Every day this week, we’re hearing about more confederate monuments and statues being removed, either by legislators or by Antifa mobs. Now, another historical memorial has been vandalized – the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
This morning, the National Park Service found vulgar graffiti on the memorial, according to NBC’s local D.C. news affiliate.
Someone has vandalized the Lincoln Memorial, the National Park Service says.
The words “F— law” were found written in red spray paint early Tuesday on a pillar at the monument that overlooks the Capitol building and National Mall, NPS said Tuesday afternoon. The graffiti was found about 4:30 a.m.
Work to remove the words is underway. A preservation crew is using a “mild, gel-type architectural paint stripper” to remove the paint without damaging the stone. The crew is applying a layer of the gel, rinsing it, checking how effective it was and repeating as necessary.Additional vandalism, in silver spray paint, was found on a sign on the 1400 block of Constitution Avenue. Any words were indecipherable.

This is unacceptable…
In recent years, the Lincoln Memorial has been vandalized multiple times, along with the D.C. War Memorial and Washington Monument. Last time,the graffiti appeared to say things like “Jackie shot JFK,” “blood test is a lie, leukemia, cancer HIV get a second option,” and “9/11/01 … pilots fly planes into WTC.”

In 2013, green paint was splattered on the Lincoln Memorial. The perpetrator was found and ruled unfit to stand trial. Removing the paint was expensive and took about a month.
Defacing historical monuments of any kind is unacceptable. They are a reminder of our great history, and we can not learn from the past by erasing memorials. Let’s hope the guilty parties involved in defacing the Lincoln Memorial are brought to justice.

Are we at the point of vandalizing our history? Why Lincoln of all men?
Find the limiting principle here, if you can.
We need to embrace our country’s history. When we lose our history, we become weakened by ignorance and easily led by those who seek to destroy us. (part of their plot) We need to learn and remember where we came from, rather than being doomed to repeat the same.

Laws against destruction of private/ government property was enforced in the past. It needs to be enforced again. These Thugs need to be put in jail and fined. MAKE them take control of themselves.

Robert E. Lee was not Hitler.
The neo-confederates are worried that taking down the confederate statues will destroy their history and their heritage. There are no statues of Hitler in Germany and no one forgot about him. There were no “good” people among the Nazi, KKK, white nationalists, etc. There might have been one who wandered into the crowd not knowing what was going on but if they didn’t leave immediately they could in no way be described as a good person. To find the truth about something like this you need to go to the ultimate expert in the field of racism and bigotry….David Duke…. who thanked Trump for telling the truth about what happened with the good people on his “side”. I am 65 yrs old and I have seen more faces of KKK, etc, on TV in the last year than ever. Its like the cockroaches are not afraid of the sunlight. Like William Johnson who wrote an Amendment to remove all non-whites from the US. He was on TV regurgitating racism and bigotry like a “good” person.
