Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

"We must honor those who fought to keep slavery legal"

Hegseth.

A wasted 10 millions dollars as the next (D) president (and there will be one) will have it removed.

 

[Nostra]

The inscription on the statute implies that the confederacy had the proper moral cause in the war.

Which is to enslave people.

It’s a memorial to white supremacy.

Why are you trying to erase slavery? Oh yeah, your party is the party of slavery.

 

[Nostra]

Did you read the inscription? What’s with describing confederate soldiers as heroes?

Man up, Buttercup.

Words scare you too much.

 

[Nostra]

Recognize History? Are you serious?

Trump has spent every living minute in office with his appointed goons, to ERASE all history on Trump and others... he doesn't like...

Lies.

 

[Nostra]

Why does a cemetery in 2025 need to celebrate 1860 morality? We don’t have monuments celebrating the brave members of the KKK.

Keep trying to erase the racist history of your party, halfwit.

 

[BlindBoo]

Wait a minute, I thought you guys said they were destroying all these old monuments dedicated to the, conscripts mostly, of the South's bid for independence.

Link us up to that quote, liar.

Well duh Marty...it was removed because it was ordered to be removed.... CONGRESS runs/manages DC -delegated to them in the Constitution...(not the President).

Congress created a board to run the city and Capitol, a person from Metro Police, a person from Capitol Police, a Park Service person I think, and the two Sergeant of Arms, and the DC Mayor who are under a Congressional and a Senate Committee.

It was removed to bend the knee to lefty ****-waddles.

The KKK wasn't forgiven like the confederates were.

Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument removed by ‘woke lemmings’ to Arlington National Cemetery

The Reconciliation Monument was removed from Arlington National Cemetery in 2023.

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.

Remembered, yes, honored, no.

The KKK wasn't forgiven like the confederates were.

Why weren’t the KKK forgiven? Is it because you’re applying 2025 morality to 1915?

If the confederate memorial was there to forgive the confederate soldiers, that would be so much more palatable.

It’s not about forgiveness, because the shrine justifies their actions.

The KKK wasn't forgiven like the confederates were.

Sadly far too many see no reason why the KKK would need forgiven for anything.

 

[martybegan]

Why weren’t the KKK forgiven? Is it because you’re applying 2025 morality to 1915?

Because the 1860's-1870's KKK were a bunch of actual criminals?

That you feel you have to lie about what he said,

shows that you yourself know that you are in the wrong on this issue.

You are applying 2025 morality to 1860.

I guess you have to since your racist party hasn’t changed. You are doing everything you can to bring back slavery.

 

[Marener]

Because the 1860's-1870's KKK were a bunch of actual criminals?

Fascinating, because you apparently think waging war against the United States isn’t a crime.

Pnutbag does nothing but lie.

Pnutbag does nothing but lie.

All leftards are increasingly dishonest. They are really not doing well.


I recall during the obama and biden years. I was honest about how bad I felt about it, and our chances.

Facing bad news, is part of being a man.

That one is particularly stupid in his dishonesty.

Agreed.
