On Tuesday, radical D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton announced that she intends to introduce legislation to remove the statue.

If they must tear it down, I hope they throw her arse under and she gets flattened.

These are elected officials, folks.

Guess they forgot to read the plaque that explains the statue was commissioned by ex-slaves?

They tore down the abolitionist in Madison last night.

Obviously, every statue is in real danger at this point.

It's not about slavery. It's about the snuffing out of American icons for the advancement of Marxism.

In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever.

The first time i went there was on my first trip to DC. Woke up for an early morning jog with the intent of stopping by there. had the entire temple to myself.

Ive seen a lot of amazing things in my life but the Lincoln Monument is truly one of the most amazing. What these idiots are doing will have some seriously unintended consequences if they keep it up.

You can bet the police will be out in full-force if a group of concerned citizens showed up with guns to protect this monument, and the concerned citizens would be seen as the bad guys.

There is a huge statue inside the memorial. I expect it to be ripped down any day.

It is if it's an organized mob....like this one.
Which would then fall into conspiracy to commit acts of crime which is an additional crime usually carrying stiff penalties like 20 year sentences.

God damn right. I’m ready pour a big fat bourbon, crank up the TV, and try not to grin while watching National Guard troops exhaust themselves from swinging nightsticks at the skulls of spoiled-rotten sanctimonious malcontents.

I’ve said multiple times that you can’t whitewash parts of history without erasing other parts. If you want to erase any vestige of civil war era memorials, you end up destroying the foundations of the civil rights movement. History is like a book, and when you start tearing out chapters and pages, the story no longer makes sense. You can’t tell the story of the civil rights movement without telling the story of the civil war, reconstruction and the Jim Crow era.
