all about. The political Right of the Western World may lose the culture war to the Left, but I doubt those people ever will.

Put Joseph Stalin up— that is their hero in their Orwellian world of idiotic no nothings of history and our country.

Robert E. Lee was Commandant of the US Military Academy at West Point. He was also a graduate of the same, highly ranked. He also built Fort Pulaski in Savannah as an Engineer. He also arrested the conspirators who broke into the armory in Harper’s Ferry, W.V. and stole US arms there for a violent revolt— arrested John Brown, tried him and the tribunal had him executed by hanging.

FReepers need to know— the CRAZY Communists (that is what they are) have come into many historical places to remove monuments and “protest” for BLM and AntiFa. They have plastered flyers which say: “John Brown Lives!” This is a FACT documented particularly in the Silent Sam monument at UNC Chapel Hill and the environs. In North Carolina.

“John Brown Lives!”... think of that— this psychopath who came from Bloody Kansas and murdered many people before that over “abolition”...and roll this into the mentality behind removing a statue to an American Hero, who signed a loyalty Oath and was pardoned. The copy of the signed pardon was “lost” for many years. And yes— Jimmah Cahtah went out of his way to grandstand a “pardon” that was not needed-— typical. The original virtue signalling of the self-anointed.

They could have sold it for several million dollars at an art auction, but they don’t want anyone to display it, even on private property.

Let’s take down the idiotic poorly done statue of Arthur Ashe-— who died of AIDs from rectal penetration with his “pals” in communicable disease (one which the idiot Fauci NEVER DEVELOPED a vaccine against, btw).

A freaking tennis player put on Monument Ave.— for WHAT? What great contribution to America did this pervo make? Fpr winning the grand slam and freaking wimbledon-— whooopeee!

The last remaining statue on Monument Avenue is the Arthur Ashe Monument. TAKE IT DOWN. “This” black life has WHAT comparative value in any cultural sense.

I thought it was from a blood transfusion.

This was a celebration, organized by the state. It was live streamed by several networks. This is really meaningful to the left since it symbolizes the destruction of the country, their ultimate goal.

If they think destroying a statue of General Lee will wipe him from history, they are badly mistaken. There are still millions of us who still name our sons for him. Our children and grandchildren will remember. Some of us still hear the guns. The English tried to wipe all memory of Scotland from the earth after Culloden. They failed. This will fail too. It may go underground for a bit, but it will not be lost.

“There are still millions of us who still name our sons for him.”

I did.

And would again.

It was said to be— from a second heart surgery in 1980. This being 8 years prior to the detection of his having toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease which is/was commonly found in HIV infected patients. The parasitic infection connection to HIV/AIDs was noticed and described in a book by a high end NY physician at Cornell- a GI doctor who had many wealthy patients who traveled on sex-tourism trips to Haiti for the “rough trade” same and opposite sex, and came back with parasitic toxoplasmosis and a then unknown immune disease- determined to be HIV/AIDS. Speculation that the Cuban army in Angola came back to the Caribbean bringing this, and thence to Haiti.

The progress of HIV infection from an 8 years prior blood transfusion, were that to be the true source, depends on what HIV subtype it was. The clinical average of survival from infection with HIV is 9 to 11 years again depending on the subtype, so there is a gap in years that puts question to the transfusion. It could be- but at the time his own doctor was silenced. Lifestyle cannot be ruled out.

Am reminded of how deceptive Fauci was about AIDs and completely wrong, and lied just as he has done with covid all along:

Nothing in the report about whether Governor Northam was wearing Blackface while speaking to the crowd.

Coming, soon, to our shores.
General Lee was merely a military figure who chose to fight for his state’s part in the Civil War.
From all accounts he was an honorable man.

One day these radicals will decide that our religious figures have to go too. The church, temple, mosque, whatever, will be targets.

And we will be quoted, as Sharon Jennings was, “it does need to come down.”

But, this is not an anti slavery action, this is a communist led action.

How can so many people not see this?
