“As New York City cripples under monumental budget cuts due to a migrant crisis straining public resources, the city council is planning to consider a series of measures that would, among other things, remove statues of major historical figures like George Washington and create a reparations task force.
The items are included in New York City’s council agenda for Tuesday, September 19, 2023.
The council’s Cultural Affairs Committee will hold a public hearing on a measure to remove works of art on city property that “depict 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.”
This criteria would include figures like America’s first president George Washington, Dutch governor and New York settler Peter Stuyvesant, as well as Christopher Columbus – all of whom have statues throughout the city.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)
Since before the 2016 President Election, I have referred to Far Left Democrats, like those in above article, as “The New Bolsheviks” because of the striking similarity of their actions to the ruthless aggression and mindless censorship displayed by those who followed Vladimir Lenin in the Russian Revolution of 1918.
However, there is another group that these “brave new radicals” remind me of: the barbarians of Islamic State, or ISIS.
When they would take over a city in the Middle East, for example Palmyra, one of the first things that they would do would be to tear down the area’s historical sites, destroying any artifacts and antiquities which they did not like, in order to establish that their culture was supreme, just as Lenin’s Bolsheviks did.
These New Bolsheviks, who are bringing down historical statues, are defaming other monuments as well, while proclaiming their self-righteousness through their actions.
As an American, I see nothing different from their actions than those of the Bolsheviks and the Radical Islamists of ISIS.
The subjects of all of this censorship were a part of American History. In the case of the monuments being considered for removal by these self-righteousness idiots in New York City, they include Christopher Columbus and some of the Founding Fathers of our Sovereign Nation!
If you find the statues offensive, then that is your prerogative as an American. However, your hurt feelings do not give you just cause to attempt to erase history by pulling down a statue which is not your property.
History can not be hidden, nor can it be changed through violent or political acts in the present.
It just is.
Those statues were put in place so that Americans might learn about those historical figures and learn FROM them, as well.
Which brings me to a very important point: Lenin’s Bolsheviks and ISIS also destroyed historical artifacts in order to make the populace “malleable” and “agreeable”.
Without their history there to remind them through statues, buildings and antiquities, the populace would lose their sense of “country”, not to mention knowledge of how their nation had evolved and changed into what they had become comfortable with.
These New Bolsheviks who are censoring history do not understand that in order to be properly educated as an American Citizen, you need to be aware of our Sovereign Nation’s History and reminded of it constantly, the good and the bad, so that our nation does not lose our cherished liberty which was bought by the blood of those before us.
So why are these statues and other monuments which been a part of our nation’s history for so long, so offensive?
Perhaps because they stand in the way of those who would replace our Constitutional Republic with a Marxist form of government…like “Democratic Socialism”.
After all, those with a proper knowledge of history and a strong sense of American Patriotism do not make very good “useful idiots”.
