Capitol’s Confederate cleansing poses difficult decisions for Democrats
 
By Seth McLaughlin and David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Thursday, August 17, 2017

Cleansing the Capitol of blemishes of American history could be a hard task.

As Democratic leaders threw their support Thursday behind a proposal to take down any statue connected with the Confederacy, President Trump wondered where they would draw the line.

Sen. Cory A. Booker, the New Jersey Democrat who called for culling the Confederacy, did not say what should be done about Richard Stockton, a slave owner who is one of his state’s contributions to the Capitol Collection.

Take them all down. Take down every statue that reminds anyone of the civil war. ALL of them. Including the Lincoln Memorial.

And shove them up the asses of the people like Sen. Cory A. Booker.

Washington D.C. was around long before the Civil War, yet it is full of monuments in the form of buildings like the US Capital, the White House, to name JUST two. Since of these monuments to American history were built by black slaves, if we followed the lunacy going around we should tear them down too.

That is their ultimate goal. Tear it all down and then live in caves. There ain't a one of them that can build anything.

Thanks for the link.
