Civil War museum gets rid of Confederate flag on new logo

[LV426]

I see you're still mad that I made you look completely moronic with your bullshit

I'm glad you're calling that shit out.

I feel like you can be a reasonable person, you just have strong inherent biases that get in your way.

There are not many Northern Republicans today. In fact, the entire New England congressional delegation are all Democrats. Not one single Republican Congressperson from New England. Not. A. One.

ok, so you ruled out the new england area..............is that the entire 'north' to you?

[SmarterthanYou]

Wow...welll...you're the one here arguing in favor of Confederate flags or memorials.

What is wrong with having just Union flags and memorials? Why do we need Confederate participation trophies?

i'm arguing for preserving HISTORY, nothing more, nothing less

[SmarterthanYou]

I see you're mad that even a fucking pussy like LV realizes what you are, bitch.

Not real sure how you think defending drunk driving is making someone look moronic. Since you have nothing in your life but dreams that will never be fulfilled, whatever makes you feel better.

That dishonorable discharge must still hurt after all these years.

TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's too easy for your idiot ass................

I hate it when my strong and inherent bias towards freedom gets in my way

It doesn't get much better when you get to the mid-Atlantic;

There are 27 Congressional districts in NY; 5 of which are Republican-held
There are 12 Congressional districts in NJ; 2 of which are Republican-held
There are 18 Congressional districts in PA; 9 of which are Republican-held
There are 8 Congressional districts in MD; 1 of which is Republican-held

Considering NY and NJ, there aren't many successful GOP politicians, a few, mostly in rural areas, but they usually are more moderate or even liberal compared to the national GOP

But how do the monuments do that?

Wouldn't history be preserved by the Articles of Secession?

What history do those monuments and flags teach that you can't learn from reading the Articles of Secession?

Well, "freedom" is a bit fungible when it comes to how you define it, isn't it?

New York has 27 congressional districts, but only 5 Republicans.
New Jersey has 12, but only 2 Republicans
Delaware has 1, and it's a Democrat
Maryland has 8, but only 1 Republican

Pennsylvania is balanced 50-50, but Pennsylvania is a gerrymandered state. Even with the gerrymander, the GOP still can't achieve majority in the delegation.

Since the Southern states didn't commit an act of treason, you claim is nothing more than the ramblings of another goddamn coward to afraid to back up what he claims to believe.

Go wave your Confederate flag asshole

[Mason Melchizedek]

ok, it is a fact that those two people ran as democrats. that's about it.

Duh!Northern Democrats fought against the Confederate army.
It wasn't a Republican vs Democrats war

Sure! Why not? Or maybe those sites should have only monuments to Union soldiers. How's that for a compromise? We can still have monuments and flags, but they are monuments to the Union soldiers and flying above them are Union flags. You have a problem with that?

OMG! If we remove Confederate monuments, dumb old Flash here will completely forget the outcome of the Civil War. Someone help him...his memory is really bad. He can't remember things unless there are monuments to them.

That would be stupid. We should also eliminate any mention of Nazis and Germans in the Holocaust and WWII museums and battlefields (and Japan, Italy,....). After all, we all remember who won without mentioning the enemy.

Why glorify war or killing--ban all monument to war and soldiers.

When LV426 realizes how stupid his ideas are he turns to insults and personal attacks.

[Flash]

Because it's the same themes...and the reason for them taking it off their logo falls within those same themes. You are lazily trying to compartmentalize because if you looked at it as a whole, you couldn't make the case that those monuments or flags serve the teaching of history at all.

Instead, you can just look at things like the Articles of Secession. There's your history. But I think you're too lazy for that because they're not bright and colorful, and it involves reading and critical thinking...not your strong suits.

Using your logic we should ban the Articles of Secession because they glorify slavery and going to war to save it. After all, we can't let people know about those things. The history Nazis need to protect us from such knowledge.

The US government should have an official burn the confederate flag holiday April 9th to commemorate the South's total surrender
to America.
