Do you remember a few years back, when the left started targeting historic statues for removal from public sight and even destruction in some cases?

At the time, people on the left insisted that it was just about Confederate statues. That was a lie.

In 2021, New York City removed a statue of Theodore Roosevelt from the Natural History Museum.

Now, the city hall in Albany, NY has removed a statue of Philip Schuyler, a Revolutionary War hero and the father-in-law of Alexander Hamilton.

The people behind this move claim it was because Schuyler owned slaves, but that is nothing more than a progressive excuse to tear down American symbols. That argument is straight off of a liberal college campus.

The New York Post reports:

Century-old statue of Revolutionary War hero removed in NY over slavery

A nearly century-old statue of the Revolutionary War hero Gen. Philip Schuyler — one of Albany’s largest slave owners — was removed from outside city hall in the state capitol Saturday morning.

A moving crew took nearly three hours to haul the statue off its base and load it onto a trailer.

It’s now destined for an undisclosed storage facility until the city can decide what to do with it.

The removal cost about $40,000, according to NewsChannel 13 Albany.

The nine-foot depiction of Schuyler — who was a New York senator and the father-in-law of Alexander Hamilton — may also contain a time capsule with maps, coins, and other knick-knacks dating from its unveiling in 1925, the Albany Times Union reported.

Despite his prominence in American history, Schuyler came in for criticism after the death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots carried out around the country in 2020.

The point is completely lost on the left:

If it weren't for Philip Schuyler, the statue out front would be of our king. https://t.co/8Pd08l1HzD

Oh, no! He owned slaves! We must take down his statute to destroy your history and to improve our perpetually offended, excuse-making, miserable lives.

Elihu Yale, the founder of Yale University, was directly involved in the slave trade, but no one is trying to cancel him. Isn’t that strange?

Senator Josh Hawley commented on the Trump indictment this week while speaking at an event in Colorado.

He said that if the people in power can jail their political opponents, then we no longer have a republic. Of course, he is right. This is banana republic stuff.

Democrats are willing to burn the country down in their lust for maintaining power and their hatred of Trump.

Breitbart News reported:

Josh Hawley on Trump Indictment: ‘We Don’t Have a Republic Anymore’ If You Can Jail Political Opponents

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) weighed in on Donald Trump’s indictment, saying at the Western Conservative Summit on Friday, “We don’t have a republic anymore” if you can jail your political opponents.

Hawley spoke at the summit, hosted by the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University, weighing in on the left’s increasing politicization of the federal government.

He said that America is in a moment of great “danger,” contending that the decisions made in the next four to six years will determine the fate of the country for the next 50 to 60 years — or if America will even remain a country 50 or 60 years from now.

“It is a moment of danger” because the left is “assaulting the very foundations of our nation,” Hawley contended…

“All I can say about it this, if the people in power can put in jail their political opponents, we don’t have a republic anymore, that’s the danger we’re in,” Hawley charged.

Hawley made the same point on Twitter.

If the people in power can jail their political opponents at will, we don’t have a republic

The trouble with this is that the Democrats just don’t seem to care.

Their hatred of Trump matters more to them than the health of the nation.
