On June 14, protesters in Portland, Oregon made the leap that had to be made sooner or later by toppling a statue of Thomas Jefferson. Yes, bring down the statues of Confederate icons; yes, ban Confederate flags; and yes, enough with the Army bases named after Confederate generals. But is that really enough? What about all of the slave owners who are worshiped as the founders of our nation and the composers of our Constitution? Should we not include them? The answer is a hardcore yes. The nation should come together and, as a national holiday, dynamite them out of American history in the way one would dynamite a couple of those granite faces off Mount Rushmore.

I keep expecting to wake-up one morning to the news that Mount Vernon was burned down.
The name “Portland” sounds very suspicious.
Isn’t a “port” where they sold slaves?
I say let’s hold the city accountable.
We have a lot of people here on FR who make me sick.
They were (and are) perfectly happy when they did that to Confederate memorials. They are just like the Antifa.
Why do you post stuff like this on FR?

Interestingly, Portland is one of the whitest major American cities.
When will the mob go after monuments to the Democrat god FDR? He threw 100’s of Japanese Americans into prison camps.
These people are anarchists. Anyone who is defending them or aligning with them are Ant-American and Anti-Democracy. They might as well announce they are full blown communists
So THIS is how the Statue of Liberty is found buried in the sand in “Planet of the Apes”....
Yes, Washington, Lincoln, all of them.
Its coming don’t you worry. Washington’s tomb is right on the property also.
I know. I participated in the wreath laying ceremony(I read Washington’s prayer for the nation)in August 2018.
When does Lenin’s statue in Seattle come down? he was an international criminal and mass murderer of the first rank and the a-holes put up a statute of the louse.
“Why do you post stuff like this on FR?”
That’s like asking Gen Patton why he listens in on German Army communications, and telling him to ignore the enemy.
Leftists are really “over the top” in their confusion, ignorance, violence, hatred, racism, incivility, pathetic-ness and nitwittery. They must be crushed...at the ballot box, of course. Wake up you middle-of-the-road-ers. Also, their pathetic antics are good for a laugh. More popcorn!!!
Agreed.
I agree.
There’s not one single patriot in Portland? Will ANYBODY start standing up to these MF’ers?
