How Taliban of them.
At least one RWNJ candidate for governor advocated the destruction of the Guidestones - and now is calling for the prosecution of whoever did blow them up. (Sorry, no link handy.) The poster on another site who said this said it didn’t make sense, but it did to me. There’s a big difference between demolishing something with a permit and appropriate methods, and setting off a random bomb. What if people were there when it went off?
Regardless, I’m curious about what’s in the time capsule.
A crazy old coot who was a white supremacist David Duke fanboy, and one of the ‘ten commandments’ on the stones was about selective breeding.
It’s as if the Taliban blew up a Nazi monument. Yay, I think?
Well, everybody but him and the kooks who think a secretive cabal has been controlling world history behind the scenes for centuries and likes to leave huge clues of what they’re doing right out for for “smart” people like themselves to notice.
Yeah, politicians calling for their destruction are just riffing on the calls for destruction of statues of confederate generals. “OH, you want to tear down a statue of Jefferson Davis??? Well, we’ll call for destroying…uh…The Georgia Guidestones! There, tit for tat!”
I think is was more of a “Don’t eff your cousins thing.”
Noticed the article referred to the guidestones as America’s Stonehenge. We already had a real copy of Stonehenge in Maryhill, Washington. It was built as a memorial to those that died in World War 1. Been there a couple times and will be there again next month, going camping at a state park that is just below the memorial. Nice view of the Columbia River gorge there.
I recently visited Bamahenge, which is pretty nice, but doesn’t have nearly the view of the Maryhill Henge, where you can see Mt Hood on a clear day.
I’ve camped at Maryhill State Park–nice but very windy when I was there.(No surprise that it’s a premiere sailboarding spot). The campground is right next to some orchards and a fruit stand that had the best peaches I’ve ever tasted.
Stone Mountain!
I’m torn: on the one hand I hate political terrorism, on the other hand, if they set up a howitzer and charged $100 a shot, I’d be out a couple thou.
I have also been to Bamahenge! It’s such a strange thing, but worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood
Will they be going after Carhenge next?
Or Boathenge in Missouri?
Just leave Manhattanhenge alone.
This is the correct answer. The guidestones themselves are nothing special, just a mildly eugenicist take on how to run the world. But anyone crazy enough to blow them up is probably also crazy enough to attack people or things that we actually do care about, so this should be seriously investigated.
Plus, it’s a property crime, so there’s also that.
Maybe it should have also said: “Don’t blow shit up.”
Something is mysteriously put up that’s not fully understood.
Hey! Let’s blow it up!
It doesn’t make me any difference. It would be great if at least some rational thought had gone into the response.
How very Planet of The Apes of them.
Although in their case the apes pulled down the Omega missile, not blew it up. Though the outcome was the same: Earth-shattering Kabloowie.
It should come as no surprise that the unknown and un-understood is feared, hated, and attacked.
How’d that work out for them? 
Too bad, like evangelicals, they’ll never know how wrong they were.
A lot of art has elicited that response. One extreme example culminated on March 20, 1939, in the courtyard of the “Old Fire Station” in Berlin. A large collection of so-called “degenerate art” was burned.
