They are already saying we should limit free speech.
Perhaps the outrage over slavery can be beneficially channeled. It’s not wrong to question our past, but it’s a must to look to the Lord for answers.
If we want God to be patient with us, we must be patient with George Washington.
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written by slave owners. They must go.
but slavery never happened.
where is the proof.
i think what we have is hearsay... no physical evidence...
this is what they will have in ten years... history deniers.
Trump was right; where does it end.
Rye is a defcon Leftist loon, always out of control. An obnoxious butt-in, she is a staunch communist, imho.
Isn’t this what all of the really “bad” revolutions do - destroy history?
It’s interesting how these statues were fine for a couple of centuries, and now they are not.
Mark my words, once our founders are demonized, the foundation will be laid to destroy the constitution. That is what this is actually about.
The Left wants to act like what Mao Zedong did during the Cultural Revolution—an act that wiped out much of China’s rich cultural and historical heritage. No thank you.
Now who didn't see that coming?
Washington gave his slaves their freedom since he had too many and they never left.
should be “razing”.....
Hopefully, the more these loons flap their yaps, the more people will turn against the dem/media complex.
Unfortunately, we have things like Romney, McCain, Rubio, Dick Morris, all lining up to support antifa and Black Lies Matter, so who knows what the outcome will be.
Somebody should explain to her that the Democrats are the real racists. She would change her views if she just knew that.
Having long ago lost the facility or inclination to do actual reporting, in their desperate attempt to recover market share, CNN is reduced to vulgarity passing as analysis.
Long tee, it won’t work. They’re going under because there are too many other sources of actual news.
Yes, slavery was horrible! But, NO! WE didn't fight it! It's over! WE had nothing to do with it! Nor did THEY! It's over!
By tearing down anything, doesn't change history! Again, it wasn't US!
I've been tempted to ask any one of these people to stand in front of any of these statues and see if any of them jump from their pedestals and attack and hurt them!
What we are witnessing is the Muslim mentality here. Destroying historical monuments to bring down civilizations is a centuries old strategy.
‘you’re not raising Monticello or Mount Vernon to the ground’
you’re absolutely right on, Matt; when you ‘raise’ something, it goes up into the air...
George Washington never purchased a slave (he inherited them). He never voted for anything pro-slavery in the Virginia House. He had a field where the slaves could farm and keep all the profits for themselves. On his death, he set his slaves free.
I’d say all in all, Washington’s record on slavery, given where and when he came into the world, was pretty damn good.
