    Now cities move to tear down monuments offensive to Native Americans

    -Outrage from Native American activists and their supporters has led a liberal California city closer to tearing down what they considered an offensive monument — to President William McKinley.

    It’s the latest in a string of moves to scrap monuments decried as offensive to Native Americans — coming after the nationwide controversy over statues of Confederate leaders.

    The activists in Arcata, Calif., some 280 miles north of San Francisco, wanted the city’s 8½-foot bronze statue of McKinley taken down because they said the 25th president of the United States was a proponent of “settler colonialism” that “savaged, raped and killed,” the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous People told The Los Angeles Times.

    In February the City Council of the sanctuary city voted 4 to 1 to get rid of the statue.

    “Is there a difference between honoring McKinley and Robert E. Lee?” Mayor Sofia Pereira told the Times. “They both represent historical pain.”

    Arcata, according to the newspaper, was the first American city to ban the sale of genetically modified foods, the first to elect a majority Green Party city council and one of the first to allow marijuana farming before marijuana was legal.

    It’s the “Resist Movement”. They really think they are resisting evil. I live in an area where there is such an extreme spirit of intellectual elitism. They have a very smug attitude towards the rest of America and they think western values are harmful and need to be stamped out.

    Btw I stayed just a few blocks from YouTube headquarters in south San Francisco last night. My nephew’s SIL works there and thankfully was not working yesterday.

    Stamp out western values and then they will have nothing more to "resist". This is part of the anti-patriotic demonic move sweeping across America and poisoning our next generation.
