Quote:I know we’re all talking about Joe Biden’s speech in Pittsburgh, which once again showed that his mind has devolved into applesauce, along with the leftist riots that continue to engulf the nation, but we have new political correctness news. Apparently, a DC committee convened by Mayor Muriel Bowser has recommended that the Washington Monument, among other federal memorials in the city, should be marked for removal, relocation, or contextualization. No, you cannot make this up (via WaPo):

A committee reporting to D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser recommends renaming dozens of public schools, parks and government buildings in the nation’s capital, after studying the historical namesakes’ connections to slavery and oppression.

The honorees whom the committee says should not have public works named for them include presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson; Revolutionary leader Benjamin Franklin; inventor Alexander Graham Bell; and national anthem writer Francis Scott Key.

“We believe strongly that all District of Columbia owned public spaces, facilities and commemorative works should only honor those individuals who exemplified those values such as equity, opportunity and diversity that DC residents hold dear,” the committee’s chairs, Bowser advisor Beverly Perry and public library director Richard Reyes-Gavilan, wrote in a letter introducing their report.

This is crap. Pure and simple. This is about the erasure of American history, so for all those folks who decided to sit out and let these clowns take down Confederate statues because these were bad, bad people, well, this was the only logical conclusion of that push. It was never about the Confederacy. This is about our history, our founding, and the Left’s prolonged attempt to wipe it away and rewrite it through an insane woke lens. And whether we like it or not, the Confederacy is part of American history. In fact, it’s a huge part, being that the civil war was probably one of the most moral conflicts this nation ever fought. Also, the Confederacy produced some of the finest military officers this nation ever produced.

But attacking them was just the first salvo with regards to their real target: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the rest of the Founding Fathers.

This is why DC can never be a state.

Simple solution disband DC give the MD territory back to MD let it become part of Columbia, give the VA territory back to VA it can become part of Arlington or Alexandria. The Federal buildings would be policed by capital police and secret service, they would have jurisdiction over streets that connect federal property as well. It's a win/win DC residents get the House and Senate representation they've been demanding and the rest of the US can enjoy the elimination of one of the worst run cities in the US.

Remove, relocate or contextualize....what the heck does “contextualize” them even mean?

Stop the Earth...I want off.

It probably just means putting up a plaque explaining all of Washington's faults.

Arlington is the Virginia part. It was given back 200 years ago.

That's why DC is 67 square miles instead of the original 100.

Someone should probably tell those dolts that the National Mall and Monument Parks (you know, where the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial, etc are located) are not only federally owned but are in fact part of the administration of the National Park Service.

Stupid really should hurt.

This has GOT to stop

Remember when it was just those mean old Confederate soldiers.

They want war.

Maryland already has three senators. NM's Jr. (Dem) senator moved their permanently in 2013.

Seems like I remember someone saying they’d come for Washington and jefferson. Can’t remember who it was that said it, but I know he was mocked by the libtards for it. Maybe it was the guy who currently occupies Gw & TJs old office. Does this ring a bell for anyone else?

Let's see....hes magnificent and orange

I've got a better idea. Name the new sewage plant the Muriel Bowser sh!thouse.

They've all gone mental. Maroons, all of them.

In her thinking she would probably would want to erect a statue of Krappernick. Betcha.

Or it becomes the Slavery Memorial Monument (there could still be a plaque explaining all of Washington's faults)

If the Dems don't like the Father of America, they should all move somewhere else and start their own country. Please. Go. I promise we will be better off without each and every one of you here.
