Wow.

Way down the rabbit hole. Way down.

That's exactly where your absolutist morality will lead you.

Absolutist.

"Slavery was bad, and those who fought for it shouldn't be honored."

That, apparently, is now absolutist. Trump's America.

 

[blackascoal]

Confederate soldiers were veterans, by law.

No .. they aren't.

 

[Airstrip One]

Historically, Lee was a fairly complicated character and I somehow suspect many of the monument protestors aren't all that familiar with it.

If it wasn't for Lee, the Civil War could have devolved into guerrilla warfare and dragged on for decades longer---or we could still be fighting it. Let that thought sink in.

So making Robert E. Lee=slavery is pretty simplistic. Dumb, even.

Lee = the cause he chose to fight for. And he equals treason.

As opposed to not having morals at all? I used to make this argument with leftists when I was growing up...

Slavery is bad so anyone who owned them shouldn't be honored.

Get busy with Jeffersons monument...they tell me it's pretty heavy lol.

Where does it end, Thingy?

Treason is bad, and America's traitors shouldn't be honored. No monuments to Arnold, Lee, the Rosenburgs, Hanoi Jane, or John Walker Lindh.

Dumb. Won't change a thing. If history is erased, there will be no victim card left. Hmmmmmmm. Always a silver lining.

"If history is erased..." lol

Dumb statement of the day.

There is no other purpose.

 

[domer76]

There is no other purpose.

Sure, there isn't. That the icons represent a despicable philosophy has nothing to do with it.

As if it is even possible to erase history in the first place. Absurd.

If not to erase history, what is the purpose of tearing down statues and removing names?

A few Confederate statues didn't cause the murder rates, blacks rioting and burning down neighborhoods, crumbling infrastructure, failing schools, etc.

But do remember when you erase history, out goes that trusty woe-is-me victim card. Would love to see that gone.

To you it's treason to Thingy its slavery.

How do we keep everyone happy?

 

[Canceled.2018.1]

The pyramids!

The desperation is really growing by the hour. Shameless.

You need a lesson on slavery if you are conceited and ill informed enough to think that slavery is a black and white issue.
Shame on you.

What will removing the statues accomplish or change? You keep dodging this question.....for some reason.
