They're Coming For Mt. Rushmore

Seems like the "delusional re-writes of history" is occurring on the left, as in denying history.

There are a great number of instances in history where groups have done the same.

Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

"History is not there for us to love or hate, but fir us to learn from, and seek to not repeat its mistakes", Col. Allen West.

True.

So the south is just itching to repeat its attempt at treason?
 
I was just thinking about this the other day. Let's go after Thomas Jefferson and abolish the Declaration of Independence.

In fact, lets just ignore everything else. No one cared when it was the antifa and BLM, and OWS, and the rest of the left wing thugs. Now the media got its Russia kicked to the curb and it's glommed on to the Nazis and White Power.

It's all bs. Truthfully, how many antifa, Nazi's, or White Supremists do you know?

It just one big game.
 
I just told you. Symbols of the confederacy should not be glorified in the public domain with public funds. The people who pay those fees are under no obligation to entertain delusional re-writes of history.

You told me where it stops? Really? Where?

According to a couple of reports out today, the left is continuing its onslaught. I guess it doesn't end today, huh? Well, the left has my support in this regard, if they are truly serious in ridding the nation of racism, I'm ready to help them destroy the party who started it all.

Another dishonest crap post. Thank you.
 
your hysteric paranoia was explained to you yesterday. The Sharpton thing was pointed out to yesterday as being a lie. You keep posting lies even when you know they are lies. How trump like is that?

Posting a doctored video is about as unethical as it can get. I suggest you find an undoctored video for a transcript of what he said and quit posting dishonest crap. Even in your doctor video at the very end he said public funds shouldn't be used to support monuments like Jeffersons, he didn't say we should tear them down.

Ohhh, so now I've taken the trouble to doctor a video of what Sharpton actually said. Any evidence that doesn't conform to your narrative is now suddenly doctored / photoshopped / mass hypnosis. Great job on that response, man - that's called really drinking the koolaid.
 
...................

HAHAHHAAHA!!!!!!

I think your a bit triggered right now buddy. I realize you're a bit offended by the fact that you're being compared to Nazis and Klan members, but you need to chill out a bit because these ridiculous rants aren't helping your cause.

First, please drop this crap about the old Democratic party. Unless you're a complete moron you know full well that the Democratic party of that time was composed of Racist Southern Conservatives, while the Republican party of that time was composed of Northern Liberals. The parties flipped around between 1920 and 1970 after LBJ signed the civil rights bill, and Nixon formulated his southern strategy to recruit racist southern whites to the Republican party.

But more to your point. Liberals are not the least bit interested in anything other than destroying the last remnants of the confederacy, and getting Andrew Jackson off the $20. Liberals would prefer to focus more of our honor on real American Patriots like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln not less.

When you try to create a fake world you forget that the real world is easily found. your video is a fake.

I say we destroy all of history and move forward blindly.
 
First it was flags. Remember that? People wanted to change certain flags of Southern states. Now it's statues and Stone Mountain. People want statues that were connected to the Confederacy torn down. Okay, so what's next?

Monticello? Mt. Vernon? Cemeteries of Confederate dead? Mt. Rushmore? Al Sharpton is calling for the removal of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC. is that a good idea?

All these things have something in common. All are connected to slavery, bigotry and racism. So, if we are to tear down these things, should we also disband the Democratic Party which gave us slavery, Jim Crow and, the Klan?

Kassam: They're Coming for Mount Rushmore, But They SHOULD Be Tearing Down the DemoKKKrat Party

The democratic party did not give us racism. Racism was present in the GOP from day one. Lincoln headed an organization whose goal was to gather up all people of color in the USA and ship them out of the country. Lincoln disliked slavery because he did not like slave labor competing against white workers. He also hated free-blacks competing against white workers, and helped Illinois pass laws prohibiting free blacks from entry into the state unless accompanied by a white person --- the punishment was the black person would be sold into slavery. Lincoln also encouraged all Northern states to pass similar laws keeping all black people out of their states.

The false claim that the GOP was racist free is so factually inaccurate I'm surprised it's a common tactic employed by the right on social media.

Offended? Hell, I’m on your side. Why stop at a few statues of Lee?

Really? ROTFL. In the 1920’s the Klan size was estimated at 5 million. That’s a lot of democrats. The South remained democrat as late as 1976 when Carter took the South. From there it swung back and forth into the 1990’s. About that time is when the left went full on kook mode and essentially lost the South. Not because of racism, unless you think 10’s of millions of Americans are ALL racists. LOL You might think that, I don’t know. Judging by all your errors, I’d say whoever taught you such nonsense, it isn’t your fault. I know we are all “deplorable” right?

But more to your point. Liberals are not the least bit interested in anything other than destroying the last remnants of the confederacy, and getting Andrew Jackson off the $20. Liberals would prefer to focus more of our honor on real American Patriots like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln not less.

Washington and Jefferson held slaves. Lincoln, like the father of the modern Democratic Party, Jackson, didn’t care for Indians. Remember that Trail of Tears thing? Jackson was a big time racist. Like that other darling Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Klan, hated blacks. Democrat leaders all through history hated blacks. LBJ actually referred to them (n-word) and even went as far to nickname one bill, “(the n-word) bill.” Before LBJ, we had Wilson, big on segregation, then of course we had FDR, imprisoned Japanese by executive order without due process. Let’s not forget Jim Crow, another democrat invention.
And even today, the left likes to keep blacks in the ‘hood and dependent on big gov’t handouts.

But, yeah, more to the point. Where does it end? I keep asking and not a single leftist has the wherewithal to answer that simple question. So, a few statues of Lee, Davis, Washington, Jefferson. Maybe Stone Mountain, Mt. Rushmore, Jefferson Memorial? Leftists are already talking about going further so pay attention.

My bad. You’re right, the Democratic Party gave us institutionalized slavery. Silly me.

I never claimed GOP was racism free. Where did you get that? LOL

Yes, they absolutely are. You don't have to be a member of the Klan to hold antiquated ideas about black people.

Those 10's of millions of people you claim "absolutely are" racist? No wonder you people lost 1200+ seats. LOL

Tell me, "Why did this happen now?" These statues have been around for many, many years and no one cared? Why did this suddenly get conflated with "NeverTrump".

It's one thing to see people get played, but to get sucked in "hook, line, and sinker"? That is priceless. The Charlottesville clash was engineered by democrat politicians who directed the group with permits within violence range of those who had none.

To ignore that you have been thrown a bit of Pogy Bait and played for suckers by your own party, makes you all look like a bunch of drooling automatons.
 
Yes but not due to Washington but instead due to the proof that we are not fit to be a self governing nation with the election of Trump as proof of that fact.

We need England to take us back under it wings.

Nonsense. Trump was nowhere near CVille and did issue statements whatever good that does. Trump, in Trump fashion got on both sides of this problem and got excoriated both times.
 
My bad. You’re right, the Democratic Party gave us institutionalized slavery. Silly me.

Nope. Slavery was supported by those who attended the US Constitutional convention, which is why slavery existed in the USA. There was no significant political opposition to slavery, and everyone who attended the convention was a rabid racist, which is why colored people were not considered citizens of the USA, nor could they vote. Your bad is that you know less about US history than the average third grader.

When you claimed that racism came from the dems, without mentioning the GOP's racist foundations, from day one, then why exclude the GOP in your statement?

Here are the real facts: Racism started before the Dems existed.

ROTFLMAO, my heavens, are you out of breathe? Ever hear of compromise? That's what the Founders did in order to form the Union. Some signers from the South were pro slavery, some in the North were not.

Democratic Party institutionalized slavery. It's called history. As a leftist are you horribly embarrassed over your party's racist past you have to project it onto to others?

Here are the real facts: Racism started before the Dems existed.

No ****? Wow. Bowl me over with a feather. :)
 
Yes, they absolutely are. You don't have to be a member of the Klan to hold antiquated ideas about black people.

Incidentally, David Duke, formerly a democrat and racist, who switched parties, ran for office in the state of LA as a GOP'er and resoundingly lost by an enormous margin. How can that be with all those evil white racists down there?

If the founders were against slavery, then it would have been outlawed. It wasn't. If the founders were morally decent people, then they would have allowed blacks to vote, as well as women, and poor white men, but they didn't. What's so special about the founders? Nothing. They were men of their time.

The GOP was against the expansion of slavery based upon their racist policies. It's hard to round up all blacks and kick them out of the country when they are property of slave owners. So, they wanted to stop the expansion of slavery to get a better handle on ridding the USA of all people of color. It's called history ---- something you are in complete denial about.

Not to mention, the GOP these days has been the party supporting racism more than the dems. The fact you cherry pick your facts from history and claim that one should infer from these cherry picked facts that Dems today are more racist than the GOP is an irrational argument, and one not supported by the most basic historical facts.
 
What about books at public libraries? What about the Library of Congress? What about school books?



If they're not glorified in public against the expressed will of the people who live there, i generally don't care.

True.

There's not a denial of the history on the left, there is a repulsion of slavery and its symbols. You are confusing "history" with "statues"- the two are vastly different.

It didn't happen "suddenly"- there's been momentum building against symbols of slavery for years; the confederate flag, for example.
