It’s all about taking down ……. America. The Democrat party should be designated a terrorist org. The censoring, smears, violence, destruction, treason and takedown of our President (and our history) are acts of war.

Rioters Destroy Statue Of Union Colonel Who Died Fighting Slavery, Confederacy. Also Destroy The ‘Forward’ Statue

By: By Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire, June 26, 2020:

Violent rioters in Wisconsin destroyed two statues on Tuesday night, including a statue of a Union colonel who died fighting against slavery and to bring an end to the Confederacy.

The destruction of property happened outside the Wisconsin State Capitol, where rioters destroyed the statues of Wisconsin’s motto “Forward” and of Col. Hans Christian Heg, “an abolitionist who died trying to end slavery during the Civil War,” The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

“Heg was an anti-slavery activist who fought and died for the Union during the U.S. Civil War,” the outlet notes. “His nearly 100-year-old sculpture was decapitated and thrown into a Madison lake by protesters.”

While the original Forward statue was erected in 1895, the protesters tore down the replica commissioned in the 1990s. The Wisconsin Historical Society describes the “Forward” statue as an “allegory of devotion and progress.” The fact that the statue was given a prominent position at the Wisconsin State Capitol was considered “an unusual honor for a woman” of Jean Pond Miner’s day, who created the statue.

The continued destruction of American statues happened around the same time that the violent rioters attacked an openly gay Democrat state senator.

The National Parks Service highlighted Heg’s military service fighting for the Union and noted his final battle:

Wisconsin Governor Randall appointed Heg a colonel on October 1, 1861, and assigned him the task of raising a Scandinavian Brigade in response to the pending war that faced their adopted country. Recent immigration from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark provided more than 75,000 able bodied citizens in 1861. Heg’s recruiting efforts included an editorial in the Emigranten, Oct. 5, 1861. In this call, Heg asked for a thousand men—Norwegians, Swedes, and Danes. He said, “The officers of the regiment will be men who speak the Scandinavian languages. Thus an opportunity to enter the service is afforded those Scandinavians who do not yet speak English.” From this call, Norwegian volunteers from Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois formed the Fifteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. Heg was a gifted volunteer officer in the Union Army, his first military command being the Fifteenth. Notable engagements of the Fifteenth Wisconsin included Island No. 10, the Battle of Perryville, the Battle of Stones River, the Tullahoma Campaign, the Battle of Chickamauga, the Siege of Chattanooga (Missionary Ridge), the relief of Knoxville, Rocky Face Ridge and Dalton, the Battle of Resaca, and the Atlanta Campaign.

Colonel Heg’s final battle was at Chickamauga on September 19, 1863. The Fifteenth Wisconsin was fully exposed to enemy fire during repeated attacks and counter attacks throughout the day. While actively rallying his brigade from one of these repulses, Heg received a mortal wound, of which he succumbed to in a nearby field hospital. A triangular pyramid monument of eight inch shells, ten feet in height, marks the spot where Colonel Heg was mortally wounded (seven more of these pyramids can be located throughout Chickamauga Battlefield).

Any statue, by definition, is a symbol of an admired figure – and the mob despises ALL objects of admiration – irrespective of the particulars.

The attempt to disfigure and destroy the Emancipation Lincoln monument made me PHYSICALLY ILL. This humble work was paid for by the nickels and dimes of freed slaves. Millions of black children for generations have visited this monument and it has acquired an almost sacred specialness for Black Americans. The destroyers are mostly rich spoiled white kids. It is enough to make your eyes cross.

FOX News Channel anchor Gillian Turner reported today that Princeton is “a great school for anything government or foreign affairs related.” So great, is Princeton in fact, that she, herself — Obama tha God dupe and To Sir With Love serenader — Gillian Turner “almost applied there myself, for my undergraduate studies.”
Gillian Turner — globalist creep.

These soros/omama paid low IQ, uneducated lowlifes have no history education. They feel if it is an old statue, it must be racist and has to be destroyed.

We’re making such a big deal about statues. When, every day for decades on end, blacks have been hunting down white people and murdering them where they find them. It’s not a recent occurrence, it’s been going on for very long time.

We have lost at least two generations and we will lose it all, or have to fight an armed revolution to get it back, if we let the left win this fall!

Oh they don’t care what the statues are really about, or who. They are out to erase our history and culture in favor of Marxism and they are using blacks to do it, dividing us against each other. It’s the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory, which consists of relentlessly attacking everything about a society until you bring that society down.

When are they going to start tearing down Mosques as slavery is sanctioned in the Quran 24:32

And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

“And he bought him for two black slaves”….
That was Mohammed, buying another slave.
It is recorded under the heading “Selling Animals for Animals” in Sunan an Nasai 4625.

It’s true these anarchists are ignorant of who these statues represent, but this is really about destroying our culture…..’fundamentally transforming America’ into something else. These are Obama’s own words. If you doubt Obama’s words, look it up. He surrounded himself with like-minded people.

“It’s all about taking down ……. America.
The Democrat party should be designated a terrorist org.”
Yes, it should!
So, WHY hasn’t it been???
And WHY isn’t it being treated as such???
Why are we allowing such a small minority of Americans to intentionally and methodically destroy our country and ruin our lives?
To give you an idea of how small the Democrats’ numbers are, here are the figures:
Total number of Americans who are members of, the Democrat Party as of 2020: 45,715, 952.
Democrats who hold seats in the Senate: 45 out of 100.
Democrats in the House: 233 out of 435.
Together, that adds up to 45,716,319.
Minus the number of Democrats, that leaves 284,283, 681 of the rest of us (non-Democrats).
So, the bottom line is that approximately 20% of the population of our country is being allowed to destroy the country for the other EIGHTY PERCENT!!!
And if you consider only the Democrats in the Senate and House, their numbers are a measly 278.
Of course, that number leaves out the RHINOs and so called Conservatives who vote with the Democrats at every opportunity.

Americans must realize that the attacks upon our statues is driven by the islamic korans command to do so. Islam has been using the black community as weapons in their war against Western Civilization. In every country that islam has invaded and conquered the statuary and history of that nation is eradicated. The day after the giant Buddha was destroyed all islam should have been made illegal and their kabbah torn down. The day after islam attacked on 9/11 all islam should have been purged from America. The greatest crime was the placing of the obama in the White House by the Saudi regime by using massive corruption and bribes..
