Maybe after all the confederate statues get torn down around courthouses we can address god references next. Someday people might actually start thinking they'll get a fair trial. I understand that the French revolutionaries thought the same thing. The lost their heads for it. |

And the complexity that I bring to the table evidently drives liberals nuts. Hilarious.. You always find a way to appear even more obtuse. There is nothing complex about "We want to keep slaves" ..
Creating this kind of fiction and pretending it summarizes anything that that I've said is laughably false, but always expected from the cheerleader.
You're a bit like Greg....say that magic word/phrase and nothing after that gets through to the grey matter.
I can lead you to knowledge, but I can't make you think. And you make an art form of not thinking.
Bless your heart.

What a load of malarkey. There's nothing complicated about it. Southerners wanted to perpetuate forced enslavement of 3.9 MILLION human beings. That was the deal. They were not the good guys.
Greg
I always have to remember that I must always keep it simple for Greg. He doesn't get complicated stuff as we can painfully see above.
No, it's not complicated at all. For example, Germans under Hitler gassed Jews. Southerners enslaved 3.9 MILLION people. BAD. Nope, not complicated at all. Greg |

You are not being honest. How many babies have been slaughtered by Americans since our founding? How many slaughtered in all our wars, or wars we facilitated?
You only speak of things that directly apply to you, in your lifetime.
We are a country with a history, and being its citizens, its patriots, we are guardians of that history, both the positive and the negative.
If you cannot accept ALL our history, then do not call yourself an American.
Freon
You're still a hoot as always, Freon. Bless your heart.
Did you actually read what you just posted? I'm the one demanding that we accept and defend ALL of our history...that's what my Niemöller paraphrase is all about! Didn't you notice that?
YOU are the one defending the filth that's tearing down OUR history as a sign that they don't accept it. YOU are enabling that purging of history. YOU are supporting the speech and thought police leading today's cancel culture.
By your own logic, if you support those who tear down monuments and statues, YOU cannot call yourself an American.
Oops.
Wow, talk about false equivalence.
Your logic fails for one simple reason. You equate tearing down a statue, any statue, to be denying our history. Where are the statues commemorating those who led the witch trials, hmm? Isn't that our history? What about the ones that sent a shipful of Jews back to Germany, knowing they would be killed? Where's that one? Show me ANY other part of our history that is negative, that we commemorate with a statue.
You are lying to yourself. If you support Confederate pride, then I say shame on you. It should be confederate SHAME.
You want to keep them up? I'm totally ok with that, as long as the statues are commemorations of the losers, who believed in something totally different than what an American holds as her values.
You don't understand that poem, because you do not seem to feel any shame that your country would subjugate and exploit a people simply because they looked different. I acknowledge our past, all of it, and I want to do something about it so we can right a wrong as best we are able to. You want to ignore it.
Let me make this simpler for you. You cannot be anti-slavery, if you are pro-Confederate monuments.
They are incompatible beliefs.

If nobody's life has changed from the removal of these statues, perhaps they were totally unnecessary to begin with.
