Group topples George Washington statue in NE Portland

Anybody that condones tearing down a statue of George Washington is a political extemist, and not very smart.

 

They tore down a statue of Ulysses Grant yesterday in San Francisco.

It's just blind rage.

 

Its evidence of absolute failure of our education system.

Instead of defending police. Time to defend education and find an alternative.

Education has failed us.

 

MLK's statues and anything named after him must be removed.

 

The people that do this are just trying to outrage you. These morons do this because they know it will piss you off. There's no other reason they'll tell you it's over some platitude but it's not.

It's essentially just childish fit throwing. you won't give me what I want and then I'll break your s***.

Someone mentioned it to failure of Education to some extent I agree but more importantly it's the failure of parents.

 

Lol...Have you seen the new American flag sported by the trumpsters?

 

Ouch! Because to morons our history doesn't matter! By the way, our nations capital is "WASHINGTON DC"!

 

Theyvdo it because they believe it is their CAUSE in life to wipe out American history and paint it with the palette of colors of today as to then. They could care less then what I think about it.
But that being said aren't YOU outraged? Aren't you pissed about it.

More on the educational level and this fallacious view of America which has probably done more than any other country to end racism and one of the least racist country in existence. It is excuse for a segment of or population for their own failures in our society and to pass that blame on others.

 

Group topples George Washington statue in NE Portland

Probably the same idiots that terrorized kids on the playground in the fourth grade.

 

I think you give them too much credit I don't think they have any convictions or a cause. I think this is 100% about you and to me and all the other Americans that love our nation.

Assuming of course you're an American and that you love your nation.

They hate us because we don't give them everything.

It's not clever enough to be a cause it's like when you go to a store and you see a child crying and throwing a fit because their parents won't buy them a toy sometimes if it's a particularly manipulative kid they'll say "why do you hate me?"

I know what they want and all they want is to trigger my outrage I refuse to give them what they want. we did far worse last week they burn down businesses and houses and murdered people.

Someone to wash the paint off the statue and put it back.

it's not about race that's just what these idiots say to justify their actions. Most of them are white people.

The news media tries to tell you that it's black and they show only videos of black people.

They've been trying to build this narrative of white supremacy around every corner, I think there's a architect of it. They need an enemy even if it's an imaginary one.

exactly but it's not divided on racial lines. It's the socialists the blm's the antifas the Bernie Bros people that want you to give them everything they need. And until they get it they're going to set on the floor and scream that you hate them until you give in.

the worst thing you can do to these people that desperately want you to pay attention to them is not paying attention to them. Like when a child is throwing a fit and you just let them throw a fit until they're done. And don't give in they learn that that doesn't work.

In the past people learn this has very small children but since parenting doesn't take priority over most things anymore, we have adult babies, they need to get the same discipline their mommies failed to give them.

 

We have share many exchanges and amazed you would have any doubt that not on an American but love my nation, don't know what I have ever posted that would leave some doubt. Yes they hate the successful people and believe they should be able to share in their achievement but they also hate this country and what it has stood and refuse to look at it's history in the context of time and view it through it through the prism of today. LOTS of that is due to the educationals system which almost indoctrinates them into a slanted and negative view of the United States.

I assure you they want more than just your outgage, they not only want your property they want your allegiance and if you do not give it to their causes then you are an enemy to be destroyed.

Race is a big part of it with many white using race in order to get their causes in place and grab the power. Of course they can't really do it on the issues thus the violence and threats.

I grew up in the South in the 1950's and 60's, they have NO IDEA what is racism and discrimination and segregation. And the amazing thing it is is THEY who now want to discriminate and segregate and have race based policies. I think the big question is how do we change that in our educational system?

 

that's why I felt safe assuming. But I wasn't sure now I am. Thank you.

Well yeah Communists hate everything that's not communism. And they want to pilfer from you and me to fund it because it doesn't find itself. Make no mistake about it these people aren't protesters they're not leftist in the general sense they are communists.

I think public schools took over as parents. My spouse works in public schools and says that.

I 100% agree with you, they definitely want more than just our outrage. My property and our skills. And they don't want to earn it. They want to demand it and it must be forced to give it over.

Like a petulant child. They are adult babies.

As a means to an end yes race is an issue for them. It's anything that divides Americans. It's more important now than it ever has been to focus on what unites us.

The race thing is a hoax to try and divide us. This is a strategy divide and conquer ploy.

Notice how much they hate uniting voices?

It's largely a performance. I think it's dawning on a lot of people now.

They are trying to present themselves as more apologetic to try and claim you and I are racist. It's just part of the divide and conquer.

That's why they use those "ophobia" words. They want you to feel like the blacks are against you, the Jews, the Episcopalians the gays, the transgender people, the people from South and central America. It's important for you and me to see them as Americans first. That's the most devistating blow. Our solidarity as Americans is their worst enemy.

 

Back when the statue toppling and calls for taking down Confederate statues began people asked what's next? Jefferson? Washington? Leftists claimed those that asked those questions were just being paranoid and conspiracy theorists trying to make the left look bad.

A few years later? Guess what...its happening.

 

I have been thinking about it for a while, why on Earth would they Target such innocuous monuments. And it dawned on me about 20 minutes ago. They know this is cutting close to you and the ranting and raving about racism they don't want you to hate black people. notice what they always say next to it it was a black lives matter protest associating black with the defiling of monuments.

They defiled a Monument the Abraham Lincoln that was paid for by freed slaves.

They aren't doing this for racism. They're doing it to create racism.

 

This started 12 years ago, when the statues could have been removed by our first half black president.

Its all his fault for dropping the ball, really.

Even CNN agrees.

In place of a few of those Confederate statues coming down, I'd say replace them with former President Barack Obama.
What suggestions do you folks have?

 

Why he did absolutely nothing for Black Americans, nothing.

 

To go with his Noble Peace Prize?
I am reminded of when my oldest son was being commissioned as an officer in the Marines and we went to the ceremony at the Marine Museum at Quanico. While waiting one of my grandsons was getting antsy so my daughter-in-law, a Marine herself, and I took him for a walk. We came to the Vietnam display are and were standing there when a young black lady walked up with her son. He son pointed at a display of medals that Marine POW's had earned while in captivity. Her young son asked her what the things in the display were and she paused for a second and told him "those are the medals Obama won". I thought my daughter-in-law, who had served several tours in Iraq was going to explode but she held it back and we walked away. To this day I wish we had said something.

 

This if for their own self-satisfaction and we are at the point now that people wanting their own red badge of courage are looking for any excuse to topple a monument any monument so they can put it on social media declaring themselves woke and what a great social service they just did.

 

The lemmings yes they are in it for some sense of glory or because they like to burn things, or because they're bored. They never have much stamina though. They are the puppets of the greater architect though. If shots are fired they lose their appetite for it fast.

 

wrong side of the continent

 

was he a slaver?

 

Good! If they destroy ALL history do we get to stop hearing them whine about something that happened 100+ years ago?

 

Now, that's funny.

 

Great anecdote.

Since we are all relating completely unprovable personal stories, I figured that I would tell share one.

I am reminded of visiting Military Museum (that had a display of the pictures of the U.S. Presidents).
A young boy was with his father (a disabled military veteran who had won the Navy Cross for service in Iraq).
He asked his father why the pictures of the Presidents were there.
His father explained that the President is the Commander in Chief.
The young boy took a look at his father's wheelchair and then looked at a picture of Trump and said: "Daddy, if he is the Commander-in-Chief, then why does he do nothing but spread hate and divide people?"
The disabled veteran remained stoic, but to this day I wish I had said somethihg.
Semper Fi.
