Here is the list of Americans that will be in the new statue park

Audie Murphy is a good one! Wouldn’t have thought of him.

Scalia!

I could argue against some on that list, and argue for many more not listed.

But overall it is fine. I am in the afterglow of that magnificent speech so I will save my more detailed thoughts for later.

:usa:

Lincoln but no Lee?

Good to see a Tennessean, Davy Crockett, on that list

So... all white men?

Christa McAuliffe? I know she died in the space shuttle challenger explosion but greatest American? You put her in there but leave off Neil Armstrong?? WTF?

Is this a public or private endeavor? I’m not a fan of the proposal if it is to be funded by taxpayers.

Not particularly because of any of the names listed here — but because progs idolize filthy degenerates and will push for their inclusion in such a space. No matter how good and decent the initial idea, anything progs touch, they will destroy.

I'll add

Abraham Woodhall-Culper spy ring that led to many US victories in the American Revolution.

Ida B Wells - first Rosa Parks, Republican journalist that would later be a leader in the civil rights for Blacks.

Mary Jackson- First Female American engineer that worked for NASA and helped get us to the moon

Sacajawea - we know why. Damn white boys would have been lost without her.

Eddie Robinson - Arguably one of the greatest FB coaches ever and without a doubt the best Black FB coach in history.

I also wouldn't mind all the confederate statues placed in a museum. I'll even allow BLM leaders to write the plaques and allow them to throw multicolored paint balloons. That way they can take out some built-up frustration but also support LGBTQ.

Kidding aside they should remain intact, but in a museum, so future generations can learn of the mistakes, inaction, and one of the few failures of the founding fathers when they didn't abolish slavery from the start.

Need Jesse Owens bigly

ETA - yep and Lindy
