Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[drudge X]

If true, then..

The Trump crowd might as well melt-down the MLK statues and the George Floyd statues and dynamite the Pettus Bridge, eh?

That swings both ways... don't start something you can't finish... unless you're a stupid LibProg who walks through life clueless...

How about we just let them all co-exist in peace?

MLK has about 30 plus mistresses that we know of.

 

[rightwinger]

He isn't! He is renaming them for American for American soldiers with the same names.

Coincidence?

Long way to catch up with the ***** grabber

 

[Crepitus]

No they’re not. Where did you get this nonsense?

The bigoted rednecks with the flags told me.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Coincidence?

No way. Intentional, you moron!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

How many pussies did he grab? We all know you never grabbed one except on your way out!

I don’t see any statues here, let alone anyone using them to “praise to Slavery or its onerous practices”.

Over 30 women have come forward and he was found liable for sexual assault by a Jury of his peers

Let's put this in terms you can understand.

Being found liable for something is quite different from being convicted of that something. But hey, we like to rush to judgment, don't we?

Well let’s put it this way Skippy
A jury heard the evidence and agreed that Carrol had been assaulted

Cool. So where's the conviction? Where's the jailtime? Why is Trump walking free?

And of course, not all juries can be trusted in this hyper-partisan political environment anyway. Politics from both sides has pervaded our law and justice system, so how can one truly trust the outcomes anymore?

And to prove my point, I'm sure the moment those jurors heard it was Trump being scrutinized, I can guarantee you they all let their political opinions of him drive their judgment to an extent.

Yes, it's more nuanced than "B-but they agreed...!"

Trump has abused that legal system his whole life

Finally caught up with him

But that's not the point, is it? You may wish to put the goalposts back where they were, now.

 

[Correll]

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?

THey didn't. That is your side's spin on it.

 

[TemplarKormac]

rightwinger Furthermore, if you truly cared about fair outcomes in our trial system, you would scrutinize the outcome, not the person.

 

[Mac-7]

Putting monuments to the enemies of the nation in the national cemetery.

What's next? Statues of hitler?

The Confederates are not our enemies

You are simply a lib who hates conservative republicans of today, many of whom are from the South

In fact the democrat party was based in the South and were the party of slavery

 

[Correll]

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

Nice one. you subtly moved teh goal post from the motives of those fighting to the causes of the war.

If you were facing a lesser opponent, that might have worked.


As it is, it was clear to me that you were running away from the previous point.


It is sad that you don't have the moral courage to concede such a minor point.

You NEED to paint the men in question as all evul slaversl, even though you just admitted it was not true.


Very dishonest and raises obvious questions about what is the gain to you, to lie about these long dead men.


The answer is one I have already given. YOu wish to divide modern America against itself, as part of the lefty agenda of destroying America.

Drama Queen

Yes, you always consider the person
That is what a jury does

 

[rightwinger]

The Confederates are not our enemies

The Confederacy was an Evil Empire built on slavery

 

[Correll]

The difference is a matter of degree.

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

Try to act like an adult.

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

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

Now you are just talking in circles.


The issue today is that your side HATES America. This is not about yoru hate of the Confederacy, but your hate of AMERICA.

The South is part of America. The South's rebellion and reintegration into the greater American Identity is a huge part of America's story.

And as a leftard, you hate it.

And you do not want modern Americans, celebrating a past and a heritage that you hate.

Every other group, is welcome to celebrate their culture and history. Indeed, you insist on it.


But not white Americans.


That is your hate. And your oppression.
