We all know that. Is the tear down line to be drawn after this statue or the next, or the next or the next. You get my point. Letting what is now a mob rules ideology decide what is to be targeted is a dangerous game to play. And when good people remain silent to avoid being labeled racist it will undoubtedly spiral out of control. We are witnessing that now.

Already seeing headlines that stained glass windows with a white Jesus are racist are the churches next?

Where does it stop & who decides that? These idiots tearing down everything in sight in no way could be entrusted with that decision.

It's this whole anti-racist thing that's been with the country from the time of Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine.

They forced their ideology on the South with the Union Army.  When that wasn't enough it was B v B in 1954 and the Civil Rights Act 10 years later.

Now they want to erase the even the hallowed memory of white supremacy embodied in he memorials of its foremost exponents.

But take heart, there are plenty of people out there who WON'T remain silent to avoid being labeled racist. 

Just today the president vowed to imprison people who vandalized federally sanctioned statues.

“If I weren’t president, they would have knocked down [the Jefferson Memorial] -- if a guy like [former Vice President Joe] Biden was president, they will knock the Jefferson Memorial. Not going to happen.”

Trump said Monday that he will soon issue an executive order meant to protect public statues and monuments from being damaged or destroyed by far-left and anarchist protestors.

"We are going to do an executive order and make the cities guard their monuments," Trump told Eternal Word Television Network's Raymond Arroyo, a Fox News contributor. "This is a disgrace.

Pretty sure an executive order applies only to the executive branch, though.
