Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[martybegan]

Nazis weren’t forgiven and let back into the fold?

Chattel slavery is abhorrent. This isn’t a contest. It’s a discussion about whether we honor those who fought for abhorrent causes.

We made getting rid of them part of the surrender. The Union put no such requirements on Confederates.

Back then it was part of life, and was in the process of being banned. We weren't the first to do so, but we weren't the last either.

Hell Russia kept its serfs until the late 1800's/ early 1900's.

The only difference is the matter of degree. They’re both borne of white supremacy. I didn’t deny it.

Try to be less retarded. I pointed out real differences and for you to insist that everything is just about race is... too stupid even for a lefard.

It’s less harmless if your glorify their white supremacist cause. You’re keeping alive an ideology that needs to die.

Again, your ignore EVERYTHING, and only focus on YOUR narrative of race. That is a you thing and has nothing to do with the rest of the country.

So, piss off.

That’s ******* unhinged. No one is oppressed by removing a statute. Jesus, the victim hood.

LOL. It is ok for a leftard to argue that people are oppressed by a statue BEING there, but arguing that people are oppressed by removing it is somehow... "unhinged"?


The level of retarded shit talk from the left just keeps going up. It is literally unbelievable.

I have come to expect it, intellectually. I know, INTELLECTUALLY that there is no limit to how retarded you lefties are prepared to pretend to be, to support your narrative,

but emotionally, I am still stunned at the depths of retardness, you are willing to go, and without shame.

The motives of those that fought, were far more varied that just holding on to slavery.

Relatively few of the soldiers actually owned slaves.

So, what you just said, was retarded of you.

Republicans in Congress control DC now, it is their ruling committees and their Sergeant of arms for the Senate and house. Yes they have a Democratic mayor as part of the ruling board.

Bull shit.

Democrats have been running D.C. since I was born.

They still run the city and the money.

They still have their guy in at the fed, and he refuses to lower interest rates even though inflation is at 1.8%.

If inflation was at 7% or above....he'd have an excuse. But because Democrats are calling the shots, he refuses to lower interest rates to improve the housing industry, keeping the costs of buying a home unaffordable for most of the Middle-Class.

Where's that Recession they predicted would hit us once the tariffs took effect?

Nowhere.

Instead we had solid growth last quarter. Over 3%, no thanks to the fed chairman.

 

[Moonglow]

Then why in the hell is Trump changing names on the Kennedy Center?

Equal rights was a part of reconciliation. The south sure as hell didn’t afford that to black people.

The ideology of white supremacy drove the civil war and drove segregation. This statue is a monument to that ideology.

Not really since those soldiers fought to uphold the so called right to slavery as an economic means to an end.

 

[Moonglow]

Equal rights was a part of reconciliation. The south sure as hell didn’t afford that to black people.

The ideology of white supremacy drove the civil war and drove segregation. This statue is a monument to that ideology.

And Republicans went along with it.

 

[mudwhistle]

Then why in the hell is Trump changing names on the Kennedy Center?

You're making shit up again,

 

[Moonglow]

You're making shit up again,

Nope...The MAGATs have tried to whitewash moar American history by eliminating anything that references minorities and those that are LGBTQ...

 

[martybegan]

The ideology of white supremacy drove the civil war and drove segregation. This statue is a monument to that ideology.

It just took a few decades later. Again blame John Wilkes Booth for assassinating Lincoln.

White superiority was the normal viewpoint through most of the western world, even in the places that freed their slaves earlier.

White Supremacy only came about as an ideology once other races GOT their rights.

That statue is no such thing.

The only one that was is the one I referenced, and that one was also taken down and shouldn't be put back.

 

[Correll]

Not really since those soldiers fought to uphold the so called right to slavery as an economic means to an end.

Yes, since there were many other reasons that they fought, and you leftards are retarded for pretending that they all were motivated by slavery.

 

[mudwhistle]

Nope...The MAGATs have tried to whitewash moar American history by eliminating anything that references minorities and those that are LGBTQ...

Bull shit.

All Trump did was remove systemic racism better known as Diversity Equity & Inclusion from the executive branch.

DEI is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

 

[Moonglow]

Yes, since there were many other reasons that they fought, and you leftards are retarded for pretending that they all were motivated by slavery.

By what other means was the war waged? You want to try to pigeonhole people so badly that you can't converse effectively.

 

[Correll]

Bull shit.

All Trump did was remove systemic racism better known as Diversity Equity & Inclusion from the executive branch.

DEI is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The libtards know that. WHne they say otherwise, they are lying.

 

[Moonglow]

Bull shit.

DEI is a violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Then why erase the history of minorities in the military? White people are the majority in every aspect of American society. How are they being kept from continuing like they have since the country was founded?

 

[Nostra]

Maybe someone will put a statute up about all the Nazi heroes who died defending Normandy on D Day.

******* dumb.

Bring that up at your next KKK meeting.

The only one that was is the one I referenced, and that one was also taken down and shouldn't be put back.

A few decades? It took 100 years to pass the civil rights act. Arguably civil rights were worse in 1912 than they were in the immediate post-war period.

This statue commemorates white supremacy. It labels the people who fought for it as heroes. Their cause was just. You keep ignoring what it actually says. You ignore reality.

 

[Marener]

The motives of those that fought, were far more varied that just holding on to slavery.

Relatively few of the soldiers actually owned slaves.

So, what you just said, was retarded of you.

Not that varied. Slavery was by far the most important factor. Not even close. It’s dumb to try and muddy the waters.

 

[Marener]

Try to be less retarded. I pointed out real differences and for you to insist that everything is just about race is... too stupid even for a lefard.

The difference is a matter of degree.

Not everything is about race. But slavery and segregation were. Don’t make a straw man.

Again, your ignore EVERYTHING, and only focus on YOUR narrative of race. That is a you thing and has nothing to do with the rest of the country.

So, piss off.

Try to act like an adult.

LOL. It is ok for a leftard to argue that people are oppressed by a statue BEING there, but arguing that people are oppressed by removing it is somehow... "unhinged"?

I wouldn’t argue that and I don’t think anyone else should. The statue commemorates oppression.

but emotionally, I am still stunned at the depths of retardness, you are willing to go, and without shame.

You’re so bound by a narrative that it prevents you from rational thought. You accuse others of what you do yourself.
