Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[Mac-7]

Slavery was the only cause significant enough to lead to secession

Thats bullshit

The South hated Northern domination no matter what the issue was

 

[Correll]

The war was fought over the South’s insistence on slavery.

Celebrating those who fought to maintain slavery while ignoring the slaves themselves is reprehensible

And teh men that won that war, set the policy of reconciliation that you are whining about, 150 years later.


Who the **** are you to pass judgement on those men?

I never complained about reconciliation
I complained about celebrating the evil Confederate empire and making excuses for it

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.

Slavery and rebellion are part of AMERICAN history. Whining about it now, 150 years after the fact, is silly behavior for drama queens.

If some history buffs, or people with family connections want to celebrate the sacrifcie of their ancestors that fought bravely in that war, I fully support them in that.

The Southern Identity has been fully assimilated into the larger AMERICAN identity, and regional pride is part of normal AMERICAN PATRIOTISM, and has been for over 150 years.


The move to "Cancel" it, is actually an ANTI-AMERICAN strategy of tearing down our shared history and culture.

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

**** THE MUSLIMS.

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

Thank you, but I am not really a rural working class man. Certainly never had a "redneck" from putting a day of manual labor in the fields.


Looking back, i wish I had been more supportive of my father's efforts at gardening or raising livestock as a "side hussle". If I had been and that had been... more successful, I would happily embrace your smear of "redneck".



YOur contempt for working class rural Americans, is a YOU problem. And it is why so many of them are so strongly MAGA. THey might not have college degrees, but they are smart enough to realize that people that hate them, are not going to be representing their interests.

 

[martybegan]

Slavery is taught. Show me where it isn't taught.

 

[EMH]

**** THE MUSLIMS.

**** YOU, TRAITOR. GET OUT OF THE GOP, TRAITOR.

YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE, TRAITOR.

YOU ARE A TRAITOR, A ZIONIST FASCIST TRAITOR WITH CONTEMPT FOR THE US CONSTITUTION.

You are whining about the reconcilation. YOur denial is just you being a lying fucktard.

And spamming negs.


I ask again, who the **** are YOu to say jack about the decisions of the MEN that defeated the confederacy?

 

[Correll]

**** YOU, TRAITOR. GET OUT OF THE GOP, TRAITOR.

YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE, TRAITOR.

YOU ARE A TRAITOR, A ZIONIST FASCIST TRAITOR WITH CONTEMPT FOR THE US CONSTITUTION.

I don't know or care why you want to be a simp for HAMAS.

**** THE MUSLIMS.

Then GO MOVE TO ISRAEL, SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY COUNTRY YOU CARE ABOUT, TRAITOR.

YOU ARE NOT A REPUBLICAN
YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE

DO NOT CLAIM THAT YOU ARE WHEN YOU ARE NOT, BIGOTED LYING CONFEDERATE COWARD!!!

 

[EMH]

a proud descendant of those who slaughtered the living **** out of your treasonous ancestors...

I support reconciliation with the south
I don’t agree with how it was done and how it resulted in 100 years of oppression of blacks.

I don’t agree with southerners celebrating the most humiliating part of their heritage

I am warm towards the jews. I have known many over my life. I live near a healthy jewish community. Good neighbors.

The muslims look to be a plague on western civilization. **** them.


I have no respect for a people that would start a war wtih the intent of using their losing it, as a prop for idiots.

 

[Correll]

a proud descendant of those who slaughtered the living **** out of your treasonous ancestors...

No, you're not. YOu are ashamed of their behavior and actions. YOu are nitpicking their decisions and beliefs, CENTURIES after the fact.


So, that's a lie. And my point stands. They had the moral authority to make the decision how to heal the wounds of hte war. They made their call and we, their lucky decendants, have NO moral authority to renege on any of it.

 

[SeaMajor7]

The demented LEFT's war against history continues.
The road to vIcToRy.

So, invent a time machine, go back to 18... 60. Join the union army, help defeat the confederacy. IF your actions don't manage to lose the war. lol. HINT: don't repeal don't ask don't tell.


And then, when the policies and actions of reconciliation are being done, you can participate without being a whiny little girl. You will have paid your dues. Assuming you didn't die in the fighting.


Otherwise, it is a done deal and what you are doing now, is ******* with good people for not reason other than for you to be an asshole.

There is no such thing as a Time Machine, but my ancestors did fight for the Union

We can’t reverse what was done a century ago.
But we can refuse to honor a Confederacy which tore apart the Union and embraced slavery.

Naming military bases to honor those who killed our soldiers is an insult to those who died
Putting up memorials honoring those traitors who rebelled against our country to create a slave nation is an insult.
Proudly waving the Confederate flag is an insult

Trump supports them all

 

[Correll]

There is no such thing as a Time Machine, but my ancestors did fight for the Union

And afterward they buried the hatchet, and embraced their former foes back into the union.

Your desire to tear American apart, would disgust your ancestors.

Slavery is a part of our history. Demonizing it now, is really about demonizing AMERICA.

We have all noticed that the same people that are supposedly so upset about these confdereate memorials, are also the same anti-American leftards that hate everything that is good about America.

You aren't fooling anyone.

Naming military bases to honor those who killed our soldiers is an insult to those who died

No, it's not.

Putting up memorials honoring those traitors who rebelled against our country to create a slave nation is an insult.

No, it's not. YOu are lying. It is a celebration of regional pride and the heroism of those soliders.

That regional pride has been assimilated into the larger American Patriotism, many generations ago.


You know that. THat is really why you hate it. Because you hate America.

Proudly waving the Confederate flag is an insult

Nope. The Confederate Flag is an American Flag. That was the argument that the UNION made and they made it stick.

Trump supports them all

As do all good Americans.

 

[rightwinger]

And afterward they buried the hatchet, and embraced their former foes back into the union.

They did that by establishing blacks as second class citizens for the next 100 years

Not a proud part of our history

 

[rightwinger]

Slavery is a part of our history. Demonizing it now, is really about demonizing AMERICA.

As it should
Our embrace of slavery and denial of civil rights is not a proud part of our history

Everyone should know it

 

[martybegan]

The left isn't about it being known, the left is about using the "sins of the father" to beat down their political opposition.
