She is, in fact, Norwegian...so I sent an email to the Guardian, suggesting that she f*cked off back to Norwegia. Seems that it offended their sensibilities [the Guardian has sensibilities? Who knew?] and it was not published.

Black slaves? What about press-ganged Englishmen? Seems to me the British Navy was an equal-opportunity employer long before that was fashionable.
NOT suggesting there's a problem with the statue, of course. Nelson was a great Admiral, and a key reason we don't all have to speak French!

AckksThe USC Trojans mascot is named Traveler IX and people are flipping out because it’s too close to Robert E. Lee’s horse Traveller??? OK...I hope no one tells them the ancient Greeks kept slaves. Awkward...

I'd burn it to the ground before I'd let that happen.

I hope that all of BLM takes up this demand and rallies for it all over the country. Truly. Please let it happen....

If anybody tries that, even over here, demanding that I give him MY home, he'll be getting a Berger with no fries.

Sounds like the left is going all in, but they are going to over play their hand.

Because PC is a false principle and cannot be applied universally. The more conditional a principle is, the more false it is....

2012BOSS302Thought for today: Black people who were never slaves, are fighting white people who were never nazis, over a Confederate statue erected by democrats, because democrats can't stand their own history anymore, and somehow it's Trumps fault.

They are already doing that with the Jefferson Memorial in DC.

This is about hate and power, race is a ploy.
