Do we care if the Democrats take down statues of former Democrats? As long as we all remember that they were ALL Democrats.

Chief Justice Taney wasn't a rebel, and remained on the Supreme Court until his death.

Sure, Taney was a bigot, is that the standard now? If you were bigoted, you get cancelled?

A lot of people get offended by a lot of things. Do we, the American people have a right not to be offended?

How far back do you want to go with that 'treason' comment?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Given all the problems going on doesn't the House have better things to focus on

Oh wait, their silly impeachment shit went to shit

This must be the new math, 1, B, and choice *?

I choose the third choice: Laughed at by Mitch McConnell who then uses it to clean his shoes with.

Is this REALLY the most important thing Nancy's House has to worry about? Of course not, I get it. She knows the Senate will vote it down, so then she can claim the GOP are all racists.

Why would we keep monuments to people who committed treason.

You can't really call it treason when the issue of whether a sovereign state's membership in the Union is voluntary was still an undecided legal issue.

And, given that no one was tried or convicted of treason, you can't really say they were guilty of treason.

Mary Surratt, convicted of treason and hanged in 1865

Recalculate.

Read it again, it went much further than that. Even removing the dicta, the main ruling was that Tanney said that the country from its inception held slaves a completely separate class, in this case they were not even "people", as in "we the people"

Surratt was convicted and executed for conspiracy in the assassination of Honest Abe Lincoln- not treason.

What in the world does taking down statues have to do with today's problems?

Will it get people jobs?
Will it stop the carnage in Chicago and other cities?
Will it stop the drug culture?
Will it stop COVID-19?

No wonder politicians are probably held in lower esteem than used-car dealers.

Using your logic we should have put barry against a wall and shot him.

My congressman is also a merchandiser of pre-loved automobiles and trucks, I guess it makes for a nice synergy.

No aspect of history is without any retrospective fault. But you can’t apply today’s standards to other times in history. It’s totally unfair to legacy.
The real concern in all of this is the nefarious motive behind those who are in such a hurry to comprehensively censor history.
Fuck today’s democrats and their abject anti-American bigotry.
