There is no need to name names. The so-called conservatives who have been coddling mindless calls to destroy public art know who they are,(Snip)These are the reasonable conservatives, the good ones, so ever careful no to be called racist. They had a compromise in mind because they always do. Throw the Confederate statues under the bus and we can save the rest. Well.
Friday night a statue of Ulysses S. Grant was toppled. Also the statue of a Catholic saint. Do you know who is to blame? It is not the hordes of progressives with ropes and chains; it is every conservative who thought those Jacobin lunatics could be appeased

FTA:
George Orwell wrote a book once called “1984.” Let me know if this sounds familiar, “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
Almost everyone who reads “1984” makes the same fundamental mistake. They think that they are Winston, the protagonist who senses the evil around him. It never occurs to most people that they are far more likely to be almost everyone else in the book.

What do you think they are done destroying all the statues and they are gone? Maybe they can just go from house to house eating your food and killing whites with impunity. Family after family gone. Who is going to stop them? I guess because they are angry they have every right according to our leaders. The more angry the more they feel they are justified. We have no freedom of speech anymore.This is what you get when you are too permissive with you kids. They grow up into these fools with no knowledge of our history and no tolerance for anyone but themselves. One day they will be our leaders. Oh wait, they are now. No one DARE speak against their DEMANDS.

That's why it bugs me so much when people say "They better not try that here...". Problem is, they do try that here and they get away with it almost every time. They know us better than we know them. They know we have a lot to lose, and that we are reluctant to take lives or expose ourselves to a legal system that is stacked against decent people.
Until we are willing to flush everything we've worked for all our lives down the toilet, we will have the coward label.

Nikki Haley, a republican, didn't help much while governor of South Carolina by changing the state flag because of the mean'ole stars and bars. They'll be moving on the Mt. Rushmore and the Washington Monument before too long.

Communist-socialist countries change history by re writing or omitting parts of it. Photos are altered, once great leaders or scoundrels are erased. This is what BLM and democrat “leaders” are doing presently. President Trump was magnificent tonight. Hopefully he won’t be erased by a fool like Biden. Admittedly, I could do without a photo of Nancy.

OK, which "conservative cowards" are running the cities and police departments where the statues are being destroyed? The places where this destruction is occurring are the liberal cess pools where they elect corrupt democrat governments. It seems to me it is the "liberal criminals" that are responsible for falling statues.

This gem of an article ought to be a Must Read. It's a mini version of Paine's Sunshine Patriots.
When you have people ranging from Cathay (Chick-fil-a) to Kay Coles James (of Heritage, and someone i always liked very much) demonstrate their surrender, so readily, to radical views and practices, it's alarming. It's sad. It's infuriating, because if you read history, you know that even great empires can fall within a very short time once the civic leaders, the patriots, shirk their responsibilities, their duty.
Basically these anarcho-terrorists are undermining and disposing of our nation's" reason for being" while the sunshine patriots look on in sheepish acquiescence. Why, of course there's systemic racism! They demand mass confession of this mob-defined cardinal sin. Like any cultic confessional, it's a group thing, group-think. Like all cults, from Maoists to Moonies and Jim Jones. The modern version of Flagellantism. You must not think for yourself. If you try, they will utterly ruin you. The ultimate penalty surely is only a little ways off, because we've already seen that they don't intend to stop, now that their appetite is whetted.
Notice that no-one is uttering the word, Liberty.

This is like deja vu. My family lived in a burned county during the not so Civil War.
My heart breaks with so much history lost and no one held accountable. Arrest them.

There are no leaders any more. Political, spiritual, or corporate. All spineless and trying to save their own skin. The collapse of society will trigger clamoring for THE leader - the Antichrist. And like the clamor for a vaccine for the "virus", it will be seen as a good and practical solution. Read your Bibles. Get ready.

As always. no one on the Right will do anything until it becomes personal to them. When your bubble is attacked, then maybe you will act. That being said, I will not help the folk in Seattle, Portland or elsewhere until they start to help themselves. Get out of the big cities. Give up your fancy houses and cars. I know, I know, easy for me to say. Yup, it sure is since I did it 40 years ago. There is a life out there that politicians, and other thugs, can't dictate your every move. It is your choice.

Off topic It is disheartening that their comment section has been closed. They are bowing to the censors

FTA: "There is no need to name names.... What’s done is done, but it is not too late."
No. It really is too late, and there is a great need to name names. Rich Lowry, George Will, John Podhorezt, William Kristol, Ben Shapiro, Kevin Williamson, Stephen F. Hayes, and Jonah Goldberg denounced Donald Trump in 2016. By continuing to oppose him after he became the GOP nominee, they renounced their positions as de facto leaders of conservatism. By maintaining their errors since then, they have forfeited any claim that they speak from facts.
President Trump has proven them to be categorically, persistently, and stupidly wrong about the most important political decision of our time. I don't want any of them back. I have no time for them and very little remaining patience.
They can stand next to Fauci in the ash heap of history.
