Go make your own statue

Alba Said: First they came ... is a poem written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazis rise to power and subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution, guilt and responsibility.

Congrats, you just made a very simple concept, complicated.

Redneck translation: Y'all best help me when they're jacking with my stuff, err else I won't help you when theyz jack with yers.

That quote is used extensively by both sides. It applies equally don't it?

The libbies do not grasp the whole Fee Speech concept. They think it only applies to them.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

---Niemöller

Seems like a simple enough solution. If an American wants a statue of Robert E. Lee, or whoever, or whatever, then quite simply.....make it. Or have it made. Or buy it. Then you can have a statue. In your yard. Even in your community.

Seems American enough.

What seems UN American, is traveling to someone else's property, city or town, and telling them what they MUST do with their own statues and property.

A Gross violation of States rights and individual rights. If you ask me.

If a group of people traveled from throughout the USA and came to Kouts,IN and told us residents that our sidewalks needed to be removed. Or left in place. Or painted. Or whatever....I'd think that they were elitists from the federal government.
