You Cannot Make This UP: DC Wants to Remove...the Washington Monument
Matt Vespa

Posted: Sep 01, 2020 2:30 PM

I know we’re all talking about Joe Biden’s speech in Pittsburgh, which once again showed that his mind has devolved into applesauce, along with the leftist riots that continue to engulf the nation, but we have new political correctness news. Apparently, a DC committee convened by Mayor Muriel Bowser has recommended that the Washington Monument, among other federal memorials in the city, should be marked for removal, relocation, or contextualization. No, you cannot make this up (via WaPo):

Quote
    A committee reporting to D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser recommends renaming dozens of public schools, parks and government buildings in the nation’s capital, after studying the historical namesakes’ connections to slavery and oppression.

    The honorees whom the committee says should not have public works named for them include presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson; Revolutionary leader Benjamin Franklin; inventor Alexander Graham Bell; and national anthem writer Francis Scott Key.

    “We believe strongly that all District of Columbia owned public spaces, facilities and commemorative works should only honor those individuals who exemplified those values such as equity, opportunity and diversity that DC residents hold dear,” the committee’s chairs, Bowser advisor Beverly Perry and public library director Richard Reyes-Gavilan, wrote in a letter introducing their report.

This is not parody...

The Washington, DC government wants to remove the Washington monument.

This July, I tasked the DCFACES Working Group with evaluating public spaces to ensure the namesake's legacy is consistent with #DCValues.

They have delivered the report, and I look forward to reviewing and advancing their recommendations.

This is crap. Pure and simple. This is about the erasure of American history, so for all those folks who decided to sit out and let these clowns take down Confederate statues because these were bad, bad people, well, this was the only logical conclusion of that push. It was never about the Confederacy. This is about our history, our founding, and the Left’s prolonged attempt to wipe it away and rewrite it through an insane woke lens. And whether we like it or not, the Confederacy is part of American history. In fact, it’s a huge part, being that the civil war was probably one of the most moral conflicts this nation ever fought. Also, the Confederacy produced some of the finest military officers this nation ever produced.

But attacking them was just the first salvo with regards to their real target: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers.

This idiot mayor and city council are so damn ignorant. They don’t seem to understand that while administering the affairs of the city may be their rightful responsibility DC isnt theirs to do over. It’s ours.

Aren't the monuments part of the National Park system? If so than what right do these communists think they have to do anything? Put US Marshals on the ground and let them try.

White House rips D.C. plan to remove Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial

 By Dave Boyer - The Washington Times - Tuesday, September 1, 2020

The White House slammed Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday night for a “ludicrous” plan to remove, relocate or “contextualize” the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial and other monuments in the nation’s capital.

“By publishing a plan that recommends potentially removing the Washington Monument, Christopher Columbus Statue, Andrew Jackson Statue, and Jefferson Memorial — among many other ludicrous recommendations — the radically liberal mayor of Washington, D.C., is repeating the same left-wing narrative used to incite dangerous riots: demolishing our history and destroying our great heritage,” said White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

She said “as long as President Trump is in the White House, the mayor’s irresponsible recommendations will go absolutely nowhere, and as the mayor of our Nation’s capital city — a city that belongs to the American people — she ought to be ashamed for even suggesting them for consideration.”

And now that Trump has taken a position, half the country will feel compelled to tear down the monuments.  We are living in stupid times.

She'll probably get 80-90% of the vote in the next mayoral election. Remember Marion Barry? Some cities love to elect crooks and scoundrels.

When DC voted on Home Rule, I knew it would eventually go badly. Maybe they should change the name of the place as well, if they want to eliminate a monument erected to a man who not only fought in battle to help create, but helped guide this country through its early days as its President, WHILE REFUSING TO BE KING.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No surprise,there. They are "dreamers" not "doers".

Besides,they probably heard their mamas calling them home for lunch.

Adults, anyway, regardless of appearance or genetics (so long as the cretins and morons are not in office).
