Trump rips removal of Robert E. Lee statue

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.

Who could not handle walking past a statue? I only heard people say it should not be in a place of honor...

I guess you've missed the stories....but if the problem is that it's in a place of "honor"..obviously some couldn't handle passing by...
 
Love the EXTRA TDS morning flameouts (straight from the SCRIPT)...and those excited by them...;)

What makes RB's post even more ironic is he was born, bred, and lives in Pennsylvania -- a Northern state that fought to preserve the union. How odd that so-called conservatives in northern states support insurrection, civil war, slavery, racism, and monuments to all the above, eh?

Then I should be "offended," right? But I'm not. I don't see racism, insurrection and slavery in what my kin fought for AND WON in a statue that simply marks a dark part of our history, because it IS a part of our history and it happened over 150 years ago. Why, all of a sudden, are you offended? Were you "offended" 20 years ago? 40 years ago? I don't see it as supporting anything other than American History.

Tell us, troll, just who is "bowing down" to ANY of these statues?
 
I wonder if Christians couldn't handle passing by this one. :thinking:

Your Pennsylvania ancestors fought in the Civil War on the side of the South? Mine didn't. I have a many-times great uncle who died of his battle wounds. He served in a Michigan regiment.

I thought the statues were offensive when I was a teenager. What other nation puts up statues to honor the leaders and soldiers of an attack on their nation? Why don't we have Hitler and Hirohito statues?

Take these Civil War things down and put them in museums where those who want to see them can. They can put them in the Jim Crow section.

Don't act stupid. I said many times my great great grandfather fought for the North.

More Bullshit.

Then come take our monuments down at Gettysburg. I'll die trying to save them, will you die trying to tear them down?
