Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[martybegan]

As soon as they were “back into the fold”, they began figuring out how to reinstitute as much white supremacy as possible.

Because they were never wrong.

This monument celebrates that history.

As would be expected of losers in that situation. And the overbearing desire for revenge by the Radical Republicans tired out the North before Reconstruction could be completed.

Again, who cares what you think it celebrates because in the end they still lost.

and in the end the failure of reconstruction was rectified.

 

[AntonToo]

We don't want new ones, we want the old ones

what the hell is the difference?

if you don't want it new, then you shouldn't want it old.

 

[Marener]

As would be expected of losers in that situation.

In this case, it wasn’t even the losers, but the descendants of those losers since the statute was built over 50 years later.

It’s a monument to the ideals of these losers.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The war started before the first shots, when the State legislatures voted seccession and seized federal property.

This is fair.

 

[martybegan]

if you don't want it new, then you shouldn't want it old.

That doesn't make any sense. The ones put up decades ago were part of the healing process between the losers and the winners.

They are all dead now.

before they were torn down or removed under the cover of night.

Monument in question was legaly removed after court ruling.

Nothing you've just said applies.

I was talking about the 2020 monument removals in general, fucktard.

So none were torn down?

None were removed under duress?

You guys are just as bad as those taliban idiots who destroyed those Buddahs, but you don't see it.

 

[AntonToo]

Fucktard have you read the topic of the thread?

You can oppose illicit vandalism, yet support removal of objectionable statutes by legal means.

This statue in particular was legally removed, so what you've said doesn't apply to it.

 

[martybegan]

Fucktard have you read the topic of the thread?

You can oppose illicit vandalism yet support legal removal of statutes.

Did you read what I was responding to? the thread is about this one Statue, my comment was about the situation in general, you illiterate ****.

Yeah, you "oppose" it but don't seem to be bothered as long as you get the end result you want.

Meanwhile the geniuses on your side defaced the memorial to the 54th Mass Regiment and some bust of an abolitionist during their purge.

Sure, get triggered and keep shouting while addressing nothing you quote.

 

[martybegan]

Sure, get triggered and keep muttering.

You morons keep using "triggered" the wrong way.

Pathetic.

 

[rightwinger]

If it would have ended without war, I don't think you would have seen the animosity found after the failure of Reconstruction.

If the South had not overreacted to the election of Lincoln, 600,000 lives could have been saved. Lincoln could not have ended slavery even if he wanted to.
Best he wanted was to end expansion into new states

Animosity would have lasted anyway as blacks would not accept second class citizenship forever

Yep, triggered.

Lost blood increases animosity, especially for the loser.

 

[martybegan]

Yep, triggered.

Triggered people don't respond back, you dipshit.

 

[rightwinger]

That doesn't make any sense. The ones put up decades ago were part of the healing process between the losers and the winners.

They are all dead now.

It had nothing to do with healing and everything to do with retaliating against blacks fighting for Civil Rights.
Any time blacks fought for more rights, we got more Confederate monuments and more rounds of Dixie

 

[Marener]

Lost blood increases animosity, especially for the loser.

That animosity is still being stoked and nurtured by the revisionists, the likes of whom built this monument.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why the Confederacy was formed
They saw the rest of the world abandoning slavery
They saw new states opposing slavery
They saw a rising abolitionist tide.

When Lincoln was elected, they rushed to create a country that was 40 percent enslaved

That is a lie. You never heard of how states were admitted on a one-for-one basis? Flunked history?

When most of these went up it was when the soldiers were dying off of old age.

Right now it has to do with the left trying to pick up some unearned gravitas over a fight that ended before many of them were born.

It just shows what terrible winners leftists are. They need complete subjugation before they move onto the next thing.

 

[AntonToo]

Triggered people don't respond back, you dipshit.

I will say, you never miss a chance to make a total fool of yourself.

You clearly have no idea what the word means, which is ironic when you accuse others of same.
