    He stands for a legally elected leader, twice no less. Anybody wanting to pull a statue of his down is in effect pulling one down of the right to vote. They are just to spoilt by the fact that they have never had to do a bit to defend that right so they take it for grated.

    You are very confused and got the wrong country. That is Moderna Demokratchina Partia uh Kapustastani that formed in 1828. You need go pay attention.

    I am being sarcastic of course. There is no country callled Kapustastan which if there was would translate to Cabbagestan or Sauerkrautstan. You must have seen me use that name in jest. But maybe not so now you know.

    On a serious note 1828 is not modern times at least not on our planet. But on Kapustastan it may be.

    sure it’s not modern times but the modern dnc was born then

    things can be old...and the dnc certainly is as well as it’s regressive polices

    Rumor is that everything’s got to go except the statue of Lenin and the statue of Obama, these 2 being the 2 most important people of distinction in the revised new history of the George Orwell, er..Soros, NWO

    I’m not sure how the hell the Lenin statue gets to stay when the others don’t.

    Indeed it is. Law enforcement also got one of the "CHAZ" leaders too, he can be seen crying here at 1:13 seconds in.

    List of places named after Robert Byrd

    When KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd statues and everything on that list is re-named or torn down then I will believe that Black lives actually matter to the leftists and Democrats......not a minute sooner. I'm glad they caught the guys responsible for destroying Federal property. They should have the monument fully restored and hand the bill to them after they get out of jail.

    Restoring the Statue is erasing history though? shouldn't it be left as it is so people remember this and don't do it again

    isn't that why we put Confederate hero's on statues to honor them? to remind the people never to do that again, isn't that the msg being sent to the people?

    He's the poster boy for a newly designated federal crime on federal property that an EO was specifically issued for.

    I bet the feds find plenty to make stick, after all examples must be made-this is coming from the top.

    Even the CHAZ dude is in for a world of hurt as he stole a car and led police on a chase.

    I'd like to think that's why he was crying.

    Anywho think of how obtunded one must be to hate their nation, its laws, and its history.

    I hate to say it-but these are not subtle people-and therefor the answer will not be subtle.

    Really? Ridiculous.

    Something like half of Republicans repeatedly and vociferously claimed evin to this day Obama not to be an America (not to mention claiming to this day he was married to his transexual husband, they never where his kids came from).

    Even the current "US president" claimed Obama was an alien, until around his serious of campaign for President.

    Curious, was Trump lying before when he said Obama from Kenya, or after when he flipped his lies to say Trump now says Obama is an American citizen?

    Only Putin knows for sure! But since Trump had nothing to say about Russia paying up to $100,000 each for assassinating US troops in Afghanistan, its of concern.

    The Hillary campaign implied Obama was foreign born.

    Andrew Jackson was a racist. The early Democrat party was called the "white man's party." Isn't Jackson called the "father of the Democrat party"? Jackson owned around 300 slaves and never released any while alive and didn't provide that they be freed in his will. If any escaped, he hunted them down and put extra bounty money if they were whipped. He was responsible for the Trail of Tears in which a third of the Indians who were removed, died. He wanted the land they were on for white farmers. This is the guy Democrats admire. All of the statues that the Democrats are tearing down are statues of Democrats. Ironic, isn't it? This is Democrat history and their history stinks...
    BTW Biden gave a glowing eulogy for Byrd (it's on video) as did the Clintons...

    I disagree, in Germany you don't see statues and monuments of Nazis or Hitler. It doesn't change the history of what they did, they are just not seen in public display as men of honor.

    Jackson also deserves no place of honor.

    During his lifetime (1767-1845), Jackson went from poverty to wealth because he personally embraced the institution of slavery. Enslaved workers grew his cotton, built and tended his house and helped him gain a social foothold in Southern society. Jackson owned as many as 161 enslaved people, buying and selling them, using their labor to build his fortune and even bringing them to the White House to work for him.

    Records show he beat his enslaved workers, including doling out a brutal public whipping to a woman he felt had been “putting on airs.” And when any of them ran away, he pursued them and put them in chains when they were recovered. In an 1804 newspaper advertisement for a 30-year-old runaway named Tom, he offered an extra $10 for every 100 lashes doled out to the escapee.

    Jackson’s Indian Removal Act resulted in the forced displacement of nearly 50,000 Native Americans and opened up millions of acres of their ancestral land to white settlement. He insisted it was for the best; the Native Americans, whom he saw as savages and referred paternalistically to as “my red children,” were, to him, merely collateral damage in a grand push to achieve progress for white Americans. Meanwhile, the policies disrupted and destroyed Native American lives.

    No one asked you to, I asked should Pres. Obama be honored? Simple enough question given your criteria to honor Jackson.

    No worries for them. That is, if they don't end up in prison, then either CNN or MSNBC will hire them as commentators.

    No it's not, because there is nothing on those statues or monuments saying anything about their racist misdeeds.
