Eliminating Thomas Jefferson


“Mayor Pete Buttigieg was on the Hugh Hewitt Show this week and Hugh hit him with one question that the entire field will be answering sooner or later. Democrats have been renaming their annual Jefferson-Jackson dinners all over the country because Jefferson was a slave owner. Is Mayor Pete onboard with these changes? Oh, you bet he is, buddy. (Free Beacon)
“Pete Buttigieg, who is running in a crowded Democratic field for president, said on Friday he believes renaming events and things named after President Thomas Jefferson is the 'right thing to do.'
“The South Bend mayor appeared on The Hugh Hewitt Show, where he was asked to weigh in on the name of the annual Indiana Democratic dinner, which was formerly named after party founders and former presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Indiana Democrats changed the name of the annual dinner in 2016…
“’Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do,’ Buttigieg said. ‘Over time, you develop and evolve on the things you choose to honor … Jefferson is more problematic. There’s a lot of course to admire in his thinking and his philosophy, but then again if you plunge into his writings, especially the notes on the state of Virginia, you know that he knew slavery was wrong.’”


Thomas Jefferson is considered the father of the Democratic Party. Today’s Democrats, acting like the unrestrained rebellious teenagers they are, want to throw out the Old Man, in the case of Jefferson because he owned slaves. Our modern Democrats want to unname everything Jefferson.

Why do they not take the idea to its logical end – Unname everything now called Washington, Jefferson and Jackson? Require all Americans who hold one of those last names to rename themselves and their progeny. Shoot, find out the names of every slave owner and eliminate those last names from buildings and monuments, and make further use of those names illegal. It's the (Democratic) logical thing to do.
