    The very last straw...

    This magnificent bronze statue of Theodore Roosevelt, my boyhood, & lifelong, hero, to be torn down to placate the rioters, looters, arsonists of BLM. The African & Indian were included by the artist to symbolize TR's sincere RESPECT for their cultures, but try explaining that to the mindless mobs that have terrorized NYC for the last 3 wks, aided & abetted by the mayor & his Negro wife.

      Soft spot for TR for bringing back the knife bayonet.

              Of course the ignorant, mindless, barbarians Togor defends can't be expected to know (having received a public school education) that TR was the ORIGINAL "Progressive."

                Taken down for it's imagery of "hierarchical composition". What is the point of a statue, other than to give it hierarchical composition. He was an important figure, though his decedents agree with the decision to remove the statue. Guess it will go somewhere else.

                  25,000 idiots(or flatEarthers) have "signed" a petition to change the name of Columbus, Ohio. I guess it won't be long before White People will be referred to as, "the evil ones". If you have any empathy, next weekend go to the cemetery and push over your grandfathers headstone.

                    The new name of our state capital will be "Goofyville" consider the type of liberals that govern the city and have for some time.

                      -though his decedents agree with the decision to remove the statue.- Because they love it. Maybe buried like the terracotta army.

                        Some of the statue pullers are just playing the odds with a given bronze, true. But that doesn't obscure the fact that for some statues the living case for their removal exceeds that for keeping them on public display. You're free to push the 2020 election as a referendum on returning the Confederacy to its former glory if you like.

                            Wonderful example of Togor's warped reasoning: preventing destruction of historic public monuments equals (to him) "returning the Confederacy to its former glory."

                              Not the best solution to the problem; City, state, fed. Gov't's remove "ALL" statues in American and put in storage. Starting with MLK statues and see what the BLM does next.
