Downtown Indy Riots/damage overnight...

[Leadeye]

Forget about Mt Rushmore just how soon before they want to remove the carving from Stone Mountain?

That would take a lot of work, I don't think that set has the attention span for a long job.

And yet I expect them to try.

Actually in the past there was a mindset to honor both sides, to heal the reconstituted republic.
But now... now the idea is this.

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history."
George Orwell

Dead on.

 

[BigRed]

So guessing you don't understand why those killed at The Alamo are revered, either? USS Indianapolis? Probably not Masada, either. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you conducted yourself in battle. Robert E Lee was quite the man, and no amount of retconning will ever change that

Exactly.

Oh snap!

 

[BigRed]

I'm reminded of when the taliban destroyed the Budda's in Afganistan.

Hence, the "american taliban".

I think there are quite a few that don't understand this part of it. I wanted to say something earlier but just couldn't articulate what I wanted to say, but you nailed it.

The same goes for Thomas Jonathan Jackson.

That effort has already been underway for years.

Can't wait until they start breaking up the networks and reveal who is pulling the strings on the violence.

The next will be our Stars And Stripes, it will become more offensive to them. They will want to replace it with the Rainbow flag.

It only stands to reason that the red, white, and blue flag has to go. After all, it "flew over" exponentially more slaves than the confederate flag ever did.

I will not bend, I will not kneel, I will not falter or fail, to defend this flag and what it stands for. Every American under it’s flight has the responsibility to live and act under the guise and guidance of the US Constitution, wherein all men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with inalienable Rights.

I know I just expect it to accelerate.

This just speaks to me about something I have thought about for a few days:

I kneel to no man.

 

[Trigger Time]

Honestly not sure how I feel about this. Taking down a confederate monument doesn’t actually solve anything does it?

Its bull****. Looks like a grave memorial to me. It should be againat federal law to touch it.
****ing democrats

Agree, so it should have stayed put in 1928 instead of being moved to Garfield Park.

A country that erases it's history fails to learn from it's history.

Education doesn't mean much these days.
Not sure why that's a shock.

AOC has a degree in Economics I believe. That piece of paper can be bought by various means.
