For Every Confederate Soldier Statue They Remove, Put Up 10

The sense of revisionism I used was the second below.

From Merriam-Webster:
Definition of revisionism

1. 1: a movement in revolutionary Marxian socialism favoring an evolutionary rather than a revolutionary spirit
   
   
2. 2: advocacy of revision (as of a doctrine or policy or in historical analysis)

Good for you.
Obviously this discussion is beyond your capabilities.

Recognizing that rebellion against one's country and one's oaths is not honorable is reverting to history, not changing, altering or revising it.

THAT is revisionist history.

The oath to the constitution that our politicians and elected officials are sworn to uphold maintains they will not operate against the tenets of the constitution.

Which of course the Union did when they sought to control and steal from the south...and which is what the feds today are doing when they seek to control and steal from the remaining residents of rural areas in the west.

And when they violate the oath, and when the government oppresses and harms the people in violation of the constitution, then we absolutely are obliged to raise up against them.

Psst...seeking to oust tyrants and criminals from seats of powers isn't the same as "rebellion against one's country"...any more than "public lands" and "federally owned lands" are the same thing.

The Confederates took up arms against their country.....Traitors

But even worse than their treason was their crimes against humanity. Forming a nation with 40% of its people in bondage
One of the worst societies in the history of mankind

Trying to make those who fought against the country into heroes is the very essence of 'revisionism'.

The wounds of the civil war were healed decades ago, and have just been opened up recently by the ones who want a divided nation.

You want to erase this nation's history, one step at a time. It makes for an easier takeover of this country by people who hate America as it is.

Those monuments were not put up after the war

They were put up by the thousands 50-100 years after the war in response to the growing civil rights movement

Gotta keep those negroes in their place

Confederate soldiers’ statues are being removed all over the South. For in New Orleans, one in Virginia. More in Florida. But these are all on public land, in city squares. There is no attempt to remove any statues (or even flags) from private property. People can fly flags or display statues in their front yards, in full view, if they wish to. Some people here in Tampa, Florida already do.

So if the do-gooders really want to make Confederate statues an issue, let’s make it one for them. For every Confederate soldier statue they remove, let’s put 10 more up. They remove 10, we put up 100. They remove 100, we put up 1000.

Before you know it, you won’t be able to drive 2 blocks without seeing a reminder of the Confederacy and the people who fought for it. The do-gooders will wish they never came up with this idea. And yeah, there’s always airplanes with skywriting and message trailers.

Now, as for the politics, I can sympathize with black folks being uncomfortable with glorification of the nation that supported slavery. And maybe the flags representing that (partially) could be a bit over the top. Maybe that statue of Jefferson Davis also.

But the removal of soldiers’ statues is not acceptable. Jefferson Davis was a politician who led the Confederacy. And the Confederate flag represents that nation and its politics. But soldiers don’t make laws. They don’t prescribe policy. They follow orders and risk their lives (and often lose them) in wars. It’s just not right to remove soldiers’ statues and dishonor them in the process. They take them down….put more up.

Wonderful idea....start a GoFundMe account for it.

No, it's not.

Revisionism is removing all trace of cultures that you don't approve of.

Including the culture that fought against Federal overreach.

"Traditional Culture Is an Obstacle to the CCP’s Dictatorship"

"Traditional Culture Challenges the Legitimacy of the CCP Rule"

"
In order to seize, maintain and consolidate its tyranny, the CCP needs to replace human nature with its evil Party nature, and the Chinese traditional culture with its Party culture of “deceit, wickedness, and violence.”
This destruction and substitution includes cultural relics, historical sites, and ancient books, which are tangible, and such intangible things as the traditional outlook on morality, life, and the world. All aspects of people’s lives are involved, including their actions, thoughts, and lifestyles.

At the same time, the CCP regards insignificant and superficial cultural manifestations as the “essence,” retaining them, and then puts this essence up as a façade. The Party keeps the semblance of tradition while replacing the real tradition with Party culture. It then deceives the people and international society behind a façade of carrying on and developing Chinese traditional culture."

Commentary 6: On How the Chinese Communist Party Destroyed Traditional Culture

Sound familiar, liewinger?

It does to me.

So...YOU'RE culture is the culture of a 4 year attempt to start a country based on keeping slavery and being stupid enough to start a war by firing on a federal installation that was doing nothing to their so-called new country.

Even the NAZI culture lasted 8 years....twice as long as YOUR loser culture.

Pay into a GoFundMe account....pay until it hurts. Think of it as your penance for NOT being at Malheur Wildlife Refuge with your peps. Think of it as making up for hiding at home rather than standing up for your beliefs and for snacks with the Bundys.

The removal of all biblical imagery and public reference and then the removal of beautiful monuments, many of which have stood for a century or more, and which record in stone and iron the history, beauty and heroism of our country, is communism at work.

 

[koshergrl]

Next they'll be forcing cake bakers to participate in sacreligious homosexual rites!

 

[koshergrl]

And telling children that if they engage in underaged sex, go to their school counselors for helpful tips and rides to the abortionists!

 

[Synthaholic]

Yes, remind people that you support treason. Put up a Trump sign, too, and there will be no doubt.

I don't support treason, and you have no information that I do. But I have information that you just flunked reading comprehension.

And if it's treason you want to talk about, that would be the Obama/al Baghdadi COLLUSION, and the Hillary espionage and pay for play crimes.

Confederacy = treason.

Got it?

and put them all in AZ, the Alabama of the West

The traitors were, of course the Union leaders who wanted Confederate resources

No, the traitors were the ones who wanted to secede from the United States Of America, you dumb shit.

 

[Synthaholic]

Where are the memorials for the British soldiers that fought in the War for Independence?

Umm..let me think...umm...I GOT IT!!!

WE DON'T PUT UP MONUMENTS TO ENEMIES AND TRAITORS!!!

 

[Synthaholic]

They should ship all these statues to Vicksburg National Military Park where they will have a good home along with the other 1400 monuments there.
