Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

[Nostra]

The Confederacy was an evil stain on our history
It deserves to be recognized as such

….by erasing it from history?

Your racist Dimwinger Cult wants to go back to your racist slave days.

 

[rightwinger]

How many statues have democrats removed or pushed to have removed?

If they honor the Confederacy…….not enough

 

[rightwinger]

Ok, and that’s fine, but it IS history, good or bad, but dems want to erase it. All I was suggesting is, if you want to do that, fine, but over time, people tend to forget about things when you place them out of sight.

I agree with you
The Civil War needs to be a major part of our history
But not by honoring the Confederacy

Why do some southern states honor the birthday of Robert E Lee while ignoring Martin Luther King?
Why monuments to Confederate leaders and not the freedom of the slaves?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Who’s honoring them? You do know you can portray history without honoring it. We have a memorial in Pearl Harbor, should we remove that too? Of course not. We have it there to remember.

But hey, I’m not going to argue with you about it, if you want to remove our history, put it out of sight and out of mind, have at it.

Yes, America has a really bad past, and you think the best way thing to do is to help people forget about what was done?

Only 2 states recognize Lee’s birthday, every state recognized MLK day.

Why monuments to Confederate leaders and not the freedom of the slaves?

We do have monuments to the freed slaves….

I have no problem in honoring the dead or recognizing Civil War battlefields. I have visited many Civil War battlefields and museums

I do have an issue with glamorizing the Confederacy or its heroes

I do not agree with naming US Army forts after Confederate Generals who fought against our country.

 

[rightwinger]

They are starting to show up but are often vandalized along with Civil Rights monuments
Not nearly comparable to the number of Confederate monuments

MLK Day: Instituted by Reagan.

Proves you are a racist.

Fine, rename the forts, but don’t try to bury the history.

Why? With your aversion to such things, what would bring you to tour such places with their sorted history?

 

[rightwinger]

Fine, rename the forts, but don’t try to bury the history.

NEVER bury our history of slavery and civil rights violations….it is part of our soul

But NEVER honor those who perpetrated those evil institutions

If you all keep removing the history, it will eventually be forgotten.

Cool. Forgetting the horror of slavery and treason would be great.

I never said remove our history did I ?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Cool. Forgetting the horror of slavery and treason would be great.

Really? I don’t think so. The stain on our history needs to be remembered as an example of what not to do.

Lefty’s are bent on removing statues and other monuments to our history. Even as bad as it is, it’s still our history and we don’t need to put out of sight.

They don't teach history in your world?

 

[ThisIsMe]

Yeah, we were taught history in school, and they are trying to change that too.

They want to repeat their racist history.
