or the amazing life size sculpture of Hirohito on horseback prominently displayed in Honolulu?

proof that we're a Christian nation: in America, we love our enemies.

To much cheering, if I remember correctly. Should it have remained in place?

These things need to be done legally. Shame to see how many irresponsible trolls post on this forum.

Check the TOS.

I was posting this in response to the guy who said this....

“I came to this march for the message that white European culture has a right to be here just like every other culture,” Cvjetanovic added, explaining he wanted to demonstrate against what he described as the “replacement of white heritage” and had come out to the march because of its protest over the removal of a statue of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville.

You might want to do a little research on what is out there before putting forth such atguement, lest the facts come out and make you look foolish.

The monument to Benedict Arnold doesn't name him, but is commemorating his actions specifically and can be found at Saratoga National Park.

There are monuments to many British dead at battlefields and cemeteries.

In West Organge NJ there is a monument know as Tory Corner commemorating loyalist forces who supported the crown.

There are many more examples if you look.
