Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[BrokeLoser]

Poor Hegseth.

Like his slaver traitor heroes, he will go down in history as a white supremacist. But unlike his slaver traitor heroes, he will go down with no accomplishments whatsoever.

Confederates are the real American badasses…Imagine how amazing the U.S. would be today if they won?

Nice try Skippy

But that “peculiar institution” in the south predated the formation of the Democratic Party by 200 years

But that “peculiar institution”

what "peculiar institution"?

Confederates are the real American badasses

Confederates were traitors who declared themselves NOT American and who fought against the army of the United States of America.

You can pardon a known murderer, too. Did he still not murder someone? He did.

Also, it's quite a leap from, "A pardon", to, "Honoring you with a statue."

Negative…they were real American badasses who took up arms against the same type of oppressive government they fled a century before.
**** LINCOLN.

So you were mourning elderly dudes who survived the war? Jesus that’s stupid. Wanna bet how racist those “heroes” were?

We won. That means we get to tell them their cause wasn’t just. Because it wasn’t. That should be obvious even to hacks like you.

They were Americans.

You can make the argument it is glorifying the Confederacy, or you can simply say it is a historical monument that is indicative of another time and attitudes that do not correspond to those found today.

You don't need to freak out and demand it be melted for scrap, you can view it all objectively without having to attach your personal opinion/feelings to anything inscribed on it.

It needs to be taken down. The Confederacy was not America. It was a different nation that waged war against America and lost. I haven't seen any monuments to the Japanese Army, the German Army, the British Army, or any other nation that opposed America in a war.

They were not American. And they got their asses kicked.

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

What's next? Statues of hitler?

Leave history alone. You can't change it.

How do you backwards-ass twisted libs feel about monuments of raping/murderous Conquistadors?

We have two slave owners on Mt. Rushmore. What are you going to do about that?

 

[braalian]

Union or confederate they should be honored.

We don’t honor enemy/traitor soldiers

he'll want to replace them with Martin Luther King, and Malcom X

Do you really mean free-thinking brave core Americans who refuse to bow to an oppressive tyrannical Father Government?

No, I mean traitors and enemies to the United States of America. That’s exactly what they were, by definition

Congress happens on both sides of the aisle.

Unfortunately most epublicans cannot see the obvious.Or simply refuse to believe it.
