The best objection that they could think of was that Bin Laden wasn’t American?
You can’t blame them; it was something they just pulled out of their ass because the cognitive dissonance was starting to hurt.
It explains a lot that the have to remove cognitive dissonance through their ass.
John Walker Lindh was an American who fight for the Taliban, where’s his statue?
Fort Santa Anna?
“Mammy” statue damn near got restored to Arlington National Cemetery. I’m starting to get the idea the pubbies don’t give a fuck about decency. And I’d bet real money that’s exactly how Representative Hakeem Jeffries feels. He had this wonderful query for the scum who voted in favor of that nonsense. (Link goes to Yahoo; bolding is mine.)
“What exactly is the confederate tradition that extreme MAGA republicans, in 2024, are upholding and you want to use the National Defense Authorization Act to turn back the clock on progress that has been made,” Jeffries said on Friday.
He added, “Is it slavery, rape, kidnap, Jim Crow, lynching, racial oppression or all of the above?”

A Confederate statue in D.C. that was toppled, graffitied and set alight five years ago is being repaired and returned to its perch, the National Park Service said Monday.
The statue of Albert Pike, a Confederate Army brigadier general whose wartime career lasted less than two years, is scheduled to be back on its plinth about a mile east of the White House in October.
Protesters toppled this Confederate statue. Now, it’s coming back to D.C.

They’re erasing the history of it being torn down!
They just want to make it clear the direction our nation is headed. The Confederates won, in the end.
I believe the traditional response is to cover them in tar and feathers.
And another one to probably be restored:
Gather them all up and display them in an area called Loser Park.
At the bottom of a bay.
I’m told a rust and aluminum powder coat can give a satisfying “finish” to the statues.
With a little magnesium, too, for that extra shine.
Still, it’s regrettable that Matthew Maury was stripped of his legacy due to his (not especially significant) contribution to the Confederacy. I guess it’s like the old joke “but ya shag one sheep…”
