[b]Brooklyn Pol Dumps Portrait of 'Old White Man' George Washington[/b]

"The new Brooklyn borough president says "diversity" is making him take down a portrait of "old white man" George Washington that's hung in the office for years.

Brooklyn Beep Marty Markowitz said he will probably hang a portrait of a black person or a woman in his office in place of the country's first president, while moving the Father of Our Country elsewhere in Borough Hall.

"I respect history . . . but there has to be a recognition that this is 2002," Markowitz said. "There's not one picture of a person of color, not one kid, not one Latin. Borough Hall should reflect the richness of our diversity."

Throughout Brooklyn Borough Hall, there are portraits of white-haired, white men in colonial-style clothes. A few include plaques with a name, but most have no identifications at all.

[b]"We don't have a clue who these folks are,"[/b] Markowitz said.

[b]"I'm sure they made great contributions and I will find a place for all of these wonderful portraits. They'll be preserved."[/b]





America is collapsing faster than the WTC - to the cheers of the racist multiculturalists on the left.  

I don't even recognize this country anymore. [:|]

hey Marty, you want diversity at Borough Hall?
LOOK OUT THE F#CKING WINDOW! but leave our history OUT of your agenda.

Guess that simply 'adding' pictures to reflect diversity would not be a good idea.

Aren't whites still over 80% of the population in America, what are they going to do with us all?

Keep voting Democrat and YOU will find out.

I have been thinking about getting passports for the whole family for about a year or so, maybe it's time to get them.

I was thinking the very same thing.

Clearly, in the interest of muticulturalism, not only do you need to put up pictures of individuals of different ethnicities, but you must also remove the ones you don't subscribe to.

It's not diversity they want, it's selective culturization.

How many of our Founding Fathers were - blacks; kids; females; asians; latins, etc?  Just exactly what did they contribute to the founding of our form of government?  Guess I better put the nomex on for the replies to this one.
[flame]

Yeah, 'richness of our diversity', what crap!

Eric The(GetYourBagsPacked-We'reMoving)Hun[>]:)]

So they're gonna replace GW with a picture of someone they can actually identify (idiots)?  How about Snoop Dog?  Or Michael Jordan?  What about Tupak?

Fucking morons.  The good thing is that they're not learning to read, so they won't be a viable economic threat in the future.  While we're at it, let's create Super-Crack to keep them down.

In the Old Testament, we are given a picture of the Israelites living in freedom in Egypt at the time of the death of Joseph. Later, this happy state is turned into misery. The opening lines for this about-face in the condition of the Israelites is introduced in the following manner:

"And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

"Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, [b]which knew not Joseph[/b].

"And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we." [Exodus I:7-9]

There seemingly has come a time in this great country of ours, when a new generation will arise '[b]which know not George Washington[/b].'

And those of us left who do remember, will suffer a fate similar to the fate of the Israelites at the hands of a new and cruel Pharaoh.

Eric The(SureWe'llBe'Free'-Like[u]AnimalFarm[/u]WasFree!)Hun[>]:)]

I have an idea.  We need to present our history in terms that people like Marty Markowitz can understand.  So I propose we commission a portrait of Washington showing him with a Mohawk haircut, dark red nail polish, and baggy jeans riding so low on his waist that the upper half of his boxers will show.

"Oh, yeah.... That guy."

[;)]

Just another reason why I love living in the west, (not Calfornia). These idiots are so interested in short term appeasement that they are shutting down our country one step at a time.

This latest travesty is tantamount to defacing the Capitol. I do not mind adding diversity to the Borough Hall, but not at the expense of the founders of our country.

Where do I write this idiot to advise him to pull his head out of his 4th point of contact?

Involuntary servitude.  
Feed the welfare parasites.  "WORK WHITEY, WORK!!  Youz da minority now!!"


Sad, they don't know who the founding fathers of the country are - [b]and they don't care![/b]

[b]Not Important Any More:[/b]
John Adams
James Madison
Alexander Hamilton
Benjamin Franklin
Patrick Henry
Samuel Adams
Thomas Jefferson

Sad.

"Keep working, millions on welfare are depending on you"

Even though this is a bumper sticker slogan that is supposed to be humor, it's really quite true.  

"From Each According to his Ability , to Each according to his need."  <---Slogan of Soviet Socialism.

THESE PEOPLE ARE SO GOD DAMN MANIPULATIVE. JUST THINK HOW MANY PEOPLE AGREE WITH THIS SCUMBAG.
CAN HE HANG MORE THEN ONE PERSON ON THE WALL? NO WHAT DOES HE DO, HE TAKES ONE DOWN AND PUTS ANOTHER UP.  WELL I GUESS A MAN IS ONLY GOOD FOR ONE OATH AT A TIME.  MINE STILL STANDS AT 1776.

I think Markowitz needs to hit the dusty trail.

If you go outside on a quiet night and point your good ear toward Florida...

you can hear my heart breaking.

I still contend that The United States is the best country on Earth, but right now, it is ill.  I don't pretend to have the remedy, but watching the slow decline of our once great nation is both tragic and alarming.

This got me pissed, and will probably get me banned......oh well....

[warning....bad rant alert]


Bullshit. Absolute fucking bullshit. 'Diversity' has nothing to do with it...just some dumb communist pusswad's desire to suck on the teats of the liberal/minority masses. If this had anything to do with diversity, there's no fucking way this jagoff would refer to George Washington, the FIRST PRESIDENT, as 'old white man'. Or let me guess, Mister Markowitz.....dat's a prop to y0 peeps in da hood, werd up?



Fuck you. No...not the nice haha funny fuck you. The 'Why don't you crawl you derelict, insipid, devolved ass down to the local cemetery and chuck your withered and useless carcass into the nearest dirt hole you brainwashed slave' fuck you. You have ZERO respect for history, what it means, and what it SHOULD have taught you. Let's see...if you actually had a complete CLUE about HISTORY, you'd recall that there were no kids, no people of color, and no Latinos who were delegates of the Continental Congress, or first POTUS. It's the way it was. Instead of appealing to the reason of truth, and respecting the great personal sacrifices made by these men to give you the country you live in today, you've cast your soul into the pit of illusion. And don't for one fucking minute say this is about richness of diversity. Why don't you yank those gnarled, tiny, limp testicles from the recesses of your sphincter and tell everyone you're just whoring for opinion and votes.



Really? Well, now you know what you can learn when you lodge your head up your ass. Piss on the men who formed this great nation, who shed blood, who sacrificed themselves and their loved ones...who 'pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor', to create this nation, and you place yourself among the ranks of those who wish to cast it down. May you live long enough to see your own hell.....a nation where reason, truth, and liberty have been secured from the likes of you.

I'm going to guess that I'm not the only one here who has noticed that it's mostly educated, intelligent white people who breed in a limited, responsible fashion, according to their income and desired lifestyle, while a disturbingly high number of other who aren't so well educated and financially able to support more kids are the ones that are having as many babies as Mother Nature will allow.

Is this natural selection working in REVERSE???

If you don't want your kids to be the minority in fifty years, grab your wife, jump into bed, and leave the B.C. pills in the medicine cabinet.  GET BUSY BREEDING FREE WHITE KIDS WHO KNOW HOW TO SAY 'YES SIR', 'NO MA'AM' AND CAN SHOOT STRAIGHT!

Don't anybody misunderstand me.  I'm cool with anyone who's cool with me, regardless of their demographics.   But being a free white man and very much accustomed to living in a predominantly white culture that has always been a predominantly white culture, I admit to having a liking for it.  I'd like my kids to enjoy the same scene.    

Saying 'there's room for everybody' is great, but don't expect me to give up my space to make room for somebody else who doesn't work as hard as I am and doesn't have such deep roots, and my roots as an American go as deep as anybody's.  Some of my ancestors saw Columbus's ships heading in to anchor, and some of my other ancestors were in the first wave of colonists.
If I had a sister, she and I would collectively be eligible for both Sons AND Daughters of the American Revolution, on BOTH sides of the conflict, and we'd also be eligible for both Sons and Daughters of the Civil war, again, on both sides of the conflict.

I'm not willing to become the new minority just because the current minorities can't keep their pants zipped, especially when you consider that TOO many of them are raising kids with money stolen out of my pocket by the welfare and food stamps programs out of my taxes.  GET A JOB.  IF YOU CAN'T FEED THEM, DON'T BREED THEM! [stick] [sex] [rocket]

OK, steam's blown off now.  All better. [soapbox]

[^]

Goodbye, HELL, I ain't leavin'!
No way on God's green earth that I am leaving my country to a POS like that unless God, the Father or His son,Jesus Christ, the Almighty himself has something to say about it!
I know where he can stick that picture of George Washington....................right up his [moon]

[pissed]

its only a matter of time before none of this will matter.

Above text from Hard Text.

Well said. Crude, but well said.

ok, that's just scary. do you know something we don't???

[:)]

What bearing does his race have on anything?  Stupidity knows no racial boundries.  

Like I said in another post...

WELCOME TO LIBERAL NYC POLITICS!!!

First, the WTC Flag Raising Statue, and the next day this.  Let me also add that I watched this interview with asshole liberal Markowitz on NY1 news (exclusive interview) like 5 times because I could not believe what I was seeing.

Later that day, there was a live interview with Super Liberal Ex Mayor Koch, and even koch was laughing and making fun of what Markowitz is doing.  No-one is pushing him to do what he is doing, no minority activists even suggested it.

This minority ass kissing liberal came up with this idea all by himself.  Everyone does know he is white, right?

BTW Koch not only trashed Markowitz for taking down the pictures of all the "Old White Men", he also trashed the new Fire Commish for the WTC statue w/ revised history.  Even a super liberal like KOCH can see what is going on.

Because of people like Commisar Markowitz I predict that within 50 Years the United States will Break up into 50 small independant nations(Just like our former Arch Enemy The Soviet Union),Some socialist, Some Free; I intend to be in one of the free ones "At all cost".

Does anyone else feel this way? Or do You think I am way off base?  

i just know that sooner or later "we the people" will get fed up and stand for whats right. its just a question of when and if its not too late.

when these "minorities" rob people and get shot or get killed in a drive by or overdose thats natural selection kickin in. I like the super crack Idea

whew! i thought the end was near, and i was the last to know!
[beer]

Actually, I'd wager it will happen sooner than that.  At least, that's what I hope.  I don't want to be boxed into a tinier and tinier space though, but even what I seen happening here in NC in the past ten years is just too ominous to ignore.  There is an unmistakable trend and it looks a lot like Marxism.

I'm ready for the kind of resistance that took place in Unintended Consequences--Time to feed the hogs and all that.  

Remember that news report about the alleged terror attack on world leaders at a some golf course?  I was actually rooting for the bad guys!  Of course it would lead to even heavier crackdowns, but at least that would wake some folks up.  When our beloved Senator Edwards (Kennedy wanna-be) was over in Afghanistan, I kept hoping that the Taliban would attack or the plane would crash.  That piece of shit is such a phony and only represents the welfare statists here, not the hard-working North Carolinians.  If Helms' seat goes to another asshole dem like Edwards, I'm leaving for sure.

Koch is smart enough to know this guy stepped on his dick, and wants to settle things down to save votes.

I would be willing to allow them to put my picture up, for I am the chosen one.

One problem is that we are not assimilating our children into the American culture.  We need to be teaching our kids American History, American Social Studies, not classes on Ethnic Studies, World Religions, etc.  Kids should be standing up and saying the Pledge of Allegience every day at school.  Teachers should be properly indoctrinating our children, teaching them how great this country is and the greatness of all the Founding Fathers.

We need to be promoting UNITY in America, not DIVERSITY.  Diversity will be the downfall of America.  

Apparantly not in Brooklyn.

The only way you can teach American History though is to home school your child.  Public schools are now teaching there watered down version of it.  The way I see it Russia is on the rise.  While we have had this freedom for so long we have begun to forget about it and not fight for it.  While in Russia it is completely different.  They are taking hold of their new freedoms like wolves.  So I think we might need a new example.

R4M

if it were to break-up that way, at least not all of the US would be statist. it wont happen though. after a "civil war" the free and independant states would eventually be consumed. especially since the capitalist free states will do better financially. the non-free states will become jealous and want what you have. some politician will come along with an excuse to put an end to these "rogue states" and deploy the peoples army of the USSA.



lib-find an island

I sincerely hope that Russia does improve despite their criminal politicians. they only have the power you give them and if the Soviet people are clinging to their freedoms like wolves then freedom will grow.

If by some snowballs chance in hell that the former soviet union were to become a free-market oriented society with enumerated rights, i would move there. America is a state of mind, not landmass. were the American dream exists, there are Americans. no statist can ever take this away [:)]

He's just covering his ass. Needless to say Jews do not make up the majority of the population of Brooklyn. It's something like 1/3 white, in total. Entirely replacing the pictures belies the diversity arguement itself. But these aren't rocket scientists and neither are the people who's votes they are soliciting.



This is because liberals do not believe that immigrants should assimilate into American culture and norms, but that rather we should become part of the larger world... and accommodate them.

To invite someone to become one of you is the greatest gift that can be given btw, and seems to be associated exclusively with nations founded by old white men...

...how about the $1 bills...

He was elected, and for his term its his office.Maybe its as ugly to him as a picture of your snaggle tooth girlfriend. Maybe he is just another slave owner to this guy.
