The primary plan of Socialism. Destroy the legacy of "doers" and replace it with "the Party."

Kind of like the most successful benevolent ruler.

Cyrus the Great.

His tomb now defaced and crumbling away... mostly forgotten...

A while back RD made reference to him as our greatest leader. He rules well and made a lasting empire. Even being call anointed by god by the Hebrews, even as a gentile. He allowed them free to go back to their home of Judea, even financing for them the second temple.

Pretty much everyone around that period with taste revered the dude. Even the warlord Alexander who conquered his kingdom. He was of a kind indeed. Very wise.

Doers do work both ways.

Still, there's a lot of good men and women who care for this Great Nation.

They did it in 2016 and they are doing it again.

Four men were charged for trying to tear down a statue of President Andrew Jackson near the White House

It is unfair to look at history through the lens of modern eyes and hold all leaders accountable for following the laws of their day.

Yes, slavery was wrong. It still is, though human traffickers today run rampant across the world. I would love to see the same outrage and energy of protesters against that moral outrage.

However, to assault the pillars of humanity from our own nation builders is to attack all Americans, for we would have no nation without them.

Would we prefer to return the entire nation to the earliest occupants and go back from whence we came in shame? Of course not. We arrived here as a collective through deeds good and bad, and have made of these shores an imperfect union through blood, sweat and tears.

Quit rewriting history. As a woman, I have wondered where all the women were in history, why their stories weren't told. I can't now go back and deface the accomplishments of all men because I feel slighted. Instead, I can tell those stories of great women for future people to learn. The point is to respect the truth of the past, warts and all. Tell the whole story. But to condemn all historical figures is a backlash that does more harm than the previous extolling of their virtues ever did.

We need real heros in this world to emulate, not fictional superheros. Knocking down the past won't make it go away. Instead, the errors of the past will happen again because we won't remember them, good or bad. Tearing down our memorials and remembrances only condemns our descendents to ignorance. It is as bad as book burning. It silences their stories, our stories, leaving us with no one to inspire us anymore.

Do you not understand that rich elite tyrants want us to forget revolutionaries who fought tyranny from the elite and royal tyrants of the past so we don't emulate their bravery?

"Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error."

-Andrew Jackson

"It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes."

-Andrew Jackson

"Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms."

-Andrew Jackson

"Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it."

-Andrew Jackson

This great man deserves remembrance through the ages for all that he was, an imperfect man seeking to lift up the citizens of his nation.

Feds arrest ‘ringleader’ in attack on Andrew Jackson statue by White House. These sources add that Charter has connections to Antifa. Antifa is funded by George Soros, a Kayeen. Get it?
