Mobs
in this process. We must remember the good; that’s legacy. We must avoid repeating the bad; bad is sin. Remember, statues can be idols. As one blood, one human race; it’s time to return to God.”
America’s citizens are demanding that elected officials safeguard public and private monuments and buildings from rioters and leftist radicals who are inspired by self-professed “trained Marxists.”
The federal government has been spurred on by a recent Executive Order by President Trump, which instructs federal law enforcement to prosecute people who damage federal monuments, and threatens to withhold federal funding from state and local gov
ernments that fail to protect their own public monuments and statues.
The Department of Homeland Security took action to protect federal monuments over the July 4 holiday; however, many state and local officials have been cowardly and the result is lawlessness and violence in our streets.
The American Constitutional Rights Union is taking names. Literally. Our project Protect Monuments ( www.protectmonuments.org) encourages public officials to sign a pledge to protect public and private monuments and buildings.
Why private? Black Lives Matter member Sean King recently called for destruction of images of a “European Jesus” stating on twitter: “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down.
They are a gross form white supremacy. Created as tools of oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.”
We have no qualms about calling out cowardly politicians and officials who refuse to stand up for civil discourse over lawlessness.
“Just as we fight every day to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans. We will not sit idly while domestic terrorists, anarchists and thugs criminally destroy monuments and private property. We will call out any public official who allows lawlessness and destruction,” according to ACRU Policy Board Member Amb. J. Kenneth Blackwell.
Stop the mobs. Then start the discussions.
