Connecticut Democrats scrub Jefferson and Jackson

[BillB]

I told you this was coming.
There will be more of it.
I predict that soon there will be a strong movement to demolish or rename the Jefferson Memorial and maybe the Washington Monument.

Under pressure from the NAACP, the [Connecticut] state Democratic Party will scrub the names of the two presidents from its annual fundraising dinner because of their ties to slavery.

Party leaders voted unanimously Wednesday night in Hartford to rename the Jefferson Jackson Bailey dinner in the aftermath of last month’s fatal shooting of nine worshipers at the historic black church in Charleston, S.C.

The decision is believed to be unprecedented and could prompt Democrats in other states with similarly-named events to follow suit.

The USSR (Stalin in particular) was notorious for air brushing officials who had fallen out of favor, from the history books. What we are seeing today reflects the same mentality.

Hahahaha! The 'rats just airbrushed the founder of their own Party!
LOLOL

Any mention of George Washington, the father of our country, is to be immediately replaced with "old false teeth".

I wonder if I will live long enough to see them start going after their own sacred cows because that's all that is left.

I think we will.
Once they've knocked off Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, they'll keep going.
Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson were virulent racists. They may be too historically stupid to know it, though.

Wilson was a scum-sucking dirtbag. And a terrible president. And a worse statesman.
Wilson was such a horrible person that he actually RE-segregated the federal government.
