(Worthy News) -
Abraham Lincoln has joined George Washington on the list of those targeted by Chicagoans in a national debate over Civil War-era monuments.

Alderman Raymond Lopez took to Facebook Wednesday night to decry the defacing of a statue representing the nation’s 16th president in the Englewood neighborhood. The giant bust appears to have been damaged after someone in the 15th Ward sprayed and ignited a flammable liquid.

“What an absolute disgraceful act of vandalism. This bust of Abraham Lincoln, erected by Phil Bloomquist on August 31, 1926, was damaged & burned,” Mr. Lopez wrote, a local NBC affiliate reported. “If anyone has any information regarding this act, please contact the police or my office immediately.” [ Source (Read More...) ]

See. This isnt about removing monuments associated with being pro slavery. Its about erasing history. Silencing others. Destroying cultural stuff.

Precisely.   This is about erasing our history as a nation and it is not going to stop at statues.  Our founding documents may be next.

But here is my question...   We defended their "right" (so-called) to burn our "racist"  flag.  And now they are tearing down and burning monuments to history.   Why are okay with them burning the flag, but not burning up a statue of Abraham Lincoln?

Is destroying and attempting to erase our history on the grounds that it is "racist"  fall under protected speech?   Would that extend to destroying our founding documents, too?

Or, have we been operating from too broad of a definition of what constitutes constitutionally protected speech?

This statue (or really just a bust) is vandalized on a semi-regular basis and has been for years.

So Illinois is no longer the "Land of Lincoln"?

Who knows, but there have been idiots in the world for a long time,  we too often try and fit every action into our current narrative.  Often it is just idiots being idiots.

Moot point; the leftists are trying to rationalize,  and make light of, their compatriots' venom and destructiveness.

This kind of thing is not about grievances over slavery but hatred toward white people.  BLM is a completely racist organization that is behind things like this.  Even when they are perpetrated by wanna bes.  Sometimes the atrocities are actually committed by white people too. There could also be a lack of education involved.
