Teddy Roosevelt

All Communist subversion. They want the shooting war.

And then they were tearing down Abe Lincoln. In a year their gonna be destroying MLK...

Liberalism is no longer classic liberalism. Classical liberalism is a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties under the rule of law with an emphasis on economic freedom. Today's liberals no longer believe this. Where are those liberals calling for liberty and freedom? It's the opposite.

How long until the war on statues moves to cemeteries? A week?

I think Teddy’s statues should stay up; he was a Progressive, after all, back when that philosophy had some currency in the Republican Party. He broke the mold in many ways and was a consequential President.

He still held attitudes on colonialism that are shockingly retrograde by today’s standards, and I guess that’s why some are upset.

On a personal level, TR seems to me to have been somewhat forward-thinking on race issues for a white gentleman of his time, but he still believed in the superiority of whites. His exact views on race whatever they were didn’t translate into many meaningful policies, unfortunately.

Arrest anyone that defaces or destroys public property like the law says. Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Anyone that burns or loots gets thrown in jail. Simple.

Now if they want to petition their government to have statues removed that's an entirely different issue, of course once they do that we'll have to talk to the UN since all public parks are UN property.
