The lowlifes that inhabit Washington had decided that William Penn’s statue in Pennsylvania needed to be removed. I guess these lowlifes felt that someone who was moral and upright as a person is not someone to be remembered. The outcry against this removal seems to have saved the statue for now.
Dr. Tom Woods has weighed in the issue.
You may have heard of plans by the National Park Service to remove a statue of Pennsylvania’s founder, William Penn, from a historic site in Philadelphia.
Remember when it was Confederate statues they were taking down, and some people were duped into thinking that this was all about rectifying historical injustices?
But remember when other people warned that the Confederate statues were only the beginning, and that the iconoclasts’ agenda was far more sweeping?
Well, those people should have been heeded.
William Penn and the Quakers maintained such good relations with the natives that they would leave their own children to be watched by the natives when they had to go out of town.
And even his statue has to go?
Well, you may not have heard the good news: the statue is staying after all. Even the Democratic governor urged the Biden Administration to let the statue remain in its rightful place.
And here’s something interesting: tribal leaders themselves hadn’t even asked for the statue to be removed.
Ben Barnes, chief of the Shawnee tribe, said: “William Penn was an ally of the Shawnee. As long as he lived, he kept his promise. As long as he was able to speak on behalf of the colony in western Pennsylvania, the Shawnees had a home there…. Of all the terrible human beings that inflicted tragedy upon native peoples, I don’t put William Penn in that category.”
Jeremy Johnson, director of cultural education for the Delaware tribe, insisted that his people “still speak highly of William Penn.”
I think we know the kinds of people who would target that statue, who need to demonstrate their moral superiority over the rest of America by portraying themselves as morally purer than the people we have traditionally honored. More than that, they are motivated by a desire to destroy and replace.
But I’ve seen them in their Che Guevara T-shirts, and the losers with whom they would replace our honored figures from American history are degenerate lowlifes nobody with a shred of self-respect could admire.
Removal of William Penn’s statue was just another part of the attempt by the extremist Left to erase history. It is good to see that saner minds are beginning to have an effect on these attempts by lunatics to erase our history of freedom of religion.
