Yale Covers Over Its History, Literally
Over an entrance to Sterling Memorial Library on the campus of Yale University is a stone carving depicting an Indian and a Puritan. In the carving the Indian is holding a bow and the Puritan a musket ... that is until recently, when Yale decided to cover up the Puritan's musket. According to head librarian Susan Gibbons, the reason was that Yale's Committee on Art in Public Spaces decided the carving's "presence at a major entrance to Sterling was not appropriate." But she offered a caveat: The cover-up "can be removed in the future without damaging the original carving."
This decision by Yale is reminiscent of other art controversies. Renaissance artists, philosophers and clergy who were inspired by classical Greek sculpture art often chose to paint and sculpt the ideal human form in the nude as the Greeks had done. But during the Protestant Reformation, Catholic leaders seeking to respond to the criticism of the church being corrupt and perverse decided to literally cover up their nude artwork with fig leaves of stone or paint so as not to offend their flock.
Fast-forward 500 years and a similar mindset has appeared to grip those within academia. So afraid are they of offending, they have decided to hide the "embarrassing" parts of their history — in this case a gun — so as to appease masses. At Yale, it's not only happening with art work, it's happening with names. Recall last year that the university caved to revisionist demands that Calhoun College, named after the seventh vice president, be renamed because Calhoun was a slave owner and advocate of slavery. Once again, the justification for hiding history came out of the ill-begotten notion that protecting people from offense is more important than dealing with the challenging nuances of living in an imperfect world.
In order for a free society to exist, its citizens must be committed to the ideal that recognizes and protects the rights of others to freely have and express opinions and ideas which one may find offensive and even reprehensible. Thus far, Yale is failing to both instruct students in and uphold this high standard.

DEM COMMIE and RACIST CAUCUS
Leaders Demand HEADS Of 3 Top TRUMP Aides
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ More proof that the ever-increasing levels of pandering to racists of the past few decades has built to a point of critical mass and has got to come to a halt was provided by some of its biggest proponents, racist Democrats within Congress... The only group that doesn’t have a formal, race-based, divisive political caucus within the House are the white members, who represent all of their constituents, even those of a different color. Despite being accused of racism, they alone are doing or failing to do the people’s business regardless of considerations for what they look like or what type of extra privileges they demand to be entitled to. The existence of a racism-based caucus within the House of Representatives is offensive and does not represent American values or the Constitution. Yet, because they are Democrats, it is allowed and even held up reverently, as some sort of perverted justice. There’s nothing just about it aside from it being “just wrong.”... http://rickwells.us/dem-commie-racist-caucus-leaders-demand-heads-3-top-trump-aides/.
What the President Said Is True,
Whether You Like It Or Not
by Erick Erickson
{theresurgent.com} ~ The President saying there were “good people on both sides” of the Charlottesville protest may be the stupidest thing of all stupid things the man has said. No one should and no one to my knowledge is defending that... The other thing the President said, the thing that is actually generating way more outrage in the media, is actually true. The President again condemned the white supremacists by name as the press has wanted him to do. But he also pointed out there were violent people on the other side who showed up looking for a fight... http://theresurgent.com/what-the-president-said-is-true-whether-you-like-it-or-not/.
On Eve of Sentencing, The Lies
of Rasmea Odeh and Her Supporters Exposed
by William A. Jacobson
{legalinsurrection.com} ~ This coming Thursday, August 17, 2017, Rasmea will be sentenced in federal court in Detroit after a guilty plea to immigration fraud. By her plea agreement, Rasmea will be deported and will lose her U.S. citizenship, but will not serve any further jail time... Rasmea’s immigration plea resulted from her lies on immigration and naturalization forms in which she concealed a prior conviction and prison term for a 1969 supermarket bombing in Jerusalem that killed two Hebrew University students, Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner. Rasmea also concealed her conviction for the attempted bombing of the British Consulate that same year. Rasmea was released in a 1979 prisoner exchange for an Israeli soldier captured in Lebanon... http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/08/on-eve-of-sentencing-the-lies-of-rasmea-odeh-and-her-supporters-exposed/

In the statement released by WAFA, the official PA news agency, Abbas wished Jong-un “all health and happiness.”... His greetings did not mention the international tension following Jong-un’s threat to fire missiles toward the US Pacific territory of Guam in honor of Korea’s Liberation Day. Abbas wished “the Korean people continued stability and prosperity; and that the historical friendly relations between Palestine and North Korea and their two peoples will continue to develop and grow.” Earlier this year, Abbas sent his “blessings” to the Iranian regime in honor of the 1979 Iranian revolution:...He isn't or willing to have peace with Israel. http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/08/mahmoud-abbas-wishes-kim-jong-un-health-and-happiness/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29.

Tear Down the University of Virginia!
When Thomas Jefferson died on July 4th, 1826, the 50th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, he had left explicit instructions on what was to be engraved on his headstone: "Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and Father of the University of Virginia." In his letter of instruction, Jefferson noted that "these, as testimonials that I have lived, I wish most to be remembered." (Notably, there is no mention of his two presidential terms.)
Last October, a battle began brewing in Charlottesville — an effort to purge Thomas Jefferson from the University of Virginia because he had owned slaves. Jefferson reportedly even fathered a child with one of those slaves, the half-sister of his deceased wife.
In January, after liar-Hillary Clinton's demise and Donald Trump's inauguration, Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer hosted a rally declaring his town a "capital of resistance." Signer, who was chosen to be mayor by Charlottesville's leftist city council, a group of Berkeley wannabes, is himself a graduate of UC Berkeley and a rising darling of the Left.
Signer is a political hack for Virginia's alien governor and noted liar-Clintonista, Terry McAuliffe. He worked with John Podesta to elect Barack liar-nObama in 2008, and the following year joined McAuliffe's finance team.
As Charlottesville's mayor, Signer, who ironically teaches an undergraduate UVA seminar titled "Leadership, Statesmanship, and Democracy," established a "Blue Ribbon Commission on Race, Memorials, and Public Spaces" to rally support for dismantling historic statues of Virginia sons, including, most notably, Robert E. Lee. Of course, this was less about rallying support for removal of historic statues and more about rallying support for Signer's future political aspirations.
In February, our editor Thomas Gallatin wrote about the Charlottesville council's historical purges, noting, "We betray the historical record if we erase from it the narrative and perspective of those who experienced it. Indeed, it is the fool who rejects the lessons of the past in favor of his own modern prejudices."
Signer designated $1 million in funding to redesign parks featuring monuments to Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and Lee Park has since been renamed "Emancipation Park."
Over the weekend, fascist and socialist thugs from around the nation descended on that Charlottesville park and, predictably, the opposing protests turned violent, leaving one protester dead and many injured. Notably, two Virginia State Police officers, Lt. Jay Cullen and Trooper-pilot Berke Bates, were killed when the helicopter they were using to observe the protest crashed south of Charlottesville.
According to New York Times reporter Hawes Spencer, it was a mutual hate fest: "The entirety of Downtown Charlottesville looked like a war zone. Protesters maced each other, threw water bottles and urine balloons — some of which hit reporters — and generally beat the crap out of each other with flagpoles."
Just as predictable was the descent of the Demo/MSM propaganda machine on Charlottesville, and the Leftmedia outlets are having a field day with this disgraceful and tragic clash of competing hate factions. It provides top-of-the-fold fodder to accuse Trump, and anyone else on the conservative side of the political ledger, of benign sympathy with Nazi white supremacists. It also provides the Beltway echo chambers an opportunity to portray such hatred as "mainstream" rather than minuscule fringe elements of our society — because such hyperbolic reporting sells advertising.
For the record, while the white racists were being cast as "right-wing," both the clashing groups are anarchists — by definition, left-wing. Additionally, there were significant concerns about these hate factions erupting in violence well in advance of last Saturday. The current issue of The Atlantic notes the "Rise of the Violent Left." But as McAuliffe lamented, "You can't stop some crazy guy who came here from Ohio and used his car as a weapon."
Of course, Democrat leaders, ever the consummate race-bait political hustlers, will seize every chance to divert attention from the fact that their Party has been hijacked by neo-socialists — knowing that Democrat Socialism, like Nationalist Socialism, is nothing more than Marxist Socialism repackaged.
Condemning the violence in Charlottesville, Trump said, "We condemn in the strongest most possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. On many sides. No matter our color, creed, religion or political party we are all Americans first."
Naturally, that was not sufficient for the Leftmedia or Republicans who know full well those media outlets will label them as "soft on supremacists."
Sunday, the White House communications staff followed up with this assertion in response: "The President said very strongly in his statement yesterday that he condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and of course that includes white Supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups. He called for national unity and bringing all Americans together."
Former Trump campaign adviser Michael Caputo noted, "If Donald Trump called out every single white supremacist by name it would not be enough [because] we have had [white supremacy] hanging around our neck for decades."
Indeed, Democrats, the party of racist segregation, love to label Republicans, the party of emancipation, "racist."
Returning to the issue that was a catalyst for the clash of thugs in Charlottesville, if the historical erasers are going to tear down statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, then most certainly any monuments to Jefferson and George Washington should be purged, including those on the National Mall. And certainly the Declaration of Independence and the Statute of Virginia should be ceremonially burned, and Jefferson's University of Virginia should be leveled. In fact, Washington and Lee High School in Arlington, Virginia — Mayor Mike Signer's alma mater — should be torn down...
