"You take over our cities, you ruin our monuments, you sucker punch old people - all that was your ticket to be noticed. We have allowed you to swing your fist as hard and wide as you want. But has hit the jaw of the rest of us. And the nose. Those days are over. You are done."
What right, do you think you possibly have, to ruin part of our national heritage? We agree, some of it is smudged - but most is not. Senator Tim Scott (R-NC) was on the news this morning. First, let me mentioned he is black. And he has been discriminated against earlier in his life. But what he said was poignant. "This is part of our history. The uncomfortable parts, are not ones we celebrate - we learn from them. When we destroy those monuments, we can no longer learn from them". BINGO!
This country is good. We have done good. However, we have had some growing pains. And we have fixed them. All of them? Not yet, but we are working on them. The best way to further divide this country, and erase what has been fixed, is doing what you are right now. You are sandblasting any social progress you have made in the past, and replaced it with anarchy, treason and sedition.
Today for the umpteenth time, we visited Mount Rushmore. This is hallowed ground not only for the people from all over this country, but especially the folks who live in South Dakota. Their state motto has been "Great Faces, Great Places". If for some reason, you decide to take a run at our most famous monument - be warned. The Park Police, the FBI, the anything - will be the least of your worries. Worry more about the armed citizens and patriots.
You take over our cities, you ruin our monuments, you sucker punch old people - all that was your ticket to be noticed. We have allowed you to swing your fist as hard and wide as you want. But has hit the jaw of the rest of us. And the nose. Those days are over. You are done. If you have a first aid kit, keep it handy. Your days of being "tough" are over. Time to back into hiding.
