Another Progressive Double Standard – Wall Street Journal

image What is it about political leftists that makes them unable to keep their hands off Chicago parks—and also unable to live by the standards they demand of others? Now, if you can believe it, the city of Chicago has chosen a park dedicated to the city’s first female mayor as the site for a new statue of a progressive activist who didn’t support the right of women to vote.

I want a Mother Jones statue because I want to see it vandalized while the socialists beg for video surveillance and stronger law enforcement.

I’ll propose a compromise; let’s erect a statue of Christopher Columbus’ wife.

I didn’t know who Mother Jones is. I just found out she was a teacher and union organizer. This makes perfect sense. Now when kids ask who is this their socialist parent can tell them who she was. Then the kids will think unions and teachers should be looked up to because there’s a statue in their honor. They know exactly what they are doing.

The State has a Mother Jones monument already in Mt Olive Illinois where she is buried. Those that travel downstate on
I 55 can access it along with a stretch of old US 66 at exit 44.

Likely scenario regarding this proposed statue decision: “Mother Jones? Cool name, isn’t that name of progressive magazine? Hell, yes, let’s but her in that white woman’s park on Mag Mile. OS, baby!”

The mayor should erect a statue to Margaret Sanger for her contribution to law enforcement.
