So far, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and now Abraham Lincoln have all had their figures or statues disfigured by ignorant yahoos.

The fourth figure on Mt. Rushmore is Teddy Roosevelt. How long until there shall be calls for HIS disfigurement and potential removal from the pantheon of the list of men who have served as Presidents?

One day, perhaps ALL the memorable acts of those men who shaped and sculpted America shall be scrubbed from any artifact that showed they existed at all. How many of the noble leaders of the Rome Republic and the Roman Empire still have any trace of their existence yet available for study and review by scholars? Remember how the repeated sackings of Rome scattered and destroyed so much of the daily life of those Romans.

Andrew Jackson is probably also in line for being demoted to an “unperson”, a very Orwellian term.

You're a bit behind the times...the statue of Teddy, outside if NYC's NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM ( which, sans Teddy's father and his money, would NEVER have existed! ) was called to be taken down yesterday or the day before.

Teddy was NOT a "racist", yet the morons clam that he was.

Maybe next, the uneducated cretins, in Chicago, will demand a name change for Grant Park. Though they still have yet to call for the street name changes of Monroe, Madison, etc.!

There is a statue that shows TR walking forward into the future with a negro and an indian by his side. They are after that one.
