Confederate Memorial at Arlington will be removed despite GOP opposition
Though dozens of congressional Republicans protested the move, the Army says it will begin work in coming days

The U.S. Army intends to remove a Confederate memorial from Arlington National Cemetery next week as part of its ongoing work to rid Defense Department property of divisive rebel imagery, defying dozens of congressional Republicans who have vociferously protested the move.





Why would Republicans object to the removal of Confederate monuments if the Confederates were Democrats??? 🤔
 
Watching Republicans get infuriated over the removal of statues of Democrats doesn't stop being amusing.
I am used to it, now, but still think it pointless and stupid to be tearing down statues that reflect history somebody doesn't like.

The same reason Germans are the most Anti-Nazi people in Europe.
 
I don't use the 'C'-word lightly, but historically, it's what communists do.
Just more along the lines of he that controls the present, controls the past and he that controls the past, controls the future, or so they think. But it is really about making sure nobody thinks about it much. Whether it is like communists, it probably is, but I figure this has been done is spates throughout history and in countries long before communism, so the communist thing in this case does not bother me as much as the repeated stupidity.
 
kaz couldn't answer this.
kaz is British why the fuck would he know?

Because its part of American history and someone's "art".

Maybe you'd prefer one of druggie Hunter's paintings there?
