For many years I've heard Liberal-Muslim-Lovers proclaim that if we do this or that "we" are no better than the terrorists ... blah, blah, blah ....
If we are really discussing the suppression of 1st amendment rights then I think some here would believe that the statue was way more important that those people who were run over. Originally Posted by JCM800

ISIS et all has done the same thing in Iraq, while, of course, killing thousands of people who opposed their "dominance" ...
You are no better than they are. You are destroying a part of the history of this country, because you don't like the history and the history is offensive to you. Do you actually believe by destroying monuments, statues, and flags you are going to change minds and influences ideas.
You and yours criticize others for doing the very thing you honor and support. I happen to respect Martin Luther King and for what he stood. I would be opposed to destroying his statues and monuments to his life and cause, not because I respect him, but because he is an important part of this country's history and his images and memories ought to be preserved, if for no other reason than to remind us for what he stood and against what he fought. The same with the "Confederate" representatives ... as we sit here today and listen to California Liberals blabbering about separating from the United States.
Trumped called for everyone to get along with each other regardless of our differences and as he has said many times before and after his election: we all bleed the same red blood. The only thing "dividing" about him as far as all you whining Liberals is ... he won and your candidate didn't ... that's the bottom line of all this bullshit.
