I guess the geniuses who don’t know that the British were the colonizers and we had a war to seperate ourselves from them.

I don't know but I predicted it would come to this back about 2005. Serious question. Nationalist Freepers often parade their patriotic feelings here by displaying contempt for the South and demanding all reminders of the Confederacy be expunged. Do you not now see where this has led? Theodore Roosevelt was about the most nationalist American President ever. He positively rejoiced in the growth and power of the United States and (unlike lib idols Woodrow Wilson and FDR) went out of his way to risk life and limb on the battlefield to show how American he was. Now one of the major representations of TR is to be purged. It will not stop here. Hamilton, Washington and eventually Lincoln and FDR and I suppose JFK will become targets for these communists who are successfully erasing our history right in front of our eyes.

“The statue of President Teddy Roosevelt at the entrance to the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan will be removed amid widespread protests over racial inequality and police brutality in the United States, a report said Sunday.”

And Teddy Roosevelt is responsible for George Floyd?

We are being governed by absolutely demented, depraved, gutless, stupid, total fools.

I’ve been wondering why Wendy’s was considered responsible for the death of Brooks.

But there is no arguing logic with deranged individuals.

They defaced a Lincoln statue in Boston, because it had a black slave kneeling in front of him.

They will come up with any reason.

How do we begin to push back? Organize. Who is interested in starting a volunteer Landmarks Protection Movement?

I'll be looking for the handsome statue of Teddy and the gang on Ebay.

Have a nice spot next to the rose bushes picked out.

I share Teddy’s view of using the term hyphenated Americans which is what your, in name only, so called democrat party exploits. When mine came here they Anglicized the last name and may have used German as a second language but were 100% American and fought them in WW1.

These people who are freaked out by the sight of a monument have WAAAY bigger problems than statuary.

I agree with him too. I throw around the word Italian on here just because it’s shorter than (Americans of Italian descent) and a lot of my experiences come from that background.

But of course the vast majority of us are very patriotic.

And i’m second generation.

The third and now fourth can’t say hello in Italian.

That’s the way it works and that’s ok.

I bet a lot of them were created by white artists.

RE:”all black statues better come down”

That sir would be treated as a hate crime.

We cannot have justice under the law till our white privilege has been atoned for

Tucker Carson is still on FNC at 8pm weeknights after (dropped calls) T-Mobile and (greasy) Papa Johns’ Pizza caved into crazed leftists and pulled their ads off of his show

That’s Three out of four on Mt. Rushmore. If some of these folks had ever read Lincoln’s view of equality with blacks, they would dynamite the whole thing.
