Our Iconoclastic Binge


What is the logical conclusion to this iconoclastic binge that the looney left is imposing on us of late? Why, the removal of ALL commemorative statues, literature, namings and artwork from the public square. By ALL I mean ALL ... for what is one man's (or woman's) genius is some other's goat. There are always two ... or three ... or more sides to every historic event of import. So the removal of Robert E. Lee's statue to be replaced with Stokely Carmichael's will only survive as long as the later's followers outnumber his detractors. Then, down his marble memorial  comes ... to be replaced by some other nouveau. At some distant pint we are bound to run out of marble ...

And, of course, there must also be the book burnings and the defacing of artworks and the renaming of locations, etc. All in the name of correcting history. United States of Vespucci anyone?
