Monument Destroying FrenzyBy Mike Huckabee President Trump was pilloried for saying that if we let people tear down Confederate monuments, they’d next go after Washington and Jefferson. He turned out to be right (Al Sharpton said he doesn't want his tax money paying for those monuments, which ignores the fact that my taxes pay for many things I don't support, and unlike Al, allegedly, I actually pay them). In fact, the history-obliterating frenzy has spread so far so fast, it’s now being aimed at every monument to every human being with flaws, from Christopher Columbus to former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo. Even Dolly Parton’s Civil War-themed dinner theater is under assault. It’s become so over-the-top that even the New York Times realizes it’s threatening to hurt Democrats (being thought of as violent, irrational and insane does tend to depress your support at the polls), and Democratic strategist Paul Begala is warning his party that they are driving into a trap. However, you’ll never guess who he blames for all this monument-smashing hysteria. If you said, “Donald Trump,” give yourself a kewpie doll.
