Biden administration will REMOVE William Penn statue in Pennsylvania

If we're going to continue to judge people on future mores, I pray that any woke lib that's ever had a steak has their statue torn down. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but...

"It takes more energy to feed someone meat... the environment... unfair to chickens..." Down goes the FDR memorial and some Obama statues and some George Floyd statues, etc. And, I hope these idiots live long enough to see the stupidity that they've unleashed come back on them.

Since you feel strongly about the rehabilitation of this park, I encourage you to submit your feedback to the National Park Service via the link below. They're explicitly soliciting feedback on the proposal, so you can convey your thoughts.

And if you find yourself in the City of Brotherly Love, I suggest you take a peek up at the top of City Hall, which is right at the geographic center of Center City. You'll see William Penn prominently perched 500+ feet in the air, proudly watching over the city.

Hope they don't remove the statue of Rocky and the O'Jays.

why don't people realize that snowflakes melt before they become one?

Are you going to cry op snowflake?

For now. I wonder how much it will cost the taxpayers when they decide to take it down. I'm sure it will be quite expensive to bring in one of those massive cranes that can reach that high.

feels weird. I love the idea of taking down confederate flags and statues, that's low hanging fruit. They lost, they don't represent american values, offensive. But I dont know where it stops. Why does Penn need to come down? I didn't see an actual reason. How about just add statues.

Judging historical figures by modern standards is abject stupidity.

You "love" the idea of taking down statues of men you've never heard of and know nothing about because they offend you.

This is the problem with taking down any statue just because it "offends someone". It is inevitable that all the statues will have to come down because no one in the past was perfect.

A left-of-center official finding some reason to remove a statute of a white guy is hardly even news at this point.

I'm actually a little more worried about them describing this as a "rehabilitation" of the park. Lefties love their language games, but using that term gives off some serious Soviet Union or Great Leap Forward vibes. That's probably where a lot of the lefties who have influence over the Biden administration would like us to go. I doubt Biden even when he still had a functioning brain would be in favor of this kind of thing personally.

I think its utterly silly to lump confederate flags and statues in with these other things. The confederacy lost a war where they were fighting in part to protect slavery. Unless you are Nikki Haley, everyone knows that. Lets not glorify them, lets glorify people who fought for the whole country. There are better choices. American flags? WW2 heroes? The fact that states still flew the confederate flag in the 2000s is crazy. Kind of sends a message how you feel about race relations doesn't it? Kind of makes it sound like yall yearn for the good ol' days. That's adversarial and not good for anyone.

I lived in the deep south (SC), they did not celebrate memorial day. Wasn't on the calendar at work ( it is technically a federal holiday). They called it "confederate day", which is a day you have off in either April or early may! Still a holiday in several southern states. That's all you need to know. Now you know

Think about it. All statues in mankind's history have eventually come down.

The only questions is when.

It is not necessary to be butt hurt about it.

New names for Pennsylvania:

Fettermanhattan?

Bidendianapolis?

Marcianota?

Santa Nova?

The typical soldier in the confederate army was not fighting for slavery and not one of these statues has anything to do with slavery.

We don't put up new statues of these things because there are better choices TODAY. Tearing them down because we don't like the choices of the past is Taliban behavior.

When your family dies in a war you don't pretend they didn't exist because the cause of the war wasn't just.

Do you tell people who's loved ones died in Iraq that they're scumbags and that their kid died for big oil?

Soldiers do not choose the causes they fight for. Governments do.

Only a Member of the "Cult" would believe that Biden, made the single decision to remove a statue from a public park !!

People don’t understand how debilitatingly hard it is to be a straight white or Asian male. I’m constantly bullied, I want to cry.

You give Biden personal credit for anything you think is a good thing but pretend he's not involved in the rest of his administration because other people are in a cult. Got it.

What the Child in the Room fails to understand is most historical figures were also judged in their time and found wanting, just not by the majority
