...I don't give a crap about monuments and statues anymore than I care for "yard art" or "yard trash" as I often refer to it, especially when someone's overdone it in the front yard. In fact, just because some neighbors do that here, after some years I finally decided to have my piece of yard trash and put a pink flamingo out there. Would you believe about a year later someone stole it?! So, to increase the fun I got a bigger one made from heavy concrete. Darn it, nobody stole it yet, so there it still sits.
Although I don't care that much about such items personally, I know those who attack the memorials are attacking you, me, and America, even if like burning something in effigy. THAT'S what matters, the motivations of such fools. It's truly not so much an attack just on statues, as an attack on American History.
