Will the Jefferson Memorial be Taken Down?

The strategy used to eliminate Southern heritage will also be employed for the cultural cleansing of society at large

In the past anyone who questioned whether the Jefferson Memorial might be taken down would have been dismissed as a screwball. But it is the kind of question that is being raised in this bizarre society we’re living in. A CNN anchor recently questioned whether the Jefferson Memorial should continue to stand. One of her cohorts responded that it might be time to “rethink Jefferson.”

To understand these media types, we must remember that most were born after 1970, so they came of age during the heyday of Political Correctness. What they were taught about the United States was radically different from what previous generations were taught.

Much of what was admired about our country, especially the Founding Fathers, is now being vilified by the Leftist establishment. Washington, Jefferson, and other Founders are being labeled slave-owning racists, and attempts are under way to cleanse any memories of them.

Will Obama step down and/or be investigated for his many close ties to people who are declared enemies of the US?

[Organic Panic]

No doubt in my mind it will be removed and replaced with a shrine to Obama. No doubt in my mind. Obama, the first black president, will make sure his infamy is memorialized in the Moaist fashion of that hideous MLK statue.

....”The strategy used to eliminate Southern heritage will also be employed for the cultural cleansing of society at large”.....

Americans are being manipulated to absorb and reflect a deviant culture parceled in with accepting a multi-culturalistic society....one ‘not’ of integration but of various cultures living in their own specific societies side be side.

These will be “foreign states within states.” Many of which will be dependent on Government subsidies in order to control and use them as means of keeping true Americans from resisting.

All this in order for the domination of a ‘culturally diverse society’ by the ruling class or as often said the 1% who will determine society beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, etc. where ‘their’ ruling-class worldview becomes the worldview that is imposed and accepted ‘as the cultural norm’.

If it sounds Marxist...it is.

The cost of building the Obama memorial will be very big, I'm sure.
But the budget for 24 hour guard perimeter is going to be enormous. Maybe a special tax on spray paint can help cover the cost.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

I can't imagine any reason why the Jefferson Memorial shouldn't be taken down, if that is the will of the people. No doubt there were costs paid to erect it and continuing costs to maintain it. The poor man is long ago gone to this world but his spirit lives on in vastly more important ways than this memorial.

I think we get too upset by a bunch of this crap. Tear the dang thing down. It will probably cost multiple millions to do so. But it's ok, we have money to burn. As Americans, that's just what we do. The politicians have all the money. We have a self reporting, voluntary tax system. We support these guys with real money.

Around the top of the wall on the inside of the Jefferson memorial, just under the dome, runs the quote,”for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” I can imagine how the left would feel about it. It is no wonder that they would want such a person consigned to oblivion.

Yet the Dims herald Thos. Jefferson as a founder of their party. Such duplicity turns reason on its head.

Let’s get rid of the memorial to that plagiarist and adulterer, Martin Luther King, Jr.

[StormEye]

Let's see:
1) Jefferson Memorial --- has to go.
Monument to a disgusting slave owner.
2) Monticello -- racist slave holding pen -- bulldoze it down
3) Washington Monument
Racist because George Washington owned slaves
4) Mount Vernon - another insulting slave holding place. Burn it down!
5)University of Virginia -- founded by slave owning Thomas Jefferson.
Get rid of it.
6) All Confederate graves. Knock down the headstones.
7) All confederate monuments -- tear them down.
8) Disinter R.E. Lee and throw his bones in landfill.
Now America will start to become a liberal utopia.

"Let’s get rid of the memorial to that plagiarist and adulterer, Martin Luther King, Jr.

I heartily agree!!
Should have never been erected in the first place!!

I have rarely seen a more repulsive posting on Free Republic. With your words you have denigrated our Founders and the spirit of Liberty.

Do you not have the intellectual wherewithal to see that what is happening is an evil assault on the left on the Spirit of our Founding? The evil left wants a dictatorship that crushes America as founded. Are you that blind?

The will of the people? The left doesn't care about the will of the people.

Please educate yourself and read the founding documents and read what is means to have the rule of law.

Tyranny is staring us in the face and yet your big statement is that you would have no problem with the evil left taking down one monument after another -- because it offends someone.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

You're missing the whole point. What might be offensive to a few loud voices on the left might also be exactly that. The will of the people. Witness one monument cast rather permanently in stone.

I'm suggesting part of their strategy is to keep you and I outraged, and it seems to be working.

Now America will start to resemble Revolutionary France, or Mao’s China.
