Slippery slope of historical revisionism News

An article from last Sunday's St. Louis Post Dispatch addressing the current hot-topic from the city's po' mistreated black folk who want the Confederate Memorial Monument (over 100 years old) moved out of St. Louis' famous FOREST PARK and hidden from their view forever. The crybaby bastards. IT'S FRIGGING HISTORY assholes...just like the memorial monuments in the park denoting the Northern soldiers.

The only revision I see is some people pretending the Confederacy wasn't entirely about preserving slavery.

As was the nation's capital city. The slave ships arrived New York City where the slave traders had their offices. And look who all bought them.

GEORGE WASHINGTON (between 250-350 slaves)-
THOMAS JEFFERSON (about 200)-
JAMES MADISON (more than 100)-
JAMES MONROE (about 75)-
ANDREW JACKSON (fewer than 200)-
Martin Van Buren (one)-
William Henry Harrison (eleven)-
JOHN TYLER (about 70)-
JAMES POLK (about 25)-
ZACHARY TAYLOR (fewer than 150)-
Andrew Johnson (probably eight)-

And lookee here!

Ulysses S. Grant (probably five)....a president even AFTER old Honest Abe Lincoln. The great emancipator.

excerpt:

t’s a commonplace that Abraham Lincoln never trafficked in slaves, much less owned them – indeed, he “freed the slaves.” But here’s the shocker: Although the slave trade had been abolished in the District of Columbia in 1850, slaves inhabited the capital for another 15 years – till the end of the Civil War. Dwell on that thought: Lincoln fought the Civil War in a slave city – the Great Emancipator inhabited a White House staffed by slaves.

The sad thing is that the monuments, flags and so forth that once denoted a people devoted to their cause has been turned into a racist thing, by racists.

It's amazing how 140 years later, conservatives are STILL trying to justify the evil of the confederacy. But then again, justifying evil seems to be their favorite activity.

"Slippery Slope of Historical Revisionism"

Yet time and again most conservatives fail to learn that their attempts at historical revisionism will never succeed, the truth always finds a way to triumph, regardless how aggressively those on the right seek to propagate their lies.

Yeah, that's what the democrat party has always been about.

Well the Democratic party is America's oldest political party and the conservatives are now on their third party.
But a question about these Japanese-American soldiers in the 442 RCT. why did they join even as their families were sent to relocation centers? In any case the 442 did more to break that long cycle of discrimination against the Japanese-Americans than any other single factor.

And they have been racist, discriminating, oppressing, categorizing sons of bitches every step of the way.

Is that why people voted for the liberal Democratic party for all of these years? Is it their liberalism that hurts the most?

Until the Marxists took it over.

1. Michael Harrington, founder of the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA., knew that infiltration of the Democratic Party was primary, and it already contained all of the progressive elements The Eduard Bernstein Internet Archive Socialism time line.
The DSA remains the principle branch of the Socialist International, whose primary goal is global governance under worldwide socialism.

a. The SI boasts it is successor to the First International of Karl Marx, 1864. “Ever since its inception in 1951, the Socialist International has made cosmetic efforts to distance itself from communist socialists.”
Congressional Socialists No Longer in the Marxist Closet 1

and

The Grasp of Socialist International

2. Creation of the Progressive Caucus is credited to Bernie Sanders. The groups in the radical network include a) the Congressional Progressive Caucus, b) the Congressional Black Caucus, c) the Populist Caucus, and the d) Progressive Democrats of America.

a. Allied with the above is ACORN, SEIU, and the Institute for Policy Studies

b. And, indirectly, the Center for American Progress and the Apollo Alliance.

So how come the conservative political parties keep heading for that big political convention in the sky?

So what party holds the executive branch? But the question is, why can't the conservatives keep a political party as long as the liberals? Why did the Federalist party fold their tent after Adams? Could it have been the Federalist party's attempt to keep people, by threat of imprisonment, from criticizing their political party?

I beg to differ. Never underestimate the ability of people to persist in beliefs that are demonstrably untrue.

Funny you didn't mention the other major political party of that time. Hmmm... I wonder why?

You are as disingenuous as they get.

All of us need help at times with our history, so glad you seem interested. Well the group for ratification of the new Constitution were called Federalists, and the other party that opposed the ratification was called, yep the "Antifederalists." Glad to be of help with your history.

You poor, ignorant fool. You've got yourself all confused now. Ask an adult if you can borrow a history book.
