Bait-n-Switch: The War On Statues

RebelPundit Filmmakers Jeremy Segal and Andrew Marcus follow Chicago community organizer, Paul McKinley, on a tour of the south side neighborhood, Washington Park, where they find local residents opposed to a pastor’s calls to remove George Washington’s name and statue from the park.

More bait-n-switch via TOWNHALL:

…..Now, we begin a fight over taking down the hundreds and hundreds of Confederate monuments across the country. After that (and, yes, this part has already started) the battle will be over renaming buildings and streets. Liberals in Memphis literally dug up the graves of Nathan Forrest and his wife; so even removing the corpses of Confederate soldiers isn’t off the table. But that’s it, right? 

Wrong. 

On my new Twitter account What Liberals Say: Liberals in their own words, you’ll see that New York is discussing tearing down a statue of Columbus and even Grant’s Tomb. Meanwhile, liberals in Baltimore took a sledgehammer to a Christopher Columbus monument and even Al Sharpton came out againstthe Thomas Jefferson memorial. 

So, you may think you’re arguing about the Confederate flag or the statue of Robert E. Lee, but liberals are also really arguing about memorials to Columbus, Grant, Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, you name it. 

Furthermore, not only are you never really arguing about what you think you’re arguing about with a liberal, liberals will paint you as evil for continuing to support something they were backing five minutes ago. How many liberals did you hear demanding gay marriage 20 years ago? Almost none. Then, the second Barack Obama changed his mind about it, everyone who disagreed with gay marriage became a gay-hating homophobe. Did you notice the shocking speed with which we moved from “Liberals would never demand that women share bathrooms with men. That’s crazy….” to, “Anyone who doesn’t support men and women in the same bathroom is transphobic”? …..

 

 

The Original birthers Were Progressives-Conspiracies from the Left

I thought this short post from BigGovernment was worth the read. I have been wanting to post embed Medved dealing with another birther call, but I have been busy getting my reinstall of windows back to operating status.

The recent Wonkettroversy over the shameful blog post attacking Trig Palin, a defenseless handicapped 3 year-old child, has made me realize something completely tangential to the story.

Susannah Fleetwood posted the following excerpt at Hot Air, from the post by the likely soon to be unemployable as a writer, Jack Stuef:

…the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.)

It hadn’t occurred to me before, but it’s the tiny minority of Progressive Democrats who are knuckle-dragging, mouth-frothing, and terminally deranged with hatred for Sarah Palin, who were the original birthers!

The Obama birthers are knock-offs of the original birther movement.

Of course, Trig – the 3 year old retarded punching bag of Jack Stuef and his readers/fans – can probably produce a birth certificate. For some odd reason, His Presidency won’t.

For the record, again, I believe that His Presidency is a natural born American citizen. Why? because without evidence to the contrary, the conspiracy I am expected to believe is just too grand. Too many people would have to be keeping the secret. Good luck with that.

I do however think that there is something that His Presidency doesn’t want the American people to see. That or he is just an opaque man who is disingenuous when he talks about openness and transparency. He could end the divisiveness of this issue in a nanosecond, by simply producing the document, but for some cynical reason he prefers not to.

Not exactly the position of a unifier. But I digress.
