America, Your History Is Being Erased

"The US political left is no longer content with canceling thoughts and words but has taken its Orwellian sword to the annals of history as well. What will become of a nation that seeks to eliminate all vestiges of its past?
This was one battle that Robert E. Lee never stood a chance of winning. While the wily Confederate general may have outfoxed the US government on numerous occasions during the Civil War, like at the Battle of Chancellorsville and the First Battle of Bull Run, nothing could have prepared him for the formidable adversary known as the American progressive. Under the auspices of the ‘Swords into Plowshares’ initiative, the Charlottesville, Virginia monument to the Southern leader, one of the last in the country, now sits inside a foundry, chopped into numerous pieces, waiting to be forged into some new public works project that doesn’t offend modern sensitivities. And good luck with that.
...
This leads us to the $50,000 question: what will the 6,000 pounds (about 2,721.55 kg) of bronze that used to be Robert E. Lee and his horse be turned into? All things considered, it’s much easier to say what it will not be, and that’s some white dude, either living or dead, unless ‘they’ were born a biological female and pledge allegiance to the rainbow-colored flag and the 57 different genders. Still, we can make some wild guesses. How about a 300-foot bronze flagpole from where the good people of Charlottesville can hoist the multi-colored flag for the annual LGBTQ+ Pride Month? Or maybe a massive bronze throne from where Drag Queen Story Hours can take place, featuring cross-dressing wonders like Trixie Mattel, Alaska Thunderf*ck, and Sasha Velour, who will enlighten youngsters on the latest sexually charged reading material."

From Galt's speech: You expect industrial giants
– who plan in terms of decades, invest in
terms of generations and undertake
ninety-nine-year contracts – to continue
to function and produce, not knowing
what random caprice in the skull of what
random official will descend upon them
at what moment to demolish the whole
of their effort. Drifters and physical
laborers live and plan by the range of a
day. The better the mind, the longer the
range. A man whose vision extends to a
shanty, might continue to build on your
quicksands, to grab a fast profit and run.
A man who envisions skyscrapers, will
not. Nor will he give ten years of
unswerving devotion to the task of
inventing a new product, when he knows
that gangs of entrenched mediocrity are
juggling the laws against him, to tie
him,, restrict him and force him to fail,
but should he fight them and struggle
and succeed, they will seize his rewards
and his invention...
