DUKE: Dems digging deep for dirt

History is history! You can’t erase it or change it by protesting, destroying monuments, burning or removing books from libraries. Hitler tried, look what happened to him.

History is our teacher of what happens when we do or say things that have painful or even wonderful consequences. Every human being has done or said something they regret and are ashamed of, with the only exception being a baby who will look you in the eyes and pee straight up at you.

So please, if you don’t want to know a person’s opinion, don’t ask. Even John Wayne made the papers today. In 1971 he was asked his opinion, he gave it. Now the Orange County Democrats are raising a fuss and want his name and monument removed from the airport. I doubt the Duke will be upset though. He’s been dead for almost 40 years.

The Democrats dug deep for that one, didn’t they? They might see the error of their ways when the Duke’s fans go to the polls in November. Just think, even dead 40 years he might swing the vote to Trump. Now that would be one for the history books no one would soon forget, even if you burned them.
