Name one National Monument erected to a conservative.

[hootinholler]

I can't think of any! Surely if conservativism is such a great thing there would be one or two, wouldn't there?

1. Rush Limbaugh.

Thank you and be sure to tip your waitress.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

4. Yes, my dog erected a monument to Limbaugh in our backyard

It's even looks like Rush. I'm showing my dog photos of Glenn Beck and Michelle Bachman and telling him to get to work. We may even establish a local GOP shrine and start charging admission.

45. Actually there is.......

6. Does the Vietnam wall count?

Lots of dead people and lots of profit for defense contractors.

It's what Rebublicans are good at.

[RC]

9. We have a winner. Republicanism, the party of death.

[slackmaster]

16. It's not a National Monument

:hi:

[Selatius]

20. I don't think Republicans hold the monopoly on war and death.

LBJ and Kennedy were the force behind the quagmire in Viet Nam. There is blame to go around to both parties.

[Thothmes]

43. thanks mostly to Lyndon Baines Johnson, President

of the United States. Most of the names on the wall are there because of him.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Teddy Roosevelt is on Mt Rushmore. (While he's not conservative in all ways, I think he

might still be considered to be a conservative.)

[HillbillyBob]

13. Actually T R was a conservative of the old kind,

and conservationist too, he signed and fought for several national parks to keep them from being destroyed for profit..like Redwood national monument ( i think it is now a park though)

This latest verson of KKKonservavitive is nothing of the sort selfish whining greedy grabbers.

They did name the national /capitol airprot for runnyraygun and a air craft carrier for his sorry wrinkled old arse, they also named a carrier for ghwb too.

[hootinholler]

26. TR was a progressive.

He split the liberals/progressives out of the Republican party when he left to form the Bull Moose Party.

8. How many are erected for atheists?

:shrug:

[armyowalgreens]

11. Don't be so silly. Atheism is evil.

[Cant trust em]

10. It feels like half of DC is named after Reagan. nt

[Nikki Stone1]

23. That wasn't built--that was piratized. National Airport already existed, built by

taxpayer money, and then they put Reagan's name on it.

[Cant trust em]

27. hmmm....that's interesting. nt

[CanonRay]

12. I just drove by the Herbert Hoover memorial

off I-80 in Iowa. Does that count?

[hootinholler]

25. Maybe, is it managed by the NPS? n/t

[slackmaster]

14. Aztec Ruins in New Mexico, Cabrillo in California, Devil's Postpile (CA), Devil's Tower (WY)

Little Bighorn Battlefield (MT), Montezuma Castle (AZ), Pompey's Pillar (MT).

Most of them are named after geographic features.

[dhpgetsit]

15. Goldwater was the last proper Conservative.

The current crop of self professed Conservatives are more correctly referred to as Cons.

[DJ13]

17. David Vitter

You did say erections by a conservative, didnt you?

[Hepburn]

18. I like this one for George Bush...

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Sewage treatment plants seldom reach that status, otherwise

there'd be a million of them named for conservatives.

[Taverner]

21. Coit Tower - because its one...big...dick...

Thankya thankya!!

[Arugula Latte]

32. No ... It's a hose nozzle ... Wait, that doesn't sound much better ...

;)

[slackmaster]

34. That's not a National Monument either

Did everyone on this thread except me flunk out of fourth grade geography?

:argh:

[Taverner]

40. Semantics semantics

That's like bitching about getting a tissue paper because you asked for a kleenex

[Octafish]

22. National Debt

The large majority of it has been incurred under the GOP's watchful eyes and for the benefit of their cronies and masters.

[Nikki Stone1]

24. Dulles Airport.

.

[Prism]

28. Jefferson?

He was liberal for his time, but he had a lot of core beliefs that have been adopted (hijacked) by modern conservatives and libertarians. State's rights, anti-federal government, affinity for rural America over the cities. That sort of thing. He would, of course, in no way fit in with the modern Republican party. Especially not with that Bible business and church/state separation. But a lot of his ideas have crawled down the ages to find a home in the anti-government right.

[GoCubsGo]

29. Dinosaur?

Seriously, there are no National Monuments, but I'm sure there are a few National Historic Landmarks, such as The Biltmore Estate, which was built by George Vanderbilt. It is a NHL for the architecture, rather than as a monument to Vanderbilt. But then, Vanderbilt built it as a monument to himself, if you ask me. There are probably better examples...

[hootinholler]

33. Interesting.

There are many estates preserved and run by the NPS.

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Not exactly a monument, but certainly as iconic as one ......

[Alexander]

31. The entire Phoenix metro area.

[yurbud]

35. I think they put up a monument to Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in a black neighborhood

He was the confederate general who helped organize the Ku Klux Klan.

[slackmaster]

36. That's not a National Monument either

:nuke:

[yurbud]

38. it's in a nation.

[scheming daemons]

37. The National Debt Clock

[BumRushDaShow]

39. There's an (Gen.) Eisenhower statue at the Nat'l D-day Memorial

[The Animator]

41. Well, last I checked...

there's two big holes in Manhattan...

[RedCloud]

42. Royal Gorge. What they do to our surplus royally.

And what is at the bottom is the result of getting trickled on throughout time.

[NYC Liberal]

44. What about the McKinley National Memorial?

I assume you mean a National Memorial. National Monuments are usually parks and wildlife areas.

[G_j]

46. the Staten Island Landfill nt

[The Animator]

47. Don't know if this is a 'national' monument, but somewhere in GA

there is a memorial to General Stonewall Jackson. Ironically, the memorial is a relief, carved into a big stone wall (aka. Mountainside)
