It’s Time to Cancel the Statue-Toppling Morons By Stephen Kruiser
The discussion about the removal of Confederate statues was a valid one, but that didn’t last long before the mob started going after all statues like predators after wounded prey.
Matt wrote a post yesterday detailing just how idiotic the anti-statue crowd has become:
There’s a memorial statue Lincoln Park in Washington D.C. that depicts President Abraham Lincoln holding a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing a slave. The Emancipation Memorial, also called Freedman’s Memorial, apparently offends Black Lives Matter protestors, who, on Tuesday, vowed to topple it down.
That’s right, Lincoln is getting canceled for freeing the slaves by the people who want racial healing or something.
Many have noted that the stupidity displayed by these young people shows how badly our public schools have failed them. In a column I wrote last week I made the opposite point: this is the triumph of our public education system because whitewashing American history to turn the younger generations into an easily controlled mob has been the point of it all for decades.
During our weekly VIP Gold live chat on Wednesday my colleagues Stephen Green and Bryan Preston both agreed that the statue nonsense is an expression of impotent rage on the part of the woke mob. Ever the curmudgeon, I just look at it as wanton destruction of public property and think all involved should get to cool off for a night or two in their local city or county jail.
