Does anyone besides me remember the headlines from 2001 ? KABUL, Feb 26 (AFP) - Taliban militia supreme leader Mulla Mohammad Omar on Monday issued a decree ordering the destruction of all statues in Afghanistan including ancient pre-Islamic figures.
"Based on the verdict of the clergymen and the decision of the supreme court of the Islamic Emirate (Taliban) all the statues around Afghanistan must be destroyed," said the decree.
The decree was issued as a team of western diplomats is visiting the Afghan capital to check reports that senior Taliban officials destroyed over a dozen pre-Islamic artefacts in the national museum.
Media reports have said zealous officials among the ruling Islamic militia recently destroyed several ancient relics in Kabul Museum, including an exquisite and priceless Buddha statue dating back some 2,000 years.

These BLM maggots would sing if Big Brother announced over the radio that 1984 had returned in 2021. Maybe COVID-19-Delta will pay them a visit as it was spewed out in song.

This is the result of the Left taking over the cities, the media, and the educational establishment.

Lee was undoubtedly one of the greatest men our nation has produced.
Having braying Burn/Loot/Murder idiots cheer as his statue came down should be considered as a credit to Lee.

A statue is a work of art. Destroying art is a sign of a deranged culture. The statue could have been returned to the decendants of the sculptor.

With Lee removed they still won’t stop shooting each other.

It was erected in 1890 in honor of Lee, a prominent slave owner and revered Confederate Army general
I’m sure his owning slaves is the most salient fact about Robert E Lee. In fact, that is the only thing one really needs to know about him—he was a ‘prominent slave owner’.
And the new time capsule sounds like it’s a huge improvement over the old with the BLM and Pride stickers and all.
