Why not remove statues of slave owners too?

You know, like Jefferson and Washington...and probably others.

Lincoln made several public statements any one of which was far more racist than anything every attributed to Robert E. Lee.

I remember some talk of France being the “Cheese eating Surrender Monkeys” back in 2002 I believe?

What do you call the Republicans? “Tour Guides for the Communist insurrection”?

“Nothing short of all out race war will please these deranged people.”

This is clearly what these diabolical fools want. Everything they’ve said and done for a century has been aiming for a revolution, no matter how it might be achieved to put the Communists/Marxist in charge of the government. They were thrown for a loop when the independent-minded Trump decided to run for the presidency, at which time they accelerated every aspect of their “final plan” to turn citizen against citizen, brother against brother - a literal civil war, with them in charge of making things up as they go along, because there have no real plan. They want power. They are a diabolical lot.

Sometimes this place just blows my mind.

Just wait until the career whiners figure out that the US flag “flew over slavery” for hundreds of years, whereas the “rebel flag” did so for a mere 4.

Eventually ALL the US historical symbols will be gone, replaced with that stupid “woke” crap.

It’s coming and soon.

/counting down until they start “airbrushing” past historical figures out of artwork and photos, entirely

A person I once talked to often was related to Lincoln and had a bunch of letters he wrote, which they tried to donate to the national archives and the museum in Illinois.

They did not want them.

Abe had some pretty sketchy stuff to say, privately.

I wonder if she still has them, as they’re “toxic” to his legend?

They are brainwashed by talk radio and national review

They think republicans are a cure all....

Well the Republican Party ....with a betraying track record already well established completely Fd us in the arse 11-4-20

They turned their back on Trumps landslide

They are the enemy as much as the left

South haters here like the ones I’m sparring with are basically kapos

If you ever hear anyone declare they are conservative because they vote Republican ....you know they are clueless

Hope you’re well hon

Get rid of the ML King monstrosity. It’s gross and doesn’t belong any where near the Presidents. It belongs in his hometown.

Statues of Democrat Robert Byrd in his KKK regalia need to be put up in EVERY Federal building, military base, and at the entrance to every Federal park.

I often wonder what happened to this place.

I’m fair to middlin’.

The Dobe boy was diagnosed as hypothyroidal and is on meds.

The dog car is broke down again, feels like torque shudder but started after a hard rain.
Could be electrical.
No money to get it diagnosed because the money all went to fighting vets to get the dog properly and finally diagnosed.

Priorities.

Get rid of all the Democrat Confederate statues

Never really understood how any modern Republican who's knowledgeable of their party's role in American history could hold affection for the actions and images of traitorous Democrats of the past.
