First, Confederate statues. Now, statues of founders. Next, Jesus. Their real target: America

To overthrow a free society from within, its citizenry must be brainwashed to reject its traditional principles, values and institutions.  Acting in support of the century-long progressive dream of turning America into a socialist-communist nation, Marxists in our midst are systematically destroying treasured symbols of America’s heritage.  A tiny slice of what’s been happening:

● Vandals tear down statues of Union general Ulysses S. Grant, national anthem lyricist Francis Scott Key.

Watch: Statue of George Washington draped in burning American flag toppled by cheering protesters.

● Baltimore statue of Washington defaced with red paint, graffiti saying “Destroy Racists.”

● Museum of Natural History announces removal of statue of former U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt.

● BLM rioters attempt to topple statue of former U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, located near White House.

● “I pledge allegiance to our Global Society”: Elementary school principal tried to replace Pledge of Allegiance.

● BLM activists place KKK hood over head of 100-year-old statue of George Washington, demand its removal.

● “Not welcoming to some”: Leftist clergy at Virginia church where Washington prayed remove memorial plaque in his honor.

● Boston’s Democrat mayor considers removal of “racist” statue of Lincoln standing beside emancipated slave.

● Thousands cheer as protesters topple statue of Thomas Jefferson at Portland high school named after him.

● Leftist students, faculty “deeply offended” by statue of Jefferson displayed in Rotunda at UVA, the university he founded.

● Students at Hofstra University demand removal of Jefferson statue.

● San Francisco school board votes to conceal mural depicting life of George Washington at high school bearing his name.

“Cultural Marxism” is the gradual process of grinding down western democracies by subverting the pillars of their culture, the structures and institutions of family, religion, education, politics, law, the arts and the media, as they provide the social cohesion necessary to a functioning society.

Challenge the legitimacy of these institutions, and a capitalist society can be overthrown from within in a way that goes largely unnoticed until it’s too late. Twentieth century Italian communist, Antonio Gramsci, is widely considered as the father of Cultural Marxism.

Known as Obama’s ideological mentor, Gramsci summarized his stratagem for dismantling Christianity in western nations in this quote:

“Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”

Their real target is the entire planet, all of humanity. That’s why they’re called globalists. They cannot bear the idea of a free people existing anywhere.

Where are the GOP Senators and Congress in voicing their opposition and disgust with this? The GOP are f-ing gutless POS! They sure are courageous when attacking Trump though!

The Republicans truly are the “Stupid Party!”

Maybe it’s time for the people to respond. In kind! Just a question.

We can dance around it by talking about “Western Civilization” or “Confederates/DemonKKKrats” or “history” or any of the other dodges, but this is about race. The Marxists/Globalists want to genocide people of European descent (11% of the world population). That is blatantly obvious. That’s the goal of SPLC and several other organizations dedicated to the Marxist/Globalist cause. The Democrat party embraces this agenda, while the Republican party is ashamed of its own base of white voters.

They despise Christians with a white hot passion. The left is very much directed by radical homosexuals who see religion as their enemy because it will not normalize them.

All the Republicans with the exception of President Trump are interested in is counting their money.I consider them co-conspirators with the Democrats. Especially in the quest to remove President Trump from Office.

Exactly right. The U.S. is targeted for destruction by the left because it is based on Judeo-Christian principles but the real target is Bible-based Christianity that stands opposed to the left's hedonism.

Yes, but... today’s radical socialists are allied with Muslims, who are even less fond of homosexuals than most Christians, who at least tolerate them.

But, that’s a battle for another day, in the ruins.

Leftists can easily form a temporary alliance with Islam because both are committed to the destruction of Christianity, the left's ultimate enemy. It will be easy enough for the left to turn on Islam once Islam has served its purpose.

Amazing how mainstream Conservatives are finally catching up with what Southerners have been saying for 25-30 years. If any of you thought they were going to stop at Confederate monuments and symbols, you were out of your minds. A giant middle finger to those “Conservatives” who sought to appease the woke mob by throwing the South’s heritage and history under the bus.

Welcome to the party guys.
