George of Fentanyl

“ My point is that EVERY time the subject of the confederacy comes up the first thing and loudest thing that needs to be said is they were the Dims.”

That is pointless. All demonrats learn to have an autonomic response to this as “the parties switched sides with nixons southern strategy.” There is no argument or response that will make the slightest bit of difference, however

Judgement and Fire awaits these demons.

Can a veto proof, majority to the rafters with new Conservatives that can, with God’s help, unseat every Demon and RINO (but I repeat myself) in 2022 start undoing some of this insanity and put these statues back in their rightful places in the Capitol as well as history???

I’m not talking about trying to convince the full tilt Dim voters. I’m talking about reminding the every day Americans.

Erasing history worked for Moa and the Red Guard. They torn down the past and history might repeat itself.

Met a woman today from Venezuela and she felt like we are lock stepping the same road Chavez took them down.

She said he used race to divide.

She also said at this point in time China owns their government. (although Russia owns their oil.)

Her mother still spend part of the year in Venezuela. She lives in what she called a “bubble”. Sorta a underground group of trusted people who take care of each other.

Between this and the “Climate Change” workgroup McCarthy just started, its clear he is working overtime to try and keep his job by remaining Minority Leader after 2022, since he needs the gig to keep his multi-million dollar town house.

IMO it is an awful idea to alter our history by tearing down statues.
Democrat Congressman Jim Clyburn, part of Nancy Pelosi’s House leadership team suggested removing these Confederate Statues.
He is of course aware that Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris’s black family were wealthy slave traders. Should VP Harris be removed from office because her family bought and sold slaves?

“Get rid of all the Democrat Confederate statues.”

Just so you will know: Robert E. Lee is not the same as Spike Lee.

Stonewall Jackson is not the same as Jessie Jackson.

Jefferson Davis is not the same as Angela Davis.

if they do this it should be agreed that we build an Erasure of History Museum to house these artifacts & a subtitle that reads (”you know it’s some good s*it”)

So Jefferson Davis led a movement to secede from the Union... yet he has a statue in the Capitol? I’d be hard pressed to defend that.
