Rising star from South Dakota: Kristi Noem shows how it's done
2020-06-25
[American Thinker] In the midst of a lot of disheartening news with rampaging mobs destroying displays of America's heritage, a point of light is standing out: South Dakota's governor, Kristi Noem.

Writer Ben Shapiro brought up that with Washington, Jefferson and other statues being toppled, maybe Mount Rushmore would be targeted next.

Which was like balm on a bleeding wound, given that these "trained Marxists" as they call themselves, have targeted Lincoln, Cervantes, the World War II monument, U.S. Grant, St. Junipero Serra, Mattis Baldwin, Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt and other truly beloved and admirable figures in America's heritage, not because they have any serious reason, but because their aim is to humiliate America. That's why they don't target the Lenin statue in Seattle, to take but one example. They also know that with blue-city and blue-state officials at the helm, they will not only let them attack America's beloved symbols, they will take a knee to them for doing it. It's as vile a racket as any on earth.

Which explains why South Dakota's governor's response was so important. Build something in South Dakota for posterity, expect that posterity will actually be able to view it. Some things are stable. Some institutions are strong. Some ladies aren't for turning.

Noem stands as a rock in a sea of human jellyfish.

#5  The same way that temporary 4 6 8 year residents of an educational institute 180 years old think they should have the right to rename it?

#4  O.K. I have to ask the questions, "Where did these self-righteous pricks get the idea to think they have the moral superiority and right to tear down monuments placed by someone else? At the same why do these looney left politicians think they have the right to abet these mobs by doing nothing and encouraging it to happen?

#3  At Mt. Rushmore, they need armed guards on top ready to stop any vandals trying to deface the monuments.

Same with down below. And stopping means stopping with armed force if necessary.

And countermeasures against drones.

#2  Could be humorous Skid. I have trouble thinking these black-clad Antifa trouble-makers would be welcome at the event.

Yeah, Kristi Noem is doing a good job--she does not cave to the mob as do Blue State or city leaders-in-name-only (LINOs).
