For Every Confederate Soldier Statue They Remove, Put Up 10

[JonKoch]

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

Did you support the treason of the Revolutionary War ?

Conservatives did not.

The "conservatives" of that time bore no more relation to modern conservatism than did the Founding Fathers to today's "liberals".

THE MOST RADICAL GUYS OF THEIR TIME?

Classical liberalism is not defined as radical.

I'm sorry, but your education level has proven slack. Please seek remedial assistance before proceeding.

Yes Bubs, my minor in history points out your BS meme about "classical liberalism" doesn't meet the smell test cupcake on the US Founders

Our Hidden History of Corporations in the United States

When American colonists declared independence from England in 1776, they also freed themselves from control by English corporations that extracted their wealth and dominated trade. After fighting a revolution to end this exploitation, our country’s founders retained a healthy fear of corporate power and wisely limited corporations exclusively to a business role. Corporations were forbidden from attempting to influence elections, public policy, and other realms of civic society.

Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to profit was seen as a means to that end. The states also imposed conditions (some of which remain on the books, though unused) like these*:
Our Hidden History of Corporations in the United States



"All Property, indeed, except the Savage's temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it.

Why do you post opinions in place of law? Ben had his opinions, as did all others.

As to your pic - indeed, the United States is not a Christian nation.

But it is by a high percentage a nation of Christians.

Jefferson Davis was never tried for treason, but was still jailed and indicted on treason. He and the Confederates are not worthy of statues or shrines. They deserve to be taught and written about in history books, not to be celebrated.

Jeff Davis, Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson have been sugar coated in a fake history that they fought for a just and noble cause in the Confederacy

The Confederacy was treason against the US to create a nation dedicated to preserving the institution of slavery forever. The election of Lincoln threw the states into a frenzy that they had to act fast or lose their right to keep other humans in bondage. The Confederacy was far from noble or grand.......It was a nation in which 40% of its population was kept as slaves. An embarrassment to mankind

Slavery was wrong, however that is not the reason the U.S. under the leadership of the disgraceful Lincoln was willing to kill to keep states and their people from seceding and becoming their own country.

By the way, the U.S. also commited treason fighting the Revolutionary War.

Put up whatever you want Cracker. You`re not getting your slaves back.

Never had a slave. Never would want one. I've been a victim of affirmative action though. And an occasional bigot slur.

Confederate soldiers’ statues are being removed all over the South..

Actually, I WON.

Tearing Down Monuments to Treason in Defense of Slavery -

 

[protectionist]

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.

Very much like ISIS blowing up so many beautiful and important historic monuments. Makes you wonder when the left-tards will begin stoning women and lopping off Christian heads.

Slave Mongers deserve Contempt not Statues

The thread isn't talking about "slave mongers, blockhead. It's talking about SOLDIERS.

Get on topic, or get out of the thread.

Lincoln opposed slavery.......always did
Lincoln was also a politician. He understood the politics of both the north and the south. He sided with the abolitionists but was unwilling to break the nation in two to accommodate them.
But the war was about slavery. Secession was to ensure slavery
Lincoln wanted to reunite the nation and was willing to tolerate more slavery if the south would rejoin the Union
But in the end....it was Lincoln who issued the Emancipation Proclamation and fought for the 13th amendment

Do you support AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ?

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.

poor white supremacist.

losers don't write history.... you're a loser. *shrug*

The thread isn't talking about politics, dummy. It's talking about SOLDIERS.

These monuments were not put up to honor the dead. If they were, they would have been erected in the years immediately following the war. Instead, these monuments started popping up in 1916 and again in the 1950s not as a reflection on a lost war but as a statement against civil rights

These monuments are a celebration of terrorism which was enforcing second class status on blacks in the south. It was a barely hidden statement celebrating a time when blacks were enslaved. The monuments are a monument to white supremacy not to some war heroes who had been dead 50-100 years ago
