There Is Another Way of Looking at This Statue Slaying.....

OBITUARY: THE SAD PASSING OF COMMON SENSE

This post is from the DMF archive of early 2012, it's words a bit dated now. But in light of news of the present days, is a clear illustration of how far we have "Progressed" since the death of our old friend. How old scabs have been pick at as well as all new wounds inflicted on America in the last eight years. 

____________________________________

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for what seems forever. No one really knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered for his integrity. For cultivating such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, don't take what doesn't belong to you, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when so-called well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for sneaking a kiss from classmate, teenagers suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they had themselves failed to do in disciplining their disrespectful and unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer paracetamol, sun lotion or an aspirin to a pupil, but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense began to lose the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became labeled as hateful and objects of vehement criticism for teaching morality, and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when some courts ruled you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, but the burglar could sue you for assault because you protected yourself and your own.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. 

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility and his son, Reason. He is survived by three estranged stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized that he was gone.

What Better Way to Replace a Statue of Robert E. Lee Then With a Symbol of Welfare Dependency

A West Point Educated General Replaced With a Pregnant Black Women

BALTIMORE, MD (WUSA9) - "Activists lifted a modern sculpture depicting a pregnant African-American "Lady Liberty" onto the pedestal where a monument to Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson was removed overnight.

The new statue is not sanctioned by the City of Baltimore which owns the site, but there was no immediate action to remove it by police or city officials. The removal of the Lee-Jackson monument and three other Confederate statues was ordered by Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh. Pugh told reporters she ordered the removals as a matter of public safety. In 2015 plaques were placed on the Lee-Jackson statue calling the monuments examples of the revisionist history "Lost Cause" movement.

Pugh said the monuments have been moved to safe locations for storage, but she did not say where. One city council member is calling for the destruction of the statues."

Dem to Introduce Impeachment Articles over Charlottesville

I find this truly ironic. Things like this coming from a group of politicians who coddle and refuse to condemn the violent anarchist and fascist brown shirt tactics of antifa or BLM assassinations of law enforcement officers.  The hypocritical liberal hate-fest marches onward.......

The Hill - Rep. Steve Cohen (D), a Tennessee liberal, announced Thursday that he will introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump based on his defense of the white supremacists who participated in a deadly rally in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. 

“Instead of unequivocally condemning hateful actions by neo-Nazis, white nationalists and Klansmen following a national tragedy, the President said 'there were very fine people on both sides.' There are no good Nazis. There are no good Klansmen,” Cohen said in a statement. “President Trump has failed the presidential test of moral leadership.” 

Cohen’s decision follows on the heels of a similar effort by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who last month introduced his own articles of impeachment contending Trump obstructed justice amid the federal investigation into Russia’s interference with the 2016 presidential election. - Read More

You cannot impeach a politician for a "contenting " of wrong doing without proof, of which there is none.  And you certainly cannot impeach for your own misinterpretation as to what is actual meant in statement of broad condemnation. His statement was not a defense of the white supremacist.  Besides, if the test of "moral leadership" were applied to the democrat party representatives, there would be a whole lot of impeaching going on.

Chicago Pastor Wants Presidents Names Removed From Parks

A Chicago pastor has asked the Rahm Emanuel administration to remove the names of two presidents who owned slaves from a South Side Chicago city park. 

A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.  Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.

The pastor also said President Andrew Jackson’s name should be removed from nearby Jackson Park, because he also was a slave owner. He said he’s not necessarily asking the city rename the parks altogether.

The Good Pastor suggested Washington Park could be named after the corrupt tax evading, cocaine snorting former Chicago Mayor Harold Washington, and that Jackson Park could be named after civil rights leader lying race-baiter and extortionist Rev. Jesse Jackson, or perhaps the child molesting pervert singer Michael Jackson.

Actress Battles Nazi Elves in NYC Over The Weekend

DT - Actress Alyssa Milano is a self-proclaimed leader of the anti-Trump “Resistance.” She doesn’t actually do anything besides sending out absurd tweets, but the Resistance is kind of like that. While real SJWs were in Charlottesville, VA battling real neo-Nazis, Milano didn’t want to be left out, so she found some in New York. I’m not kidding when I say she claims to have taken on some “Nazi elves” in the name battling all things Trump. 

“Just walked into a Christmas store in NY and someone arranged all the elf arms in nazi salutes. I’m sick to my stomach.” 

There are certainly a lot of questions that need to be answered here. What was the name of the store? Why would a store in New York, or anywhere else for that matter, do something like this? Is Nazi imagery a big marketing ploy in a liberal place with a large Jewish population? 

Milano didn’t include a picture of this horrible Nazi elf display, which may be the first indication that she’s lying. She obviously had her phone with her and was able to tweet out about the Nazi elves. 

Why couldn’t she take a quick picture to prove what she was saying was true. If I ever saw a Nazi elf display, I would take a picture of it......" 

"Milano didn’t want her children to see this atrocity so she took her kids out of the store while her valiant husband rearranged the Elves into less offensive poses. I have a couple of theories about what’s really going on here: 

The first one is that there isn’t a kernel of truth to this ridiculous story. I think Milano is so emotionally damaged by Trump’s presidency that she has to make shit up just so people will think she is fighting him and his make-believe white supremacist agenda. The fact that this story came out while Charlottesville was big news supports this. 

The second theory is that Milano actually went to a Christmas store and saw a display where elves had their hands raised like they were waving and because she is such an easily-triggered liberal nut, she naturally assumed they were giving Nazi salutes. Either way, I know for a fact that Alyssa Milano did not actually see Nazi elves displayed in a store in New York. 

I also know this is a cry for help from a liberal lunatic who can’t accept the results of a free election. If anything, she needs to resist the encroaching insanity." - BRIAN ANDERSON
