They won't rest until every reference to the founding of this country is vilified and removed. https://www.whsv.com/content/n...liday-512111421.html Charlottesville City Council votes to remove Thomas Jefferson holiday CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) — Charlottesville City Council voted to officially remove Thomas Jefferson's birthday, April 13, as a holiday. At a city council meeting on Monday evening, councilors voted to to remove the day as a city holiday. To replace it, Freedom and Liberation Day has been declared a holiday on March 3. It's to commemorate the day enslaved people in Charlottesville were officially emancipated by U.S. troops at the end of the Civil War. Removing the celebration of Jefferson was voted on four-to-one with Kathy Galvin being the only "no" vote. "Thomas Jefferson already has 365 holidays and I do think that is the case here in Charlottesville," Councilor Bellamy previously said. "You literally can't go anywhere within our city without hearing or seeing a reminder of Thomas Jefferson." "Doing away with Thomas Jefferson's birthday doesn't do away with the history," said Galvin, noting Jefferson's contributions to the country and Charlottesville. "That birthday is still here. What he has done in the past is there." Adding Freedom and Liberation Day was a separate vote and was voted on unanimously. The city council also added a floating holiday to make a total of 12 holidays, evening out with the number of holidays Albemarle County employees get. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | ||

So color me curious...what is it EXACTLY the Leftists want to say IS the history of this country? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Lets all remember it was this council's politically correct decision to remove Confederate statues from the city, that resulted in the deaths of three people including two state police officers. Are these people too stupid to realize that such a vote in a Southern city would cause protests and demonstrations ?These people have blood on their hands and they are still at it. I don't understand how this is happening. Are people over the age of 22 prohibited from voting in Charlottesville ? | |||

Before 1492, America was inhabited by peaceful Natives living in harmony with Nature. Then the evil white Europeans arrived, murdering the Natives and enslaving Africans while preying on and raping Nature. And then the Great Black Hope Barrack was made the Savior, the oceans receded, and the Earth healed itself. End of your Social Justice Warrior History lesson. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!
