Trump right again: Charlottesville VA votes to end observation of Jefferson's birthday
The National Sentinel ^ | 7/2/19 | Jon Dougherty

A year ago, according to James S. Robbins, a Pentagon official during George W. Bush’s administration and author of the book “Erasing America,” quoted POTUS Donald Trump opining that the American Left would never be satisfied with simply pulling down Confederate monuments.

No, the president said in 2017, Leftists would eventually adopt overt efforts to actually memory hole our founders, our traditions and our culture.

“Is it George Washington next week” he said, “and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”

Noted Robbins: “Liberal historians tut-tutted at the president for even suggesting such an absurdity.”

Well, it turns out that our president, once again, was exactly right.

My daughter lives there. I’m sure she’d love to host a Jefferson’s Birthday Party

Just because the founders did not create a perfect country on the first or second try does not make them evil. Did the Wright Brothers create a jet? Did Ford create a Ferrari? Everything improves over time.

I’m waiting for the pendulum to swing back and people begin to look at how much of a pervert and low life MLK, JR. really was. I’m sure the race of professional victims will find a way to justify his actions.

I called it too! I stated they will get rid of all military names for US bases because they sound white. Just like fag marriage, they started with inches and went all the way..

Only a fool would have thought this would stop at Confederate monuments.

Liberals try to portray themselves as moral giants, while denigrating our founders. The reality is that the founding fathers upheld righteous principles, liberals do not.

Part of me wants to be outraged, but literally who gives a damn about “city holidays”? I couldn’t even begin to tell you what “city holidays” are celebrated where I live. How many people will notice anything or care? This is just pathetic, hollow grandstanding from their city council.

So I ran the idea by her and she responded “if the correct response is to ban everything that touched slavery, then we would need to move to an undiscovered island.”

Great then I’ll take all your cash and coins with
Jefferson on it

Then we can stop honoring the false
“separation of church and state” based
on a post Presidency letter

Next we can ban the Democrat party he founded

Etc.

***********

The Left perpetually whines about everything. They work tirelessly to undermine our country. And, with the help of a complicit media, they are succeeding.

It does indeed. A HUGE tent. And there’s a beautiful view of the vineyards and countryside to boot.
