by Penny Starr - 16 Aug 2017

SMDH. Just goes to show that when a crowd is incited it does not follow logic, it is a rabid animal that will bite at all near it including itself.

Lincoln Statue Found Burned on Chicago's South Side

An Abraham Lincoln [statue] was damaged and burned in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood late Wednesday, Ald. Ray Lopez said.

The statue was found burned near 69th Street and Wolcott, authorities said.

"What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism," Lopez wrote on Facebook along with an image of the charred structure. He encouraged anyone who has information on what happened to contact police or his office "immediately."

Police did not immediately have information on what happened.

The statue, a bust of Lincoln, was erected by Phil Bloomquist on Aug. 31, 1926.

It is one of many that have been vandalized across the country in wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia and the president's comments that followed.

The Nazis were right about certain things as I pointed out. In fact when Stalin invaded Finland, which at the time had and still does have a representative form of government, it was the Nazis that came to Finland's aid in what is now known as the Winter War. Sieg Heil!

Dang,Goodwin's Law came into effect pretty quick last night, didn't it? Well done, comrade.

Then the autistic screechers of the left would show up at the private property and deface them there. They don't want them on private property. They don't want them in museums. Nothing less than total destruction is acceptable.

A bunch of private parks and monuments haven't sprung up already?

Me thinks these "sides" are not sincere about their causes. When you try to control/direct the gun of government, you immediately reveal your true cause.

All these monuments are maintained by govt usually at the local and state level so its going to be like when the atheists protested having religious symbols on govt property. The key to everything is take everything out of the government's hands. Once that happens, special interest groups immediately lose their power.

Pretty much. It's less directly expensive to control the historical narrative on the taxpayer's dime no matter which side you take.

Won't stop a damn thing.

The Red Terror has begun, and if it spools up into what has happened before, we'll all be lucky to survive it.

And sadly, it's been needed for a long time, the current model is unsustainable.

Duke University Removes Robert E. Lee Statue After It Was Vandalized

The university said it removed the carved limestone likeness early Saturday from Duke Chapel where it stood among 10 historical figures depicted in the entryway. Another statue of Lee was at the heart of a violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, that turned deadly a week ago.


University president Vincent Price said in a letter to the campus community that he consulted with faculty, staff, students and alumni about the decision to remove the statue. Officials discovered early Thursday that the statue's face had been damaged by vandalism.


"I took this course of action to protect Duke Chapel, to ensure the vital safety of students and community members who worship there, and above all to express the deep and abiding values of our university," Price said in the letter.

Something tells me if people were vandalizing statues of MLK they wouldn't be taken down, as that would be appeasing criminals.

Traveler, USC's mascot, comes under scrutiny for having a name similar to Robert E. Lee's horse

hen Richard Saukko galloped his chalk-white Arabian horse named Traveler around the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum almost 56 years ago, it was supposed to be a one-time stunt.

Instead, the brief performance before USC kicked off its season against Georgia Tech turned into one of college football’s iconic traditions. A succession of white horses named Traveler have followed — Traveler IX debuts this fall — trotting out of the tunnel as “Conquest” plays and the costumed Trojan warrior atop the horse waves a sword. But during a rally earlier this week to show solidarity in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., a USC campus group linked the name to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose favorite horse was Traveller.

At the rally, according to the student newspaper the Daily Trojan, Saphia Jackson, co-director of the USC Black Student Assembly, asked students not to be quiet, and reminded that “white supremacy hits close to home” and referenced the name of the Trojans mascot.

The Black Student Assembly did not respond to requests for comment, but questions about the name’s provenance have increased on social media in the midst of the national discussion on race.



Saukko died in 1992, but his widow wasn’t surprised when a reporter called Friday.

“The problem is this: maybe three weeks ago it was fine,” Pat Saukko DeBernardi said. “So now the flavor of the day is . . . we all have to be in hysteria. . . . It’s more of a political issue. The horse isn’t political and neither am I.”

She noted that the name of Lee’s well-known horse included an extra “l” and, besides, Traveler was already named when her late husband purchased him for $5,000 in 1958, half the asking price. The horse was a fixture in movies like “Snowfire” and “The Ballad of a Gunfighter.”

LOL

Because this nation has no problems that can't be solved by beating a dead white horse.
