Can't this be used on many of the Duck Dynasty capitol treason gang?

(5,125 posts)The phrasing however is so POINTED at the LEFT and preserving monuments, it almost DOESN'T have appropriate means to apply to REAL insurrection and treason.
But if it can be posited that the Radical RIGHT must be equally treated under this order..... AND we've seen how that works out since we all had that CIVIL chat about slavery that devolved into a War Between The States....
IF ANYONE CAN MAKE IT WORK, I shall sing their praises.
But considering who crafted it, I am not hopeful.
It WOULD BE SO COOL THOUGH.
