Down goes General Lee[W:525]

Re: Down goes General Lee

Should we burn crosses on people's lawns because of the historical significance of the KKK? That's the same as glorifying these monuments.

You can do whatever you want.

But I see no problem with keeping a singular statue of Lee around for historical significance.

These monuments are the same thing as burning crosses in the town square. It's basically terrorism.

that's really idiotic. I mean seriously. that's beyond silly

Re: Down goes General Lee

you actually demonstrated it too perfect, and that same logic applies to both sides on this issue as well, if you do not agree I can spam quote nearly every anti monument poster in this thread doing exactly that.

You can quote me doing that? Do you deny doing that yourself? Did my point really fly that far over your head?

Keep calling me a terrorist, ecofarm, and blatantly and irrationally lying about me wanting to burn crosses in the town square.

With friends like you, southern democrats don't need any enemies .

Re: Down goes General Lee

Good, tear it all down.

I bet you want to get rid of the constitution as well. the PC zealots hate anything that supports capitalism, American Primacy, property rights etc.

Re: Down goes General Lee

Redress and ecofarm are perfect examples of why democrats will remain in a permanent minority in the south .

Not true either, the south looks out for it's own interests like the north looks out for it's own and the west does it's own. The democrats held sway in the south until the blue dogs dissapeared, aka the right of center democrats. They just simply need to appeal to the south in general rather than a few major cities.

How would you feel about monuments to "banneroids"? And that's not near the threat to blacks of monuments to slavery.

Oh look, the white supremacist whining is right on time. Keep giving me reasons to not take you seriously in regards to anything that requires even an inkling of critical thinking skills, please.

Jumping from my comment to something as stupid as a supposed desire to get rid of the constitution. You're a joke, go waste someone else's time.

You can always head to Go Fund Me and raise money for a private tribute to the traitor.

Not in town square where it serves as a public glorification of the Confederacy and thus intimidation against blacks. In a museum is fine.

Re: Down goes General Lee

It's not about erasing history, it's about putting it in the proper context. Put these statues in a museum, not the freaking town square.

I don't disagree. My post was ranting at an OP that included a rant as its opening statements that was just as hyperbolic.

Why are you forced to resort to strawmen building?

I had extra straw?

I never said quote you doing that, I was referring to all the anti monument posters doing exactly what you said, demonize them in the most simplistic terms. The right be like the taliban does that too, the left be like confederacy supports slavery therefore need to remove any trace of them.

In my opinion a statue does not hurt a freakin person, if it does person probably should never leave your house, if a statue of a long time ago triggers that person. My gawd I can imagine everyone in the former soviet union hyper ventilating because they had a lenin statue.

Re: Down goes General Lee

in five years, the people who whined about General Lee will be demanding we take down monuments of founders who

1) owned slaves

2) fought the Indians

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andy Jackson, William Henry Harrison etc will all be attacked

the mentality of such people is really disgusting.

Well said, TD. It must comfort you to know that dem mayors of island cities in the DEM USA archipelago will keep the Democratic Party a permanent minority with this stupid election idiocy only outdone by what trump does everyday .

I don't think that a monument to LBJ or Nixon should be torn down even though they both were bannerrhoids who pissed all over our constitution. Like it or not, General Lee was highly revered by much of the south and some in the North and is still ranked as one of the best generals that came out of west point. I really wonder about people who demand such an absolutist position on this-what is really the motivation?

Re: Down goes General Lee

Still waiting for the outrage to remove the Benedict Arnold monument since according to liberal doctrine all evidence of "traitors" must be removed from sight.

Benedict Arnold was a patriot.

Perfectly true. You talk out of all 360 socialist degrees of your mouth .

does having a statute of say Andrew Jackson or William Henry Harrison intimidate Indians? how about General McARthur? is that intimidating Japanese Americans? General Pershing: German Americans. Eliot Ness-Italian Americans.

its funny you pretend to be such a great patriot when it serves you while denigrating America constantly and whining about its president etc. Calling me a white supremacist shows how intellectually bankrupt your silly PC/Leftist swill is

Thank you for trying to educate democrats as to how to get elected in the south.

Unfortunately, the moronic nonsense between their ears will permanently get in the way .

State glorification of the Confederacy constitutes state intimidation of blacks. It's basically terrorism.

credible proof required for that idiotic claim. a monument is just that-its not like the states are having a LETS RESPECT THE KLAN DAY or so forth.

It's state glorification of the Confederacy. You don't see how the state glorifying the Confederacy is state intimidation of blacks? Too bad. Good luck grasping it.

It's the same as the state burning a cross in someone's yard.

BTW, it is hilarious to read you talk about patriotism.

Re: Down goes General Lee

Those statues should be removed and placed in a museum so people can learn their history and who these people were and what they stood for.

Re: Down goes General Lee

Lol PC is a liberal creation!

That I can't say.

But you're trying to pigeon-hole half the country into your meme, and it don't work that way. There's liberals that own guns, hunt, strongly support free speech, and hate political correctness. I grew-up with just this crowd. And we were all Democrats, and nearly all still are.

Just as I'm sure most conservatives are not uneducated alt-right racist assholes.
