Quote:New York’s City Council — which just passed a budget that’s already been deemed a flop — is now spending some of its time advancing a plan that could kill off monuments honoring figures such as George Washington.

The Democratic-led council’s Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing Tuesday on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington, Peter Stuyvesant and Christopher Columbus because of their controversial pasts.

But critics immediately branded the effort as cancel culture run amok.

“Columbus was a migrant!’’ fumed Angelo Vivolo, president of the Columbus Heritage Coalition.

I have several thoughts about it. But mainly, just grateful that I don’t live there. God have mercy on the people that do.

They are crying about how their financial situation is in dire straits but they can pay for these symbols to be removed. More Big Brother.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell, “1984”

IMO, it's all on them. They voted for the nonsense. They can own it.

Probably the first strike for incoming nukes. Works for me.

Translation: steal the artwork and put it in someone’s private collection.

True. But at least to me, that doesn’t contradict what I said.

The democrats will probably replace the statue of George Washington with a statue of Jussie Smollett.

No doubt, I didn't intend for my response to rebuke anything you said. I was just saying, "so be it". That's all.
