Another American Icon Targeted and Cleansed

History has a way of repeating itself. When all reminders of a nation’s history are removed, they are bound to be forgotten, and a forgotten history among later generations, opens the doorway for repeated history. All the destruction of monuments in recent history, to include the here and now has been due to a minority of people disliking the facts behind these reminders. First it was Robert E. Lee, then Stonewall Jackson…The Confederate Flag…generic Confederate symbols. Now we are talking about Christopher Columbus, General Washington, …Thomas Jefferson…having their image and names cleansed from historical memorials.

The long arm of the Politically Correct Schutzstaffel (SS) has done it again. They have reached back into recent history, specifically the 1930’s and indicted, convicted, condemned, and removed a statue honoring the late singer Kate Smith. Smith, who popularized “God Bless America” and was a female forerunner in early television, recorded songs that today in hindsight are viewed as xenophobic. By whom, we can only imagine.

As for Kate Smith, when these PC masqueraders of indignity of the present, with respect to the past accomplish anything promoting America, as did this great singer, then we can talk. Am I implying to expurgate Ms. Smith is over the top and unjustified? Your damn right! When was the last time anyone from the rank and file of the Corps of the Politically Correct effectuated anything constructive to Make America Great? When was the last time any of these PC charlatans went to a combat zone to entertain our troops? Smith did. She donated her time to entertain troops during World War II. The PC crowd gives her no credit for that. Who’s next? Bob Hope!

Suggestion to those on the Left who embolden and use the PC righteous pawns, why not focus on efforts that will significantly help the underprivileged and marginalized. How about providing food for America's hungry, shelter for homeless vets, border security for those living on our Southern border? Meaningless imagery improves nothing. Does this not describe today’s Democrat?

Final comments follow: Can those who identify as liberal ideologues really think history can be re-written by removing statues, historical names from text books, or ignoring historicity?  "Any fool can criticize and complain, and most fools do."
