    Just as many predicted that when the hysteria of removing Confederate statues came about, it has now come down to the Founding Fathers. Already leftist commentators and some leftist politicians are calling for the removal of memorials or statues of our Founding Fathers. I am trying to be good understanding Christian on this issue, but now this is a step too far. They are trying to expunge all we hold dear in this nation and I will not stand idly by and let it happen. I will go and protest this latest madness and then fight them in the streets if I have to prevent this from happening. Enough is enough!

    Careful. You are approaching the charge "Nazi sympathizer". If we have learned anything it is to remain silent or be labeled with the haters.

    So be it. At some point we all must stand up and be counted and I would call myself a patriot as others would be in taking this stance. These are leftist communists who want to continue on with the "fundamental transformation" of our nation that was put in motion by their "Dear Leader" Obama. Nope, the buck stops here.

    The protests to take down these statues is a small part of the bigger agenda. It is done mainly by marixists who want to erase our history and justify getting rid of the constitution. Further, it is about race as the people who are calling for their removal by and large are racists.

    If they take down Lee, Longstreet, Jackson, and Forrest; then by all means take down Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson.

    When President Obama ran for President he said he wanted to "fundamentally change America."

    He has done so. He has divided us. He has undone most of the progress made by Martin Luther King, Jr. He has promoted rioting in the streets and encouraged the murder of police officers and invited the terrorist organization guilty of that crime to the White House.

    And the majority of the American people are too stupid to realize that "United we stand, divided we fall." We are no longer the UNITED States of America. :(

    B.H. Obama was and is a Communist. His goal was to destroy The United States.

    Obama used to say that he loved America and then in the next breath he said his goal was to fundamentally change her. That's patently ridiculous. If you love someone or something, you accept them or it as they are, not what you want them to be. All I can say is thank God that he is gone.

    Libs like to try to have it both ways. They cannot justify their positions otherwise.

    I agree that if you are going to take down Confederate history, then you have to raze the Lincoln Memorial and take down Union history also or else the Union will look especially imperialistic and petty and something never needed by the Antifa in the past or in the present or in the future.
