  • Is Mount Rushmore Next?

    The cultural cleansing rolls on....

    some activists have called for Mount Rushmore to close.

    On a positive note:

    FBI: Record-shattering surge in gun checks as BLM, 2020 election, virus boost sales

    The FBI recorded its highest-ever number of background checks for gun sales in June, a 70% jump over June 2019 and the latest evidence that more guns will be sold in 2020 than ever in American history.

    Practically speaking I don't anything can be done about Mount Rushmore. They have the advantage of size.

      Well they want to close the park, so I assume, that people can't come in.

        It's interesting to hear the anti-monument crowd talk so poorly about someone who "took up arms against the United States federal government to fight against encroachment by Northerners on Confederate territory and to preserve the traditional way of life of the South"

          I can tell you if someone were to damage Mt Rushmore, that could set off the country for real. Right now conservatives are just shaking their heads and complaining about the left's derangement, but if someone were to actually attack or destroy Mt Rushmore, I think people would have had enough of these terrorists and fight back. In the end the Democrat party would lose support of America and be disbanded.

              No, because that would be the straw that broke the camel's back.

                  Right like the Lakota weren't warring with their neighboring tribes long before the white man showed up...

                  Sioux leaders call for Mount Rushmore to be 'removed'

                  'Lakota see the faces of men who lied, cheated and murdered innocent people'

                    IIRC that area traded hands about every century.

                      The same thing can be said about the Buddhas of Bamyan

                          Stop the lies! The Native Americans were all peaceful farmers and all of the tribes lived in peaceful harmony with each other and nature, without capitalistic greed and strife.

                            I forgot - and they didn't enslave each other either...

                              If we all get together and push real hard, maybe we can topple it?
