2020-06-21 Fifth Column
A List Of All The Monuments Liberals Want To Tear Down So Far
From 2017 courtesy of JohnQC in comments yesterday. Posted so as to have a searchable list to compare to current Fifth Column events.
[Federalist] In the wake of the violence that took place in Charlottesville over last weekend, numerous activists and politicians have called for the destruction of more historical monuments, although a significant majority of Americans (62 percent) think the monuments should stay put. Only 27 percent of Americans think these statues should be removed for fear of offending some people. As usual, public opinion’s not stopping liberals from pursuing an unpopular agenda.

Though by no means comprehensive, here’s a list of the monuments that are facing calls for removal or have already been torn down.

1. The Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC

2. Confederate statues In The Capitol

3. Mount Rushmore

4. Monuments In Baltimore

5. Stone Mountain

6. Albert Pike Statue In Washington DC

7. Chicago Parks Named After Washington And Jackson

8. Confederate Soldiers Monument In Durham, North Carolina

9. Monuments Throughout The State of North Carolina

10. Monuments Throughout The State of Virginia

11. ‘Old Joe’ Statue In Gainesville, Florida

12. Confederate statues In Lexington, Kentucky

13. Statues In Louisville, Kentucky

14. Statues In Nashville Tennessee, Including One On Private Property

15. Two Statues Vandalized In Wilmington, North Carolina

16. A Cemetery Marker In Los Angeles

#1 Well, they're not liberals. However the liberals refused to fight for that name letting the radical Left take it. Instead they moved over to the other party and called themselves 'Republicans', see - Romney et al, and the country club GOPe said nothing. That's how you got Trump. They're Vandals, destroyers of civilization, and want to usher in another thousand years of darkness.

But they are doing a pretty darn good impersonation.

#7 They defaced the statue of Cervantes in San Francisco. Why Cervantes? He was enslaved by Moorish Barbary pirates. His very existence gives the lie to the current BLM narrative, so he must be cancelled.

#8 At this point there is no logic or understanding (and may never have been.) Everything about the past is bad, and that's about as far as it goes.
