Arkansas To Remove Confederate Statue In U.S. Capitol, Add Johnny Cash, Daisy Bates This just made my day.

Hutchinson is a cretin.

Many of us [on both sides] consider those as a tribute to fallen soldiers, not a romancing of slavery. That's my argument.

Well, one of the monuments had a plaque on it saying "this monument is a tribute to the supremacy of the white man."

There are for the warriors themselves.

German War Memorials

And I am fine with memorials to confederate soldiers themselves. However, we do not need to have monuments to confederate leaders and generals in the town square.

Personally, I couldn’t care less about stupid idolatry. Against my religion anyway. Go ahead and tear them down. The mayor tore them down here in Baltimore. Big deal. Now what? I’m here every day. I haven’t seen a dimes worth of difference in the murder rate. Or overdose deaths. But hey, the statues are gone. Woot woot...eace

Pick up a history book.

Go to a library.

Log off debate politics and do some research online.

Go to a museum.

I assure you there are plenty of ways to learn about Confederate losers!

Isn't a monument basically a museum display about history?

Maybe they should have spent the money they used taking down statues to hire a few more cops.
