Here’s A List Of All The Monuments Liberals Want To Tear Down So Far
The Federalist ^ | August 17, 2017 | Bre Payton

In the wake of the violence that took place in Charlottesville over last weekend, numerous activists and politicians have called for the destruction of more historical monuments, although a significant majority of Americans (62 percent) think the monuments should stay put. Only 27 percent of Americans think these statues should be removed for fear of offending some people. As usual, public opinion’s not stopping liberals from pursuing an unpopular agenda.

Though by no means comprehensive, here’s a list of the monuments that are facing calls for removal or have already been torn down.

1. The Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC

In a PBS interview, Al Sharpton called for the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC to be abandoned because the third president of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence was a slave owner.

2. Statues In The Capitol

Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Corey Booker (D-N.J.) have both called for statues commemorating Confederates to be removed from the U.S. Capitol....

Odd how nobody has figured out that the national community organizer is behind all this.

What about the HAMILTON musical that’s so popular with leftists?

Hamilton was a slave owner. Shouldn’t that musical be shut down for glamorizing a Nazi?

What if deceased Confederates will posthumously self-identify as trannys?

I can’t wait to see how the election in 2018 turns out. This could be glorious - if we can just primary enough RINOs and choose real conservatives to challenge democrats in patriotic districts!

So, when are democrats going to start demanding that statues of Robert Byrd be removed from the senate and from his home state?

Liberals are falling deeper into the abyss each hour. This ignorance isn’t winning them any new votes. All they have is racial exploitation. But, that’s gone on nearly two centuries.

If we have to take down the statue of everyone that’s sinned, then we have to take down Bill Clintons Presidential Library.

There is one certain fact, and certain outcome from all of this statues and monuments having to be destroyed or moved.

Democrats are not noticing that, perhaps a completely different outcome from what they wish, is what’s going to happen.

Instead of bringing the races closer, what might actually be happening as a result of their monumental blunder, is that there will actually a wider racial divide.

Nobody can be forced to be unbiased, and nobody can be forced to think like all others, and nobody can be forced to like anyone. As long as people look different and think differently and do things differently, there will be disagreements and biases and even hate.

"Juanita Broaddrick Suggests a Statue to Be Removed and It’s BRILLIANT"

""Speaking exclusively to The American Mirror, Broaddrick denounced the lack of efforts to uproot a monument to Bill Clinton in South Dakota, the man she says raped her in a Little Rock, Arkansas hotel room in 1978.

“I would like to ‘personally’ use a sledgehammer on it, with the help of Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones,” Broaddrick says.

A life-size statue of Clinton stands at the corner of 7th and Saint Joseph Street in Rapid City." "

They had crossed a line then crossed another line with going beyond just the Confederacy.

They’ve turned themselves into the enemies of America right before our very eyes.

That is a hideous statue - big head and goofy expression! Very life-like!

I wonder if the BJ Clinton statue would hit on the Lucy Ball statue?

here's another one that the damned commies want torn down:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victims_of_Communism_Memorial

The Victims of Communism Memorial is a memorial in Washington, D.C. located at the intersection of Massachusetts and New Jersey Avenues and G Street, NW, two blocks from Union Station and within view of the U.S. Capitol.[1]

The memorial is dedicated “to the more than one hundred million victims of communism”. The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation says the purpose of the memorial is to ensure “that the history of communist tyranny will be taught to future generations.”[2]

The Victims of Communism Memorial was dedicated by President George W. Bush on June 12, 2007,[3] the 20th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's “tear down this wall” speech in front of the Berlin Wall.
