Let's take down this racist's statue in D.C.!!!

And people can still do good things, even if they have crappy beliefs; just like people with great beliefs can do bad things sometimes.

Nobody is perfect, so if we all took anything bad people did as a reason not to like anything else about them, nobody would like anybody.

LOL. Right. You are such a clown. Let's apply your (faulty) logic to Adolf Hitler, namely, all the good that he and the Nazis did:

  1. Free public healthcare. Banning smoking in public.
  2. "None shall starve nor freeze" - welfare programs for the needy.
  3. Affordable housing.
  4. Farmers were provided crop insurance and given subsidies to encourage self-sufficiency.
  5. Industrial production in various industries was consolidated, again to encourage self-sufficiency. Volkswagen / Porsche / BMW - all benefited from state contracts & resources. Guess who wanted an affordable family car for all Germans?
  6. Passing animal cruelty laws.
  7. Created the V2 rocket - the basis of all modern space rockets.

Did I leave anything out? Like the killing of 10m innocent people? Now, what do you think we should remember him for?

And in the same manner, why should we remember Churchill for only fighting Hitler when the whole of him tells another story entirely?

Judge who accused Barr of "distorting" Mueller report demands answers after reading unredacted copy Ocasio-Cortez: "I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful. It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress. But our job is to serve, not rule." Rebecca J. Kavanagh (Public Defender): "Roger Stone was just released on a $250,000 personal assurance bond.He does not have to put up one penny. Just to promise to pay that amount if he does not return to court.My clients are held in jail on $500 bail they cannot afford for stealing a bar of soap." Robert Reich: "Senate Republicans have refused to vote to reopen the U.S. government, but have no problem voting to lift sanctions on a Russian oligarch. That should tell you a lot about their priorities." This shutdown is not bad governance: it's an act of sabotage that's happening in front of our eyes. Paul Ryan now enjoys the peace of mind that when he turns 50—in less than two years—he will enjoy a defined-benefits pension of about $79k annually for the rest of his life, funded by the same taxpayers whose Social Security he's been trying to cut or privatize his entire career. In the TAX PLAN they put in: An abortion law reclassifying life at conception. A clause to drill oil in Alaska’s arctic wildlife preserve. Pulled the mandate for the ACA. 13 million lose insurance. We won’t forget: 2018 is gonna be a massacre. EPA bans grant recipients from serving on science boards Beautiful anti-Trump parody of "The Sound of Silence" Let's take down this racist's statue in D.C.!!! Alt-right rally in Boston cancelled after counter-protesters outnumber them 300 to 1 Just reminding everyone that Trump signed an EO to remove national parks, but is fighting tooth and nail to keep statues of Robert E. Lee. White supremacist Chris Cantwell: "We've done everything in our power to keep this peaceful." Day after saying: "We will fucking KILL these people." My mom's religious and Pro Trump. I constantly tell her she's supporting Satan's plan by supporting Trump. She legit responds with angry demonic shrieks. CNN was fully within its rights to reveal the name of the 30-40+ year old alt-righter/neo-Nazi who was involved in a national news story--that's one of the things the news does, name people in national news stories--but refrained from doing so even though he has posted heinously racist things
