The left's war on America's past crossed several new frontiers last week.
Portland's statue of George Washington, the Father of his Country and the first president of the United States, the greatest man of his age, was toppled and desecrated.
While the statue stood, an American flag was draped over its head and set ablaze. After it was pulled down, a new fire was set on another American flag spread across the statue, and also burned. The vacated pedestal was painted with the words, "You're on Native Land."

FTA: "Today as was true in the 1960's, the American establishment is on the run. It recoils from mob action but it cannot bring itself to condemn those tearing down the statues, for it basically agrees with them and seeks to marshal their energy to help it get back into power in November."
Their whole goal in life: to get back into power in November, and that is why they hate President Trump.

I just came to the realization that african-Americans are in fact NOT americans and never will be Americans.
They are Africans - first and foremost.
That's how they view themselves.
That's their culture and legacy. Too bad.
180,000,000 Africans here cant be good. They just don't fit with America.

If it keeps up I predict some good old boys with appropriate 'tools' will put an end to it!

Biden saying, "This should stop"won't phase them. Obama is giving the orders. Pay close attention to what he says.
I am fearful for this 4th of July. The every day weekend warrior better be ready to lock and load.

Where are the Republicans? Why are they not standing up and defending our country, putting an end to the rioting and violence at least in the Republican run cities? Where are city council members and why are locals allowing this chaos? The democrats support and encourage violence and mob behavior and force the police to stand down, but Republicans should be doing what they were elected to do, representing and protecting citizens. Where is Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, John Cornyan and all the other Republicans? They are strangely quiet leaving the President standing alone to fight back for the people. I did not vote Republican for them to appease, pander, create more fake holidays and fall in line to placate a bunch of well funded anarchists community organizers. It is past time for Republicans to step up and take charge and act for the people.

I see yet another obligatory alt-right slander against a populace of people with dark skin that utterly forgets the numerous "non-white" Americans who have become Trump supporters and understand what the US Constitution is for. Go back to Gab, alt-right. Youre not welcome here.

At some point, there will be a monument the mob will attempt to destroy, and it will be the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm waiting for these idiots to try and vandalize Arlington Cemetery or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Police won't be needed to arrest anyone, because dead people don't need to be arrested.

The police have been handcuffed due to political correctness but a dozen determined patriots at each location could bring a mob of any size to a halt. Think King Leonidas against Xerxes. Make them climb over bodies to get to a statue and they'll soon decide that it isn't worth it.

Until enough of them are killed to cause the rest of them to lose their enthusiasm.
I tried to determine if there was a better way to express it. There wasn't.

Yeats sees the problem 100 years ago: "THE BEST LACK ALL CONVICTION [GOPe] .. THE WORST ARE FILLED WITH PASSIONATE INTENSITY [Jackass Party]." He didn't bother with root causes, Irish Catholics against Protestants and all of them against England. Didn't bother with the BLM updated rivalry between Jacob and Ishmael [whose descendants will be "like wild asses - their hands against every man, and every man's hand against them"]. And he didn't mention Lot negotiating with God to stop the fire and brimstone if there were 10 good men in Sodom. We have Trump who said at the rally: "They ask me, 'HOW DO I TAKE IT?' [I say] What choice do I have?'" THE LAST STAND OF CONVICTION.

As long as their leaders, the Democrat mayors, say it is OK and let them.
This is 100% on the Democrat mayors, and they are assisting in this destruction.
