What's even more pathetic is now it's apparently a hate crime to clean up Black Lives Matter Graffiti but vandalizing national monuments is OK.

The Democrats have gone off the rails, they were full fledged evil psychopaths by this point. I really fear for our country if they retake control in November.

reply

After what Dick Cheney and Dementia Reagan and this idiot rump, et al, have done to this country, you're afraid of a statue coming of a has-been movie actor coming down? What should really make you afraid is your lack of a grasp of what's really going on around you. Dems are working hard to see everyone gets a decent education and people aren't left behind in an ever increasing lack of opportunity and disappearing Middle Class.
But it's too easy for dullards to claim any social strife on Democrats in general. Your party creates an ugly world, the rest of us react to it, and you're so worried that people are showing their discontent. Pathetic.

Lol your side is supporting anarchists and terrorists and allowed CHOP to go on far longer than it should have. Your side has allowed innocent people to die and for people to lose their homes and businesses who had nothing to do with George Floyd’s murder. The Democrats are a bunch of evil scumbags, all the right wants to do is restore law and order and protect law abiding citizens, the left wants law abiding citizens to die while thugs get away with murder

reply

John Wayne was a draft dodge, therefore a coward. Also, the OP supports statues for Hitler, al-Zarqawi, Bin -Laden and confederate officers who attacked the United States of America. Only real Americans who deserve statues should be honored with them.

Educational objects are placed in museums.

reply

John Wayne's statue is because of his contributions to film.

reply

This^^

reply

John Wayne films are dated and mediocre. Nobody watches them anymore. Put Marion's statue in the museum where it belongs.

reply

That is your opinion. Most people disagree with you.

reply

"Most people disagree with you. "

Link?

reply

No, YOU provide the link that backs up your claims about his films being 'dated' and 'mediocre'. Dated? All films become dated, you jackass. Mediocre? Hardly. Many of his films are great. That's my opinion, of course. John Wayne's crime is being white and pro-American. THAT is why you want to tear down his statue.

reply

No draft-dodger is pro-American.

There is a difference between "dated" and "old" Einstein.

If his crappy movies were popular, then they would be playing on TV. There is plenty of Harry Potter, superhero flicks, Hunger Games and even those Twilight movies. No Wayne. You only like him because he was a racist like yourself.

reply

Hahaha! Keelai actually wanted you to send a link of people disagreeing with his opinion?!!!

This just in from MSNBC (obviously Keelai’s News channel): “Headline - The People Disagree with Keelai about John Wayne!!!”

That statement is one of the many reasons you know this person is completely off the reservation! 🤣

Hitler did nothing to contribute anything good to society as far as I know.washington Lincoln and Columbus did.Without Columbus there would be no America.Whatever their past transgressions they deserve to be remembered for the good they did.

reply

Columbus committed genocide. He profited off the sex trade of 13-year old girls. He chopped off the hands of indigenous boys and men who could not reach his monthly gold "quota". Columbus discovered nothing. He exploited and stole. He was a sadistic criminal.

Your defense to honor a man who raped and tortured says plenty about your morality and ethics - or lack of.

reply

Genocide? Where do you come up with this?

reply

You admit that you don't know history.

reply

No, I admit the word 'genocide' is overused and not applicable in most situations. America is accused of genocide against Native Americans, which is completely false. Most of them died because of exposure to disease they had no immunity for. Over 90%.
How did Columbus commit genocide? As you see it!

reply

You're defending genocide! You must be a Holocaust denier, too.

reply

You didn't answer the question.

reply

He admits he doesn't know much.

reply

Obviously, he doesn't.

He's also very hateful and believes genocide is fine - just don't call it by that name when it's carried out.

reply

And still your standing on the very ground something he did provided for you.I don't know the full history of the man but for this one gigantic contribution to society he should be remembered.

reply

Yes, he was a great explorer, which is why we remember him. His expeditions were daring and dangerous and should be celebrated.

reply

Besides like I said statues are not meant to be worshipped their meant to represent a piece of are past for educational purposes.not all of are past is good.We should be taught about all of are history good and bad.

reply

Statues are to honor a person.

You admit that you don't know history. Open a good history book and read it. Looking at a statue doesn't teach you anything.

reply

He profited off the sex trade of 13-year old girls.


Sounds like Trump's friend Jeffrey ("I hardly knew him!") Epstein. I wonder when Trumptoads demand a statue of him be erected ? Mar-A-Largo would be an ideal place.

I hope those educational "staues" can teach you the difference between "staues" and "statues", "their" and "they're", "were" and "we're", and the use of punctuation before you post again.

reply

LOL. Perfect response.

reply

My God, making sense out of his posts is like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle with a blindfold on.

reply

Not the best type or speller but I stand by my point

reply

Your point is wrong since you fail to understand the purpose for statues.

reply

I don't know what statues mean to you.to me they are educational.i don't worship the Lincoln statue.i recognize it as part of are history.An important part of our history that deserves to be recorded.Unless you don't consider the freeing of slaves to be worth remembering.The man made an important historical decision that's worth honoring.

reply

You worship a statue, but you're completely clueless about American values and principles. Open up a book and read it!

reply

I read an article written back in 2014 when this BS statue-attacking started, stating that the mob attacks statues because they're too big of cowards to attack real people. They know the real source of their ire will fight back, complete with guns. So they attack statues instead, because they know the statues won't defend themselves. They also think erasing American history through destruction of specific monuments will be the ultimate revenge against their enemies, when in fact, it'll just embolden the other side. It would be the ultimate revenge to wait until the mob frenzy dies down, and then put back up all the statues that were torn down >:).
