Richmond is taking down Confederate statues: Is this the end for other Confederate memorials?

[USAFgolferVol]

"Is this the end of Confederate memorials?"

should be. it's long overdue

 

[1972 Grad]

Actually, they did. The Constitution says treason is the act of waging war against the US and aiding/abetting it's enemies. The US simply chose not to prosecute and hang Confederates.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Mary Surrat, George Atzerodt, David Herald, and Lewis Powell..

 

[happy-go_vol]

I didn't say it did. You made the comparison to Germany so my question was valid yet remains unanswered. Are you willing to also sacrifice legit free speech in exchange for a few statues?

Marxists do not care about free speech

You'll need to first figure out how to identify a marxist before making that statement

The confederate states were a separate country. Did Japan commit treason in 1941?

I know what a marxist is. You obviously do not know

Should all Martin Luther King statues be removed?

Yes, you often make ignorant posts

You label everyone a marxist who dares to be smarter than you. You have next to zero understanding of any economic or govt system. The very basics of every discussion on this forum are beyond your comprehension. At this point you're little more than a slight snicker when anyone passes by your post

- you're a marxist
- you're ignorant

Wash, rinse, repeat

 

[utvolpj]

A man in favor of nonviolent protests to gain equal rights? Yeah that makes sense and is clearly comparable

I couldn't care less if they are up or laying flat on the ground.

Since you are the smartest guy in the room, maybe you should consider sharing your vast knowledge with rest of us. So far, you have kept it hidden.

I dint label everyone, just people who support the modern day dem party because. You dems support social marxism based on ypur posts. All the "isms' arre essentially the same only varying slightly. Say what you will, it doesnt change what you are.

I'm not a Dem and don't support them as a party. You simply don't pay attention or don't understand what is being discussed. Please quote one post where I support the things you claim. Should be easy right?

My feeling is that you seem to be against everything except PJ.

MLK is billed by you and the Myth Makers as the paragon of morality and virtue. A true man of God.

But reality is a nasty monster. MLK, a man of God, a pastor, visited PROSTITUTES on a frequent basis, and is on tape speaking some of the most VILE things about women that a man can utter.

MLK the NON-VIOLENT civil rights leader? When he visited communities to protest, he would always spout the perfunctory call for non-violence, knowing full well that there would be violence.

DR Martin Luther King PLAGIARIZED his doctoral thesis, so even his title is a sham. Why has be been allowed to get away with his thievery?

Should King's statues be removed, or should the fantasy about him continue?

You did not answer my question. Again, should the MLK statues be removed knowing that he was a fraud?

 

[Bigun]

Intetesting how the lefties are all of the sudden interested in the past discretion of people vs putting George Floyd on a level that rivals their heroes like antifa, Hitler, and Robert Byrd.

Easy answer (again): no

That's what you interestingly choose to label him. Maybe because of what he actually accomplished but who really knows the motivation after reading your obviously well-rehearsed statement.

Oh no, not PROSTITUTES. That's pretty similar to fighting a war to protect slavery

This is an exercise in wordsmithing "inferior". Lincoln abhorred slavery.

Also, you're peddling a false narrative about the border states.

Wiki:

The Proclamation applied only to slaves in Confederate-held lands; it did not apply to those in the four slave states that were not in rebellion (Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri, which were unnamed), nor to Tennessee (unnamed but occupied by Union troops since 1862) and lower Louisiana (also under occupation), and specifically excluded those counties of Virginia soon to form the state of West Virginia. Also specifically excluded (by name) were some regions already controlled by the Union army. Emancipation in those places would come after separate state actions (as in West Virginia) or the December 1865 ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, which made slavery and indentured servitude, except for those duly convicted of a crime, illegal everywhere subject to United States jurisdiction

I made no mention on Lincoln's thoughts on slavery. You're deflecting. I said he thought blacks inferior, which he did. He said as much in speeches he gave. That's called racism, right?

And I didn't peddle a false narrative about the border states. They were excluded from the Emancipation Proclamation. The Thirteenth Amendment did abolish slavery, but was not proposed by Lincoln, but by Congress. Lincoln decided to support the Amendment, but there's some evidence that was him following the political winds.
