What is the Georgia Guidestones you ask? I had never heard of them until the other day and what a neat idea they are. They were set up in 1980 as a marker a tool and instruction for post apocalyptic humans to use and now some losers blew them up. They had been called "Americas Stonehenge".



Here is the Wiki page about them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones


Here is the news link about their destruction.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-g...-elbert-county


It seems that some people including a failed candidate for Governor in May of 2022 did not like the monument.



"The roadside attraction received renewed attention during Georgia's May 24 gubernatorial primary when third-place Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor claimed the guidestones are satanic and made demolishing them part of her platform."




How ridiculous and what a shame some far Right fools had to do this. Given the violence of the Far Left in tearing down statues that hurt their feelings and now these Far Right idiots blowing this monument up it just goes to show that we cannot have Nice things thanks to these losers.


What a shame.

Try as I might, I can't find a pic of the damage.

This is a new structure (1980) and doesn't seem like it would be a huge undertaking, just to fix it.

It's not some kind of irreplacable art, it's a bunch of grey rectangles that could just be redone.

On the other hand, of concern, one of the guiding principals espouses eugenics, which is probably what caused some concern that it's a bit satanic.

Perhaps Kandiss Taylor should be arrested. Just like Maxine Waters should be arrested for inciting a riot. Anybody who does such things, regardless of party, should be charged and convicted.

I'm not sure the guidestones would be considered "nice things" in a normal world...same with the satanic statues and other symbols being erected around the world as of late...

Now THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!:sm ack:

A LIBERAL LAMENTING THE DESTRUCTION OF A HISTORICAL ARTIFACT/MONUMENT???

Have you been asleep for the last several years? The American Taliban has been busy destroying monuments of nearly every historical character in US history over the last several years. Libs have even suggested that Mt. Rushmore should be destroyed. And now liberals are outraged?

Are you kidding me? Libs are so dense that they never seem to appreciate that they are lampooning themselves by such hypocritical "concerns"!
