My mind is totally boggled by this. Can't think of anything else to say.

I'd like to see how many member they have before they remove it and how many they have afterwards.

Communists like to make history disappeare.

Push back. Every chance you get where one or more of these GDCs show their red ass(es).

Speak up, call them on their bullshit, tell them you and many others are fed up and tired of their shit and will do every legal thing you can, when you can to push them and their agenda back into the place it belongs.

Right now, they are emboldened by the Marxist education institutions and propaganda driven 24x7 "news" and other media.

But if people will be "silent majority" no more, I believe the tide can be turned and turned quickly (in comparison to how long it took is to get to this point).

But, make no mistake, these people, the SJW, BLM, AntiFA and all like them, are domestic enemies of the Constitution and what makes this nation the nation it is and was created to be.

I chose a while back to not remain silent, and unless there is a belief by them that "someone has their back" they slink off rather quickly when confronted. Individually, they are weak and fearful. Like most feral packs of domesticated types, they are bold in numbers, or if they think that have a weak prey.

"Privately Owned, Not Government Funded. Thanks to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, Washington's estate has welcomed more than 80 million visitors to date—and at no expense to taxpayers".


80 million white supremacists paying tribute to a slave holder. Obviously this practice must stop. Next thing Mt.Vernon will be a magnet for protestors. Protests will inevitably turn violent. In the interest of public safety, it will be closed to visitors.

Antifa/blm would love to see it burn down.

Why these commies are allowed to tear down our institutions and history is only because, unlike these radical America haters, we tend to behave. For how long is the question.

George Washington risked everything to help create our country.

If he had been captured, he would have been hung.

If we had lost, his lands would have been confiscated.

The odds against him were recognized as being very bad.

Yet he risked it all and prevailed.

And now pin heads not worthy of speaking his name, dishonor his memory.

"Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”

So when will the sane members of that church decide to find another church in which to worship?

And the sheer stupidity of our country today is actually frightening when one considers how wide spread it has become.

What is slavery never existed in America? Meaning - Africans were never brought to North America. (because we know that slavery did exist within the Native American communities long before Europeans set foot in North America)

Seriously - consider the historical implications.

The country has collectively lost its mind.

I agree, and think things will get uglier. We can't compromise our principles.

“Damnatio memoriae” is a modern Latin phrase literally meaning "condemnation of memory", meaning that a person must not be remembered.

That is what is happening across this country.

Back to the plaque making people feel unsafe...it's nice to know that 241 years later Washington's name still scares enemies of American freedom

Bingo. I nominate this for the winners circle. Why not do a letter to editor? If not I'll gladly steal it!

Amen. Very well said.

I was just reading a book that mentioned shortly before the Battle of Trenton, when the enlistments for his troops were about to run out, and Congress was not being supportive, King George offered amnesty to all who would renounce the rebellion and pledge their loyalty to the Crown. As part of this amnesty, leaders of the rebellion, including Washington, would have been allowed to keep their lands and property.

Washington chose to go forward against his personal interests. God bless him and all who served with him.

If you're just going to throw that away, can I have it?

This is the link to the plaque.

I tried to post the photo here but it was enormous.

So, how on earth would anyone be offended by a plaque with a cross on it inside a Christian Church?

Go for it

The "church" has a Q&A page:

Some nice comments.

Here's the article about it from today's Washington Post. Alexandria is heavily Democrat/liberal which no doubt is the reason the parishioners can be comfortable in removing the plaque honoring a person without whom they would be living in a whole other world. Actually makes sense when you consider these are probably the same people who no doubt have different views about the flag and patriotism.
