RE CULTURAL BEAUTIFUL MONUMENTS THE FIRST TURNING

I stand with Trump, not with you.

If Muslims want to build a statue of the Prophet Mohammed, I say: let them do it.

If German Nazis say keep statues of Hitler: I say let them do it.

You might as well tear down statues of Jefferson and Lincoln, if racism is your criterion.

If anti Semitism is your criterion, then most of the monuments in all of the capital cities of Europe should go, too.

After all, anti Semitism is one of the most treasured, and longstanding, cultural traditions of Christianity, East or West.

Let's just put it this way: anti Semitism is, to some extent at least, absolutely foundational for Christianity itself.

Christianity could not even exist in the absence of anti Semitism.

That is what was critical in Paul's mission to the gentiles.

Let's just call it The First Turning.

Just think also of The First Circle.

Then W, on top saying, "These principles are right for all people everywhere." 

W and Saint Paul, two birds of a feather...

" Turning and turning in a widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer..."...

If Whig historians take issue with any of this, remember with whom you are conversing.
