Mount Rushmore features the heads of four Presidents:
George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

So let's pretend, that it has been decided to another another head to the mountain, and you are sent a survey to ask you which former President you would like to see added to Mount Rushmore, which one would you pick?
 
I'm surprised the left even tolerates the existence of this memorial. Two of them were unrepentant slave owners, and the other two were white supremacists.
 
FDR, then JFK.

I'm not surprised that right-libertarians tolerate it.
 
_______ Canuck. I'd give the land back to the Natives. I'd say sorry Europeans were such assholes. Reparations galore. Then I'd ask if they'll help us repair the land we ****ed up. Nobody needs more monuments to monumental studipity and barbarity.

Start by giving back your land.
 
What stupid conservative nonsense.
Nowhere near as stupid as your idea.

You should also consider turning over all of your other assets, as they are fruits of the poison tree.

I would pick to give the land back to the local Native American tribes and then applaud if they decided to dynamite the faces off their sacred mountain.

Binary bullshit that aligns with the T**** conservatives.
 
Why would we not start with stolen Federal land?

Because they have to break things down to the lowest common denominator and binary logic. That's how they operate. If any land is returned to the rightful inhabitants, we gotta start with your quarter of an acre. "What, you don't want to do that? You're a hypocrite." And if we give any land back we have to supposedly give it all back and move back to Europe. JFC.
 
Like the Black Hills, by treaty was Lakota land that the Federal government went back on its word and stole from them when gold was found under it.

How is it a controversial statement to say the land should be returned to the Lakota?

It’s amazing how the Right hates the Federal government taking people’s property unless those people are non-white.

That's what the federal government is for, for right-libertarians: To protect the racket.
