Fiction Come to Life: "History Has Stopped"

Statues aren't history, and removing them doesn't erase history either, especially since most of them weren't actually raised to provide any historical information/education.

My contribution to the maintenance of public property is equal to those who might be offended by a statue or monument that's been in place for a century.  I'm offended by the removal of the monument, yet those who object seem to be more equal that I am.  Many people are offended by that giant Chinese rendering of the dreg who laughed while a woman was being raped and stole the words from others to feed his plagiarism.



 Are you consistent enough to call for the removal of the MLK statue

Objecting to a harmless sculpture or casting that honors military bravery was idiotic then and it's idiotic now.  These statues/monuments honoring local soldiers or leaders were typically funded privately and occupied a minuscule patch of public land; all were innocuous honors for elderly veterans and had nothing to do with the black community.  And rather than a peaceful community decision to remove the statues today, these animals and race pimps are using violence, vandalism and extortion to get their way.  Ironically, the totalitarian/anarchistic/savage behavior of today's protesters bolsters the case for putting up the statues long ago....honoring those who fought for independence in an effort to prevent the onerous unilateral dictates from the mindless mob that we are seeing today. The statues remind us that, in 1860-1877, the federal government was the villain, the invader, the killer and the aggressor. We lost the lesson that the Federal government must be kept in check so that they don't swallow the states whole.

As far as MLK, the plagiarism is well established outside of FBI circles.  The rape story was from a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and King biographer and has not been denied or refuted.  The Trump Russia collusion nonsense was denied and refuted.  But the larger question is the same: if some people are offended by MLK for any number of reasons, and if we are all equal, then shouldn't every offense item of both sides be removed?

And the legally seceded Southern states were never traitors to the United States; they were no longer part of the United States, negating any accusation of betrayal. Got it?  Which means that the CSA monuments are highly appropriate and their removal is not.  The only thing "proven" is your lack of historical and Constitutional knowledge.

Confederates were traitors to the United States. They fought for the right to retain forced labor camps. Good they lost. It is not a way of life to be celebrated.
