I feel like I’m going insane.

Why are they getting away with this?

Why are Corporate America, Academia, and Establishment Politicians supporting this?

Where is the fricking silent majority? Being the majority doesn’t mean shite if you’re silent.

It has to end.

Remember when principled independent moderate posters repeatedly swore that only statues of Confederates treasonous to the US would be taken down?

This entire movement is a leftist political one intent on destroying Western culture. Some of us recognized it for what it is from the beginning. Many others were quite naive or dishonest.

Your headline is totally misleading. It's not TR that's objectionable, it's the fact that the statue is of him riding on a horse, with a native american and an african american flanking him, on foot. pretty obvious symbolism, there...

If they were attempting to take down a statue of Teddy by himself, you'd have an argument.

They're silent because they don't want to lose their careers. Hopefully they'll speak VERY loudly in November.

I agree that the statue removal is ridiculous, but Teddy Roosevelt was the swine who arguably did more to promote big government and federal overreach than any other president. Just because he was a "man's man" doesnt make him a good president.

You do know Roosevelt was a bounty hunter when he was in Deadwood? Are we going to take down the Friendship Tower also?

So shouldn’t all historically accurate items be left? I mean it’s not imagery

Who cares if he was a good president? He’s a president.

Why rewrite history?

Grant’s tomb in Manhattan has been a place for trash to urinate and spray paint for decades, and sadly it’s going to get worse than that.

It is time to strike back. Where is that ridiculous Satan statue? Bill Clinton? Obama?

Burn some BLM and ANTIFA flags and maybe some media ones like CNN. If they don't like it, too damn bad.

Yep. When dictatorships take over, one of the first things that happens is that all history is erased. If people are ignorant of the past, they can't learn from it. I think that's the general idea, anyway. That, and they don't want anyone being recognized but themselves.

What's incredible about this situation in America, is that we don't have a dictator in the oval office. But he (Trump) is surrounded by so many deranged wannabe dictators, that all of this is being allowed to happen.

But, the important thing that I keep reminding myself, is that we're just seeing the craziest of the crazies, and they are the minority. Come November, we're going to see the backlash hit the Democrats in the face. And, I do believe that since Trump took office, we've been witnessing a slow unmasking of the underbelly of Washington, that many of us refer to as the deep state (I clarify the meaning of deep state because someone recently was very confused and seemed utterly clueless as to what the DS is).

I know we all want to see everyone arrested at once, but just like a sting operation, you don't want to blow your cover until you have enough information on the top targets of your investigation. When that is accomplished, there is going to be retribution for all that we are seeing now.

I also remember them and others, i.e. Landrieu, saying “they belong in a museum”. Now they are removing a statue from literally a museum.
