And these people never give consideration to how people in the future or the past might view them. People from 100 years ago would be shocked at the vulgarity, sexual promiscuity, selfishness and all around rudeness today. Who knows how people in the future will view people today.

I think a lot has to do with moving out of small towns. When there is a community in the big cities it is an echo chamber. You aren't stuck with all walks of life. You don't have to deal with these people every day so you can't go around being a jerk.

Let his statue remain so all those coffee-drinkin' hipsters with their skinny jeans and lumbersexual beards can remember the embalmed dingleberry who founded a country we ultimately defeated without directly firing a single shot at it. (More or less.)

Yeah, except somehow (sadly) we became the country we fought against.

I know. It infuriates me how this country is falling further and further down the rabbit hole of totalitarianism. And instead of trying to stop its demise, the GOP seems to be aiding the Democrat Party in hurrying it along. It makes me sick to my stomach!
