Leftists Ceremonially Desecrate Robert E. Lee Statue

It doesn’t suffice for the giants of American history to be erased. First, their memory needs to be desecrated:

The statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that once stood in Charlottesville, Virginia, was secretly melted down at a ceremonial event.

Everyone knew that taking down statues of this great man would not be enough, because so long as progressives encounter minimal resistance, nothing is ever enough — not even this:

The Washington Post reported that “Swords Into Plowshares,” a project led by University of Virginia religious studies professor Jalane Schmidt and Charlottesville’s Black history museum executive director Andrea Douglas, “will turn bronze ingots made from molten Lee into a new piece of public artwork to be displayed in Charlottesville. They made arrangements for Lee to be melted down while they started collecting ideas from city residents for that new sculpture.”

The great man who fought honorably for his homeland Virginia was denounced as “White supremacist toxic waste.”

Coercively funded government media tells us to approve of our history being defiled and flushed away:

NPR also covered the event and credited Swords Into Plowshares for its efforts to “create a more inclusive public art installation.”

That which you don’t defend will be taken from you. Americans have failed to defend their heritage.

Other great Virginians (e.g., George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason) will meet the same fate and for the same reason. This process is already underway.

No great American will be spared, not even Lee’s adversary Abraham Lincoln.

In compensation, future generations will be offered George Floyd to venerate and emulate.

Liberals Cancel Robert E. Lee’s Horse

Liberals have not finished erasing Americans who fought for the South, but in their fanaticism have already begun to go after their horses:

Traveller, the horse which served Confederate General Robert E. Lee, has long been a fixture of campus culture at Washington and Lee University, as the famous steed, known for his courage and stamina, is buried on campus.

But Traveller’s Confederate connections recently led university officials to remove two markers erected in his honor, his gravestone as well as a plaque honoring the beloved companion. …

Traveller served Lee both during the Civil War and afterwards, when the ex-general became president of the then-Washington College. Lee was president from 1865 until his death in 1871. Traveller died a few months later.

Lee was a great man who defended his home, Virginia. For moonbats, that is all the more reason to erase him.

Here’s why Traveller has to go down the memory hole:

One campus tradition is to place apples and pennies beside Traveller’s gravestone.

The apples are “because horses like apples,” [Kamron] Spivey [president of Students for Historical Preservation] said, and the “pennies are sort of a shot at Lincoln and the Union, placing the coin tails-up so that Lincoln is essentially kissing the grave of a horse.”

Despite Lincoln himself having been denounced as a white supremacist and slated for cancelation (see here, here, here, and here), resistance sentiment cannot be allowed.

Leftists are devoid of tolerance and grace. Expect the name of the school to be changed before long.

Liberals’ compulsion to erase from existence anything they associate with opposition to their repugnant ideology is their most frightening characteristic.

The Graceless Fate of Famous Robert E. Lee Statue

Among the reasons that losing the Culture War is unthinkable is that leftists have no grace.

Following the Civil War, the USA was able to heal and unite because, aside from the carpetbagging, the South was treated with respect. If Lee did not understand Lincoln and Grant to be honorable men like himself, he might have fought a guerilla campaign to the last man before surrendering.

There aren’t many honorable men among leftists these days. For the moment, they have the upper hand politically. They are pressing their advantage to both humiliate and erase anyone they perceive as an opponent of their ideology.

This is what the absolute absence of grace looks like:

The statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that drew violent protests to Charlottesville, Virginia, will be melted down and turned into a new piece of public art by an African American heritage center.

Nothing could be more obscenely ugly than modern public art.

Liberals shrieked in outrage that Donald Trump must be evil incarnate when he graciously said there were fine people on both sides of the issue regarding the Lee statue. They hold that there can only be one side: their own.

The city council decided how to dispose of the now-removed statue at the center of the Unite the Right rally in 2017 during a meeting that stretched into Tuesday morning, The Daily Progress reported.

The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center will get its hands on the statue. Its executive director Andrea Douglas says that what they are going to do with it will “be more reflective of our entire community’s social values.” By the “entire community,” she means herself and those who are in lockstep with her ideology. Everyone else is a racist to be erased.

Barks Andrea,

“We’re giving people opportunities to engage with our own narratives and our own histories.”

They do this by erasing American history.

It didn’t take long for leftists to shift the focus of their hate from Robert E. Lee to the Founding Fathers and Christopher Columbus. We can only imagine what will be done with the statues of great men that Black Lives Matter and Antifa spent 2020 toppling and defacing with the liberal establishment’s approval.

Robert E. Lee Replaced by Obscure Schoolgirl

As the social engineers erase our heritage and replace it with their Cultural Marxist narrative, the giants of American history will be replaced by relatively insignificant people we never heard of before.

Regardless of what you think of the Confederacy, no reasonable person can deny that Robert E. Lee was a great and noble man and a key historical figure. He is being erased because of his association with the South. If you recognize the name of his replacement at the US Capitol, you should be on Jeopardy.

Via NBC News:

A statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee has been removed from the United States Capitol, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Monday.

Atta boy, Northam. You’ll make up for that blackface/KKK photo yet.

For 111 years, the statue stood alongside that of the nation’s first president, George Washington, as the state of Virginia’s contribution to the National Statuary Hall. Each state is allowed two statues in the collection.

Virginia plans to replace the statue of Lee with one of civil rights icon Barbara Johns.

Barbara Johns is said to have led a student strike at Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia in 1951. That gives her more cultural significance than Robert E. Lee, according to those rewriting our history.

I wonder who will replace the statues Black Lives Matter rioters have been tearing down of Lee’s fellow Virginians George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Greta Thunberg might be a candidate, if only she were a Schoolgirl of Color.

Pushback Saves William Penn From Biden Regime

The Democrat campaign to eradicate America by erasing its history has suffered a rare setback:

The National Park Service on Monday reversed its decision to tear down a statue of Pennsylvania founder William Penn at a historic park just days after a widespread public backlash against the Biden administration agency’s move began online.

The idea was to replace the revered hero Penn — whose only crimes were to be Caucasian and to represent American heritage — with taxpayer-funded propaganda celebrating Stone Age savagery.

The original plan to remove the statue in order to create a more “welcoming, accurate, and inclusive experience for visitors” was widely panned and ridiculed.

That ridicule must be relentless. Leftists were never likely to stop with statues of Robert E. Lee. All great Americans will be erased if we do not push back.

Muslim–Moonbat Alliance Attacks Ben Franklin

On the topic of how much the pro-Palestinian mob hates Jews, media darling Ahed Tamimi shrieks:

“What Hitler did to you is a joke [compared to what we’ll do to you], we will slaughter you, drink your blood and eat your skull.”

Jews happen to be on the front lines, but this applies to all of us who consider ourselves part of Western Civilization. We are infidels/colonizers and we must be eradicated. Here’s the alliance at work closer to home:

At least they didn’t splatter it in red paint and then smash the statue to bits, like Black Lives Matter peaceful protesters would have done. But give it time. All remnants of Ben Franklin and rest of the Founding Fathers will share the fate of the great Robert E. Lee. American heritage will be erased if unadulterated evil as represented by the alliance of Muslims and leftists prevails.

New York May Cancel George Washington

Everyone knew when Robert E. Lee was canceled that it was only the beginning. George Washington was also a great man and a Virginian, and also lived back when people had owned slaves throughout the world since before recorded history; therefore, in New York:

The city’s Cultural Affairs Committee has demanded the eviction of George Washington and Christopher Columbus and others from public spaces because of links to slavery, along with the establishment of a reparations task force.

Meanwhile, the city is flat broke, having flushed away $12 billion on being a sanctuary for illegal aliens at the expense of the native population. Ten thousand grasping invaders pour into the declining city every month. No worries; federal taxpayers are sure to bail it out.

The Committee plans to remove any public statue or work of art that ‘depicts a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity’.

From the liberal viewpoint, that means anyone who lived at the time of the nation’s founding.

Dozens of prominent statues across the city are at risk including those depicting Thomas Jefferson and former governor Peter Stuyvesant.

By erasing our history, they erase our identity. Then they can create a new identity as a nation of farm animals content to stay in their pens so long as they are fed free slop until it is time for a trip to the slaughterhouse.

As Todd Starnes jokes,

There are multiple statues and monuments to Washington, including Washington Square Park and the George Washington Bridge. It’s unclear whether the park and bridge will be leveled or just simply renamed.

At this point, maybe they should level the whole city and start over.

After the Father of Our Country has had his hero status revoked, he will be defiled and demonized before he is frog-marched to the memory hole and forgotten. Maybe the authorities will decide he impregnated a slave. That is a favorite liberal calumny against the author of the Declaration of Independence, whose statue leftists have already removed from City Hall.

This is cultural genocide. If we fail to defeat liberalism, Americans will soon cease to exist in any meaningful sense.

Dove Overdoes Moonbat Posturing

Bud Light and Target taught them nothing. The corporate world has fallen to the Long March Through the Institutions and no longer exists to provide products and services in exchange for profits. It has become a religious cult. Its purpose is to evangelize on behalf of its god, which is moonbattery:

Furious conservatives have begun boycotting Dove after the soap brand hired a Black Lives Matter activist notorious for destroying a white student’s life over a remark she later admitted she may have ‘misheard.’

Like Ben & Jerry’s, Dove is part of Unilever, a British conglomerate infamous for shoving wokeism down customers’ throats, so it should come as no surprise that it chose the maleficent intersectional land whale Zyahna Bryant to tie the brand to the latest variation on Cultural Marxism, “fat liberation.”

If disease-spreading sexual perversion is not a choice but an identity to be revered, the same can be true of morbid obesity. Rather than attempt to alleviant this serious health condition, we are now commanded to celebrate it.

Background on Bryant:

Bryant claimed that she had overheard a white student named Morgan Bettinger threaten Black Lives Matter protesters in Charlottesville in July 2020. …

Bettinger was subjected to a torrent of abuse and a campaign to remove her from UVA. Staff and students ganged up against her and scuppered her future prospects.

No doubt Miss Bettinger’s scalp helped secure Bryant’s status as a woke activist, which Unilever has allowed her to monetize.

More malice from Zyahna:

Bryant, 22, is a leftist community organizer and former DEI intern who recently graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. She prides herself on harboring a lifelong antipathy towards the police, having supposedly organized her first rally for Trayvon Martin at the age of 12.

Trayvon Martin was shot in self-defense while attempting to smash the skull of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman against the sidewalk, evidently after being interrupted as he prepared to burglarize houses.

Years later, she petitioned to have the Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, taken down and other elements of the area’s history erased.

She then led the jihad against innocent victim Morgan Bettinger.

Bryant later admitted she may have “misheard” Bettinger’s words on the day in question.

Bettinger had been accused of observing that Black Lives Matter hooligans would make good speed bumps. Actually, she said they could have ended up as speed bumps as a result of blocking the street.

Despite Bryant’s admission and a dearth of evidence, UVA’s University Judiciary Committee found Bettinger guilty of using “shameful rhetoric” which “put members of the community at risk.” As a consequence of the ruling, Bettinger, who had already been subjected to horrible abuse as a result of Bryant’s allegations, ended up with an expulsion in abeyance on her permanent record and had to both write the BLM radical an apology and perform 50 hours of community service with a social justice group.

That’s life on campus, under the rule of moonbat tyrants like Zyahna Bryant.

Showcasing Bryant is part of a larger campaign by Dove to pervert and defile the concepts of beauty and femininity in accordance with woke ideology:

Earlier this year, Dove ran an ad celebrating a fat video game character who tossed away armor that had made her appear thin as part of a campaign “to eliminate beauty stereotypes.”

Maybe the suits still care about profits after all. Promoting obesity maximizes the surface area to which their products can be applied. Promoting transsexualism allows them to market their products to men:

The company [has been] on the bleeding edge of hyping transgenderism, featuring a transvestite pretending to be a mother in a 2017 ad titled “#RealMoms.”

To expiate the damage she has inflicted on society, here Bryant offers us a chance to listen for free to the duckspeak graduate students have run up so much debt by wallowing in rather than entering adulthood:

Racist Cow Kicked Out of State Fair

Blacks are so oppressed that here’s what happens when a cow in a state fair has a name they object to:

On Thursday, David Blake of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, near Waukesha, joined tens of thousands of others at the Wisconsin State Fair, an annual event dating back all the way to 1851. While Blake was wandering about the bovine area, he saw a cow name that apparently stopped him dead in his tracks.

He took a picture of the nameplate, presumably to inspire a lynch mob on social media. It didn’t take long.

Vaun Mayes, who describes himself as “Milwaukee’s Malcolm X,” then shared the image on Facebook.

The Malcolm X wannabe accompanied the picture with the usual imperious crybullying. Hats off to him for managing to find some racist oppression, which isn’t easy these days.

The cow’s name was promptly changed to Puzzle on the official list of awardees. But that wasn’t enough. The offending cow was ejected from the fair.

A statement was issued to placate the mob:

“The exhibitor who showed this animal was part of our junior show and is also no longer at State Fair Park.”

Junior show. Looks like the cow-namer was a child.

That’s the slippery slope for you. Just the other day, they were canceling Robert E. Lee’s horse. Already they are going after kids and their cows.

The statement continued:

“We plan to review the entry process and discuss ways to prevent this type of situation in the future.”

Future cow names will probably have to pass political review. Good thing there are plenty of recent college graduates with expensive degrees in Victim Studies who are qualified not only to pour coffee at Starbucks but also to staff the Wisconsin State Fair Cow Name Monitoring Committee.

The Blaze does not dare publish the cow’s forbidden name, but hints that it is “Jigaboo.” Maybe the owner mixed up the word with “bug-a-boo,” like Robert Griffin III.

Catherine O’Leary’s was the last cow to cause such a hullabaloo. We’ll see whether the Department of Justice is too busy concocting Trump indictments to take up the case.

Texas A&M School of Medicine Erases White Males

Marginalizing America’s core population is not the ultimate objective. To actualize the liberal conception of utopia, those of European ancestry must be erased. This is already underway in academia:

The Texas A&M School of Medicine bragged that removing photos of white male alumni was an example of its institutional commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, new documents reveal.

Good thing liberals can erase white males without erasing their accomplishments, or people of all skin tones would be lying cold, hungry, and sick in the dark.

The institution included the response in a survey it completed for the Association of American Medical Colleges last year, which the organization used for its Diversity, Inclusion, Culture, and Equity Inventory. The school’s survey responses were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by the medical watchdog group Do No Harm and shared with the Washington Examiner.

The accomplishments referred to above will be scaled back if the medical profession continues to succumb to moonbattery. The University of Minnesota Medical School already places the practices of witch doctors on a par with advanced medicine.

In response to a question that asked schools if they had modified branding and communications displays to eliminate aspects that could be “perceived as noninclusive,” the Texas A&M School of Medicine said it removed “the predominantly white male photos of [the] graduating class prominently displayed on the entrance” to the school.

Other avowed DEI efforts at Texas A&M include discriminating against white males in admissions and salaries. Where liberals dominate, as they do in education, systemic animosity is virtually unrestrained.

When the statues of Robert E. Lee started coming down in the South, most knew it was only the beginning. But even now, few realize how far wokeness will go if it is not turned back.

Hillary Clinton on Corrupt Authoritarians

Corrupt authoritarian Hillary Clinton knows just what to do about corrupt authoritarianism: crack down on “misinformation” — i.e., facts and opinions that undermine the ruling party. Shrieks Shrillary, “We have got to end impunity” for people who oppose leftism. As an example, she refers to those who opposed the cancelation of American history by protesting against the tearing down of a Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville. Then she goes for cheap laughs by referring to her reverence for “rule of law”:

Rule of law would be nice. Then Shrillary would be cooling her heels in a federal prison instead of spouting moonbattery on leftist propaganda channels.

False Flag Operation to Shore Up McAuliffe Backfires

Leftists have become desperate as they watch Terry McAuliffe — the Democrat establishment incarnate — flounder in blue Virginia. In a pathetic attempt to wring a last drop of propaganda out of a rally in defense of a Robert E. Lee statue that took place in Charlottesville 4 years ago, the pro-Democrat, pedophile-protecting grifters of the Lincoln Project staged a laughably amateur hate hoax attempting to associate Glenn Youngkin with dreaded white supremacists. The Three Stooges level incompetence even featured a black white supremacist.

MSM journalists are so eager to believe or at least disseminate any lie they think will hurt Republicans that they actually fell for this.

The Blaze reports:

Mainstream media outlets and online liberal influencers pounced on the bait after a photograph surfaced of supposed supporters of Glenn Youngkin with what has been identified as white supremacist paraphernalia.

The tiki torches are intended to convince idiots that these are the evil racists who didn’t want the statue of Robert E. Lee torn down.

Jen Goodman, the communications director for the campaign of former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, immediately reposted it and said “This is disgusting and disqualifying.”

Thankfully we are not at the mercy of liberal journalists and other Democrat spinmeisters. Online sleuths recognized some of the faux white supremacists.

Among the two who suspiciously look like Democrat activists are Colleen Wachenfeld, whose profile said she works for the Virginia Democrats, and Camden Layton, whose profile said he worked as the finance director for the Virginia Democrats.

These two have been covering their tracks on social media.

Later on Friday, the anti-Trump organization Lincoln Project took responsibility for the stunt in a defiant statement.

The Lincoln Project is the same moonbat operation that compared Antifa brownshirts to the heroes who stormed the beaches on D-Day. Vice explains why these cockroaches abandoned their hoax and confessed with only days to go before the election:

The Lincoln Project acknowledged they were behind the stunt after VICE News identified one of the people dressed in the photo in front of Youngkin’s campaign bus as a low-level Democratic operative who has recently been working for Democratic sting operator Lauren Windsor’s The Undercurrent. Her group has repeatedly gone undercover as conservative activists to goad politicians into saying what’s really on their mind—and has also held events alongside the Lincoln Project in recent days. …

Windsor acknowledged her role in the event.

If progressives were good at anything, it would be dirty politics. But even there they are incompetent. No wonder the country’s wheels have been coming loose since these deranged clowns took over the federal government.

Voters have yet another reason to prevent McAwful from returning to the governor’s mansion.

His upset loss will be devastating for Democrats. It will signal that moonbattery has reached its high-water mark, and that the country is returning to its senses.

Republican Suggests Canceling Lincoln

It started with intolerant moonbats tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee because he personifies the South. Already it has reached the point of a Republican politician suggesting we should cancel Abraham Lincoln for being “reprehensible.”

If Democrats would cancel Andrew Jackson, why wouldn’t Republicans cancel Lincoln?

Despite characterizing his own reprehensible remarks as “mostly sarcastic,” Missouri state representative Tony Lovasco holds his ground:

“It’s unfortunate how many people think saying ‘Lincoln was reprehensible’ equals some kind of support for the Confederacy, especially given the context of my tweet. It’s quite possible to point out that neither Lincoln nor Lee where [sic] good people deserving honor.”

On the contrary, both Lee and Lincoln were great men. In contrast, Lovasco is a termite, helping progressives to eat away at the foundations of our nation.

Lovasco barks that…

“…while Lee may have been a terrible person (and should be condemned as such), Lincoln was no hero.”

Lee has been admired for going on 2 centuries for being a great man. His retroactive sin was fighting for his home Virginia, which he did for honorable reasons.

Lincoln too defended his country as best he knew how, earning a denunciation from Lovasco for being “responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of people, including large numbers of Native Americans.”

Because of honorable men like Lee and Lincoln, America survived the Civil War and became united again. Without some grace on both sides, a guerilla war might have dragged on for generations. Because honorable men are no longer prevalent in our society, the country is becoming unmoored from its history and torn apart again.

How moonbats treat Lincoln.
