North of Vancouver is a park dedicated to Jefferson Davis. In King County is a statue of Lenin. Both of these are on private party so only people who wish to destroy the Bill of Rights would venture a proposition to destroy objects on a person property.
The 21st century is in danger of becoming an era of statue smashing and historical erasure. Not since the iconoclasts of the Byzantine Empire or the epidemic of statue destruction during the French Revolution has the world seen anything like the current war on the past.
In 2001, the primeval Taliban blew up two ancient Buddha statues in Afghanistan on grounds that their very existence was sacrilegious to Islam.
In 2015, ISIS militants entered a museum in Mosul, Iraq, and destroyed ancient, pre-Islamic statues and idols. Their mute crime? These artifacts predated the prophet Mohammed.
The West prides itself on the idea that liberal societies would never descend into such nihilism. Think again.

1) I've denounced all the violence that has occurred during this - haven't heard you denounce the Lefty violence and intolerance once.
2) I've outright asked you if you support these violent protests, paid actors, bussing people in and you deflect. - Do you support those actions?
Two simple questions, please answer them.
1. Oh, so you are trying to do the "oh but what about you?" thing? Really, this isn't about places like Ferguson but about a place called Charlottesville, VA, where someone rammed a car into a crowd of peaceful protestors. Those places shouldn't be in this debate because then you are just trying to change the subject here? Also, I already stated my opinion a few pages back.
2. What violent protest? And who the fuck are paying these protesters- and damn if that is a job that must be really paying well since people are willing to get arrested for - then how much do you think they are paying each people?
For the record, I've denounced the car guy.
You don't get to pick ignore the violence of Berkeley, Ferguson, Dallas, and Congressional Assassination attempts because one bad whitey drove a car into a crowd. I know you're on here making this fight because you feel like for one of the few times since the election you have moral high ground. I just wish you were more consistent like BroGrump and Monte. They are solid Lefties, and I like them, because they stand up for their convictions even when they have a bad hand dealt to them.
Penner, you're the free loader that only stays at the party while the drinks are free.
Hmm, not so keen to denounce the Yellow shirt violence in France though were you Carlus.
I remember back in the good old days when only primitives like the cave-dwelling Taliban had to destroy sculptures.
That was before the progressive religion took root in the American psyche and demanded history be purged by "justice".

You are not allowed to worship any thing that isn't allowed in their "religion", such things at sinful and just be destroyed/purged.
...The witch, sorry - "alt-right nazi", burnings and drownings will be commencing soon for those who may be guilty of adhering to any other religious ideologies deemed "offensive".
