like the Taliban, the memorials and statues are being attacked for political reasons.
The latest? Trumpieboy is visiting Mt Rushmore, and the press found the usual activists to protest.
Instead of playing political hate matches with the iconoclasts, could I suggest Trumpieboy visit the nearby CrazyHorse Monument while he's there?
the man behind the monument was one of those who carved Mt Rushmore, and his family has continued to carve the monument.
We always enjoyed visiting there, because they were still carving it when I lived in the area, and much of their work back then was being funded by private money, not a government project.
History.Com article on CrazyHorse.
The article discusses why the Whites wanted to take over the Black Hills (GOLD).
sigh.
