Looking at Mount Rushmore, you'll notice that Washington, Roosevelt and Lincoln look straight ahead but Jefferson is looking up. Jefferson was sculpted looking up because the granite had a fissure that would have probably caused Jefferson's nose to fall off had he been looking straight ahead.
What was an unfortunate flaw in the granite has become serendipity, because when Jefferson is carved out of Mount Rushmore for being a slaveholder another president can be carved in his place who always had his nose in the air - his natural pose - until his handlers advised him to stop.
You may think it ridiculous to suggest that Jefferson would be carved out of Mt. Rushmore, but the DNC has already renamed the Jefferson-Jackson dinner because both presidents were slaveholders. You might also say that Washington was a slaveholder, so why not carve out the father of our country. Give progressives time. Not only was Jefferson a slaveholder but he created an abridged Christian bible for native-Americans. He must be doubly hated by progressives.
The erasure of Jefferson from Mt. Rushmore won't happen tomorrow, but what will happen very shortly is the renaming of Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in America. It's going to be renamed Denali. Denali is an Athabascan word meaning "the high one". In Hebrew "bamah" means "a high place". And in English Barack Obama means "his highness".
