I am going to start signing every one of these because the more of these there are and the more support they seem to get the more normal people will hate liberals

How desperate are you to push a narrative that your editor okayed a story that is centered around a petition that has 42 signatures after 8 days at the time of writing this?

Most of which seem to be trolls based on the comments.

Awesome. This should work well actually. Let's go ahead and end all entitlement and welfare programs created during FDRs tenure.




Well, I don't believe that's gonna happen. Those programs were never meant to to be expansive as they are today. SS was never meant to be "retirement" but now omg "it was promised by god" mob mentality.

FDR believed you pulled yourself up by bootstraps. Entitlements were meant as "Great Depression" aid. Still, he opened the pandora box. Taking him out, JFK and Lyndon Johnson would be worth losing the Confederate states over.

How desperate you are to "whistle pass the graveyard" and give FDR a pass? The petition was in the NY Post and I link stories of interest.

Like all of the other useless threads you post here, they are completely lacking in context. If you had actually read the articles you posted beyond the first few sentences that fit your narrative, you would have a much more sound argument.

Well I certainly don't doubt this board would have interest in anything that furthers the false equivalency nonsense their god emperor signaled for them to seek.

Pretty much seems like their full time job at this point for a handful of them.

Doesn't make writing a story about a petition with 42 signatures, mostly from trolls, and framing it without that context any less ridiculous.

For the record, I'm probably one of the most hated by the Trump crowd. My stance is about preserving history. Now, the truth is Jefferson, Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt are under threat in dozens on cities and so is Washington now.

There is no other way to fight back then going after the racist icons of the left. You have to match fire with fire.

History is not taught through the shrines we erect and names we give to places. It is taught through education and books.

With that said, this has 42 signatures. I bet you could find more people that believe eating their own shite is healthy and tasty then the number of genuine signees of that petition.

There is no legitimate threat of removal for monuments of Jefferson; FDR, and Teddy. Hell there wasn't even a ton of momentum for removing confederate statues either until a bunch of white supremacists went and helped make the case for the niche of people arguing in part that the monuments were shrines for white supremacists.

Though I will say one of the ironies of people protecting these memorials is that often the people that are being memorialized would be advocating for their removal. Or at a minimum be opposed to their existence in the first place. Like Jefferson or Robert E Lee.
