As American politicians cower before BLM, they get a lesson in courage from...France


President of France Macron disavows racism, but says STATUES WILL STAY.  
Brandon Moore of RedState provides a transcript:
"We will be inflexible when it comes to tackling racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination, and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances," Macron said in the video. "But this noble fight is perverted when it turns into communitarianism, into a false rewriting of history."
"This is unacceptable when it is picked up by separatists. I tell you very clearly tonight my dear fellow citizens, the Republic will not erase any trace or name from its history," he continued. "It will not forget any of its deeds or take down any statue. What we need to do is to look all together with lucidity on all of our history and all our memory. Our relation to Africa in particular so we can build a present and a possible future from one to the other side of the Mediterranean."
If the Republic survives, this era will become an enduring blot of shame for the madness tolerated and even promoted by the commanding heights of our political, corporate, academic, and media establishments — in other words, our entire institutional leadership class.'

I am sick at heart that our entire political leadership is cowering before mobs of vandals seeking to destroy our collective memory of the past.  But now we see mob rule imitating the tactics of the Red Guards of China's Cultural Revolution, who destroyed that nation's precious artistic and literary heritage in the name of revolutionary purity, and the Taliban in Afghanistan, who blew up ancient Buddhist statues — to almost universal condemnation outside the Islamic world.
Slavery may be the "original sin" of America, but until recent days, courage has been seen as more of an American virtue than a French one.  But where is the condemnation of the vandalism of our historic artistic heritage by mobs tearing down statues, rather than following democratic processes and getting them removed to museums or less public display areas, which would be a perfectly reasonable solution to offense taken at honoring heroes of the Confederacy?
Did anyone ever expect that the president of France would teach a lesson in courage to the POTUS?

We are sitting idly by while the Law of the Jungle is destroying our history, our heritage and all the other things that made this the greatest nation in history.  For what?  For a pack of lies being peddled by        neo-racists and proto-Marxists?  I never thought I'd see horrible days like this in this country and I think we need to start thinking the unthinkable, because this is not going to fix itself and I choose not to become a serf to some socialist fat cats in DC.   Will you?
 
Here Are the Heroes Whose Statues Black Lives Matter Has Attacked

The Cultural Consequences When Fathers Abandoned Children

Rarely is the lack of fatherhood more evident than when observing the social entropy of urban civil unrest.

Mark Alexander

"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... In vain are schools, academies, and universities instituted, if loose principles and licentious habits are impressed upon children in their earliest years." —John Adams (1778)

AMERICA RETIREMENT INSIDER 06/17/2020 TELL BIDEN "STAY IN THE BASEMENT!"

Hi Fellow Patriot,
This is starting to become a broken record. Biden hides in basement and all is good. Biden leaves his basement, even if it is only virtually, and everything goes down the tube. Biden’s handlers try their best to hide his rapidly declining mental acuity so he can get elected President and they can take control of the White House.

EAGLES FORUM 06/17/2020 WHY WE MUST STAND UP TO THE LEFT'S (Democrats!) POWER GRAB!

Believe Your Eyes and Ears. These People Are Serious.

Editor’s Note:

Most Americans’ heads are spinning right now after watching the past three weeks of violence and destruction breaking out in cities across the land. The triggering event in Minneapolis was immediately and universally denounced, but the crisis could not be wasted by radicals on the Left. As Mike Gonzalez with The Heritage Foundation describes, the protests and riots have nothing to do with race but everything to do with destroying the fabric of this nation. We need to believe what they say and make sure they aren’t successful. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
