Virginia governor to announce removal of Lee statue

[excalibur]

It's amazing how the fake news press lets Northam stay in office. A repub caught wearing a klan costume would be crucified.

The Democrats are the Party of slavery, the Civil War, the KKK, Jim Crow, lynchings, Minneapolis, etc.

And yet, her approval rating is still higher than trump‘s. Guess we see who the blame belongs to.

Your OCD obsession with approval ratings? So did General Lee in the south before he and Democrats drove it into the ground.

Republicans in 1860: All lives matter

Democrats in 1860: Only white lives matter. Don't you dare say all lives matter.

Republicans in 2020: All lives matter

Democrats in 2020: Black lives matter. Don't you dare say all lives matter. That's not inclusive enough

Your bigoted ilk are the freaks and fringe from the beginning. We slaughtered your hateful, evil insurrection in 1860.....and we will today!

Rage, lefty! Killings of innocents at the hands of left wing hate must happen!

OFF WITH YOUR STATUE.

Past nothing. They've got an even more disgusting present. The worst evil in America and you revel in it.

The sanitation of history for the benefit of the easily offended is not a "loss for righties" as much as it's a loss for the country.

Putting up the statue was the “sanitation of history,” or rather the radical rewriting of history to glorify the villains. Removing the statue is a matter of ceasing to lie to the public about their history.

Hitler was a socialist.

No, he wasn’t. “First they came for the socialists.”

Ah, that fascist mindset. Now only YOU get to chose who are the villains and why? There are some people, believe it or not, who don't look at history through the lens of skin color like you do. In a free country, they shouldn't have to.

Governor Blackface is just one more authoritarian dictator abusing his power. And surprise surprise, you support it.

 

[EatTheRich]

These people were more than just one thing. Lee was a great general and was helpful in reconciling the North and the South. But to left-wing racists, who only see things in terms of skin color, Lee was just another southern democrat racist.

The left is judging him by his behavior ... commanding an army for a country explicitly founded on white supremacy.

LOL, whatever make you feel better, mick.

The left can judge him any way they want. I don't care. It's when they impose their judgments on others that they cross the line into fascism.

Show me one ballot that said Southern Conservative Democrat...I'll save you some time of faking one...You can't. You are they and you joined their political party.

He was a democrat...The idea of Southern Democrat is that they democrat can say they are not associated with these Democrats, like Bill Clinton and they will go even so to claim they were in that day akin to the Republican party/Lincoln.

Resolved, That while the constitution of the United States was ordained and established, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, and contains ample provisions for the protection of the life, liberty, and property of every citizen, the dearest constitutional rights of the people of Kansas have been fraudulently and violently taken from them; their territory has been invaded by an armed force; spurious and pretended legislative, judicial, and executive officers have been set over them, by whose usurped authority, sustained by the military power of the government, tyrannical and unconstitutional laws have been enacted and enforced; the rights of the people to keep and bear arms have been infringed; test oaths of an extraordinary and entangling nature have been imposed, as a condition of exercising the right of suffrage and holding office; the right of an accused person to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury has been denied; the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, has been violated; they have been deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process of law; that the freedom of speech and of the press has been abridged; the right to choose their representatives has been made of no effect; murders, robberies, and arsons have been instigated or encouraged, and the offenders have been allowed to go unpunished; that all these things have been done with the knowledge, sanction, and procurement of the present national administration; and that for this high crime against the constitution, the Union, and humanity, we arraign the administration, the President, his advisers, agents, supporters, apologists, and accessories, either before or after the facts, before the country and before the world; and that it is our fixed purpose to bring the actual perpetrators of these atrocious outrages, and their accomplices, to a sure and condign punishment hereafter.

Clearly the Democrats are like Lincoln and support your right to bear arms, such as the AR-15.

Nope, in this respect Marx is more like his friend and correspondent Karl Marx, whose newspaper columns he encouraged everyone in the country to read, and other far-left opponents of gun control.

 

[EatTheRich]

I think this is part of the reason that democrats are using authoritarian
tactics to take down these statues. democrats are embarrassed by them.

The statues are coming down by popular demand as the anti-racist movement advances. If Democrats today still shared the views of Lee, etc., they would have no desire to take down statues glorifying those men.

 

[EatTheRich]

Again, it's a win only to race-baiters. To people who care about their nations history and traditions, this is a loss. To anyone who believes this is a free country and not a dictatorship, this is also a loss.

One of the things that most seems to define the leftist democrats these days is this "if we don't like it, you can't do it" attitude of theirs. Any time they get the least little bit of power, their authoritarian side comes out.

The only saving grace for them is that they literally own the national media.

We are talking about statues glorifying vile racist mass murderers maintained by the government.

 

[EatTheRich]

Having the Lee statutue taken down is an intellectual and moral absurdity and reflects poorly on those who support the notion.

Did you cheer when the Saddam statue was toppled?

Bullschitt. The statues are coming down because Governor Blackface is an authoritarian who is being supported by fascists.

No.

I cheered when his vicious, monstrous sons and he were killed.

No, YOU are talking about a statue that YOU feel "glorifies vile racist mass murderers maintained by the government"

Last I checked, a free country means YOU don't get to determine how people see a historical figure.
