Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[EMH]

Sure it is. Both of them.

Confederate history is part of AMERICAN history and anyone that says otherwise is full of shit.

Israel? **** the muslims.

IQ<5

The Confederate history is a history of slavery and treason, and neither of those is anything conservative at all, and it is a tribute to your RELENTLESS IDIOCY that you try to argue otherwise.

Supporting Israel is 100% anti conservative, since conservative foreign policy is non interventionalist.

You are a dumbfuck redneck moron and you do not represent "Republicans" or "conservatives" anymore than the Spanberger supporting OP does...

And here comes the crux of the matter. the guilt by association attempt for things that happened over a century ago, to mask the true racism shown by the left.

Those monuments commemorate the activities of the Confederacy over a century ago

A nation celebrating the institution of slavery is pure evil

No other way to describe it

 

[rightwinger]

I defer to the people that beat them, and allowed them to mourn as they saw fit, because in the end the victors got what they wanted.

It is just that the South be able to mourn their dead.
But not to celebrate why they died.

"pure evil"

once again, if everything is "evil" nothing is evil.

Mourn as they saw fit.

In the end they are still part of this country, and that was the purpose of the war.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth backed up his decision to return a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery removed by “the woke lemmings” who have erased Confederate symbols from American culture.

The Reconciliation Monument, a memorial to the Confederacy, was removed from Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia in 2023.

Hegseth explained his decision to bring back the monument to Arlington during a Fox News appearance Thursday afternoon.

“Because we recognize our history, we don’t erase it. We don’t follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues,” the secretary said.

Good. That's American history. Sadly the dems made it into a political/ethnic issue.

Whether you agree or disagree with the government in charge, the soldiers fought for their states.

Union or confederate they should be honored. And hopefully remembered so similar events won’t repeat themselves.

Honored for what? Killing American soldiers?

Both sides were American soldiers.

That's the whole thing about a civil war.

Yeah well one side was fighting FOR the United States and one side AGAINST it

And they lost, and the winners brought them back into the fold. The purpose was always to get them back in the Union.

They never stopped being Americans.

Mourn as they saw fit.

It was a despicable part of our history

Nobody should yearn for the good ole days of the confederacy

Unmm
Yes, Slavery is evil

To celebrate it is evil

Yet again Marty refuses to think for himself when it's convenient.

Becuase he's too big of a ***** to even try.

Wrong, not evil.

It was part of the standard human condition for far longer than it has not been.

Talk about not being able to understand the situation due to progressive dogmatic orthodoxy.

Parsons from 1984 would be proud.

You're the one pretending that the lost cause narrative is about "reconciliation".

You refuse to think for yourself and see the monument for what it is. Instead you hide behind fictions you've created.

 

[Lesh]

That stupid statue was unveiled on 1914 on the anniversary of Jeff Davis’s birthday

What does that tell you?

 

[martybegan]

You're the one pretending that the lost cause narrative is about "rconcilliation".

You refuse to think for yourself and see the monument for what it is. Instead you hide behind fictions you've created.

I don't care about the lost cause narrative, because they lost. All you see it as is another wedge point for modern politics.

Meanwhile you probably worship actual assholes like Che Guevera.

Opinion and exaggeration.

Far from exaggeration

The South has celebrated the time it broke away from the US to preserve slavery for 150 years

The Trump administration celebrates it today

Once again, the attempted link of bad acts in the past to current people.

Pathetic.
