Leftism is a mental illness, as I’ve demonstrated
in many reports from 1987 forward (( Michael
Savage had borrowed that idea to title one of his
books ))..
Re left-wing libertines’ mental illness, find and
study this book:
“Leftism From de Sade and Marx to Hitler and Marcuse,”
by Kuehnelt-Leddihn ( 1974) ).

Thanks for the book tip, Rick. It's now on my list. Michael Savage's book and title thereof which you mention does indeed forcefully imply that Leftism is a mental illness. However today's Leftists are not Liberals at all. They're Stalinists. OK, perhaps Maoists, too! They chucked true Liberalism; i.e., Liberty, Equality, Fraternity out the proverbial window on January 20th, 2009. Now from them we have the themes of Saul D. Alinsky's **Rules for Radicals** lording over us from the ruling class Leftists in D.C. They say they want a Revolution. So I say, "Careful what you wish for, Lefties; you're poking the lion with a mere willow switch."
I think statues that represent negative or the worst of actions and attitudes should be moved away from public locations. Americans should not be forced to view such symbols while going about their daily activities. These statues should be be preserved, toppled or not, and in museums. We should have the option to visit these relics, study them academically, or show them to school groups. We have a lot of good people and progress that we should dedicate our statues to.
In America, we also still have buildings (and companies) with names associated with the rise of Nazism. See books by Edwin Black, also found at my Links page, ourconstitution.info. I am still waiting for these building names to be changed. I hope Americans demand as much when they realize, or acknowledge, these horrid facts as well.
There are so many other things in life to be offended by...these people need some serious psychological help or deep breathing exercises. They know they have no right to destroy public/private property. Why are they getting away with it? They've always gotten away with bad behaviour. Because they were raised by parents who never said "No". Because they all got "Participation Trophies" for their scoreless Little League Games. Because they are talentless and don't appreciate real artwork when they see it. (A whole bunch of them just spent 3 weeks "finger painting" 6 city blocks in Seattle and we all see the mess they left). Because they never learned to respect authority, probably because the majority of them were sexually molested/assaulted by their Boy Scout Leaders, their Catholic Priests, or their step-fathers/biological fathers/mother's druggie boyfriends or worse yet their own drugged up Mothers. Are they children of privilege? Maybe....but that doesn't mean they haven't been psychologically damaged by our screwed society. But, letting them have free reign needs to stop.
Look what Congress just did to exact their will to get their way with renaming the Military bases...they added it into the Defense Bill...so that President Trump is juxtaposed into signing it or vetoing it. Isn't that clever? NO....that is flat out POLITICAL EXTORTION, abusing our nation's security. Our own Democratic leaders and RINOs are throwing all of us under the bus. HOW NICE. How does it feel, folks?
Statues not statutes...
