NEW YORK – As Confederate statues come under scrutiny across the nation and are slowly, one by one, being taken down by authorities and vigilant citizens (criminals?), President Donald Trump today said those actions are “sad” and that our culture is being “ripped apart”.
Again using his Twitter account, the President laid bare his feelings on the matter this morning, saying “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You can’t change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson – who’s next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!”
The President’s statement comes in the wake of the recent tragedy in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which hate groups marched and clashed, some chanting anti-Jewish, racist slogans, leading to violence and bloodshed. A woman was killed when a possible White Supremacist slammed his car into traffic on a crowded street. Many in the “media” including talking heads and elected and formerly-elected officials and politicians are denouncing the division in the country at this time, and some are blaming President Trump for fanning the flames of white pride and emboldening alt-right groups that preach segregation and the suppression of those they view to be inferior. Some of the nation’s top CEO’s abandoned councils he put together on economic development, leading him to dismiss the initiatives and criticize their decisions.
Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You…..

It is pretty hard to have an intellectual argument with posters who hide behind the “anonymous” name. i do not recall that I have called anyone names or questioned their intelligence or assumed that I know everything about what makes you tick. Everyone has a right to express their opinion. And by the way, I have read a few books in my lifetime. Does it make you feel good to bully other people?
Are we all going to stand by while these history deniers blow up Mount Rushmore?
Democrats/Socialism/Traitors – 90% of elected officials are put in office by large corporations/unions and over time become quite comfortable $$$$$$$$ – I am for the LITTLE guy – of course meaning himself – usually when voted out or retiring the little GUY is pretty well set at the misery of the private sector working class. T I F to you too !
Bo ! Civil war to free the slaves? LIke weapons of mass destruction says Buskie – the war was the product of Northern Banksters and bankster controlled corrupt politicians – The elite wanted the fertile southern land and the plantation owners would not sell – Let’s see? How about we come up with a nice humane cause like free the slaves? Who got the goldmine and who got the shaft – Old Abe himself became very wealthy off the theft and misery of the southern people and northern brainwashed army – FREE THE SLAVES – a cruel hoax played on the people who died for a false/.corrupt HOAX .
Welcome to NIT being used by some as the Hate Site of North Iowa.
When that LGBLT car drove down the street and all the nazis jump in front of it an flew through the air , did they get charged with HIT n RUN ? Yet.
Just wondering. We have to get rid of all history regarding slavery? I am wondering what is the difference when we are told that we have to have immigration so “the farmers can have their crops picked because no one here wants to do that type of labor. And the big corporations send our jobs to foreign countries for cheap labor. Isn’t that a form of slavery? Since we here that those workers are working for little or nothing. Doesn’t seem to cause any outrage from left leaning people or corporations who can’t stomach trump. I would think there should be just as much outrage against that. Slavery is slavery.
Dems will want to replace the confederate statues with one of barack Hussein Obama.
Actually, now that I think of that, it might not be a bad idea. Think of how many pigeons could sit on those ears. And they could pass judgement on his legacy.
In the old days slaves were black – now their brown ? Actually the new world order want’s to dispose of all whites because they don’t make good slaves — but- but their trying to brainwash us and make us sheeple. Just watch MSM and their on line education of the doped up viewers. Price of zinc is skyrocketing – You know they need zinc for toothpaste. Healthy chit no doubt.
I would bet old Bodaic knows where the Clinton emails are located -probably her licker rosy rotten crotch has them.
Dem old Demorats’ cannot understand their lickin last fall so they keep on tickin their lies and deceit as they have conned their crowd of now mindless fools into fact and history – You think your party of corruption took a beating in 2016 wait till 2018 – your the enemy of America and our way of life – Good Riddance to Bad RUBBISH we patriots have always said.
Slave owners – modern times = mexicans ???? Deep state will face off 1 day and be in deep Trump shit.
Trump is a coward who ran and hid when he was called to war. A pile of chicken shit would be a fitting monument to his presidency.
Liberals are set to rewrite our history.
The Anti American (Deep State) government being carried on by former phony president hussein obama and his army of Anti American demorats only 2 miles from the White House should be fumigated as they are treasonous bastards.
Trump going from just serving Kool-Aid to pouring gas on the fire.
He is a total disgrace to our country.
The slimy corrupt Anti American mayor of Shitcago has now said he wants the statue of GEORGE WASHINTON REMOVED ! Hanging is too good for that sonofaBITCH !
