Lenin statue might come down
Red Tom might be really mad at Jack Posobiec now.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray expressed his displeasure in a Confederate statue Lake View Cemetery on Wednesday. Now, on Thursday, he’s officially asking for its removal. That and the removal of the Lenin statue in Fremont.

I never liked his music anyway.

RE: Lenin statue might come down
My questions is: Why would anyone think it would be a good idea to place a statue of a person like Lenin in the US? What is Lenin's contribution to our way of life other than being a symbol for the Liberal Left.

You get to read Huck Finn because you tolerate Lolita.
One book burner is as bad as the next. Dumb move.
What does this Mayor and everyone else not understand about private property.

Frankly, none of the statues should come down.
Does the U.S. flag offend some people?
Does the Constitution offend some people?
Does the Bible offend some people?
See the progression here?

I think the place for them is the battlefields. Those who fought at Shiloh should be at Shiloh, those who fought at Manassas should be at Manassas, and so forth. Putting monuments in cities where they had no real contact does not make a lot of sense.

As I'm from the south I'd like to see all union statues in the north moved to a museum. Isn't my opinion as valid as yours?

Now there's an idea with a ton of merit.

V.I. Lenin represents -- to me -- human evil distilled to its purest essence. But I can honestly say that if the City of Seattle or anybody else wants to have a statue of him...... whatever.

RE: Lenin statue might come down
I'm the same. We have that Satanic monument here. I don't have to go visit it. And if I do, I don't have to be supportive of it.
Same with the 10 Commandment monument. Visit, don't visit, and freely have your own personal view of it.
Any monument.
This tit for tat coming from the right now is short sighted and dumb.

Republicans have sat back and taken the crap the democrat left has shoved down our throats for years, choosing what they perceive as the high road I reckon. What has that done other than emboldened the left even more?
I suspect the tit for tat is meant to highlight the on-going hypocrisy and hysteria of the left on full display.

RE: Lenin statue might come down
back in aught ten we were celebrating nye in manhattan. on the lower east side or something one of our friends lived. going back to her place for an after after party, which was modest and low key, we went out on the roof top and there is a giant lenin statue. we were in so called red square. i had just finished reading atlas shrugged so i yawned in front of the statue for my photo op. i probably should have wept

...is XACLY! the premise I came with when DJT announced....
after ~1 mo., he tossed small hands in the air and said to himself, "**** me, I gotta follow thru on this one too"
at this point in history, his moves have been by design more than most will acknowledge....the beauty of that, is all the dipshites are now in a tither when 'thingys' are actually being corrected...
