Which Date Would You Honor?

[my2¢]

A county seat is named after him here in NW Ohio. He really got around.

I never knew of that connection. In my college days I often passed through town on US 6 as I made my way to BGSU.

Of course I would honor Fremont over Forrest, being a matter of liberal versus conservative back in the day.

The OP celebrates May 1st, also known as known as the Day of the International Solidarity of Workers.

Let's remind all of how lacking in education you are.


May Day.....the holiday of Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini.



Government school, an arm of the Left, attempts to pretend that there is even a 1° of difference between Communism and Nazism, or Fascism.

There isn't.

Those three and these three....Liberalism, Progressivism, and Socialism, all have the very same collectivist, statist aim for society.

The celebration of May Day gives a clue.

On this day in 1889, May Day—traditionally a celebration of the return of spring, marked by dancing around a Maypole—was first observed as a labour holiday, designated as such by the International Socialist Congress.
Britannica.com




One of those interesting facts that helps verify that Hitler was as much a Leftist as Stalin is that Hitler made MayDay his Nazi holiday, too.

The Nazis sought to gain support of workers by declaring May Day, a day celebrated by organized labour, to be a paid holiday and held celebrations on 1 May 1933 to honour German workers Life and Death in the Third ReichFirst Edition Edition
byPeter Fritzsche p. 45


The regime also insisted through propaganda that all Germans take part in the May Day celebrations in the hope that this would help break down class hostility between workers and burghers.[13]Songs in praise of labour and workers were played by state radio throughout May Day as well as an airshow in Berlin and fireworks.[13]Hitler spoke of workers as patriots who had built Germany's industrial strength and had honourably served in the war and claimed that they had been oppressed undereconomic liberalism.[14]Berliner Morgenpostthat had been strongly associated with the political left in the past praised the regime's May Day celebrations.[14]
Volksgemeinschaft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Here's Stalin's version....






And here, Communists and Fascists, together.




Stalin helped Mussolini set up his May Day celebration...

'The youngest prime minister in Italian history,....Mussolini was showered with accolades from sundry quarters.... Stalin supplied Mussolini with the plans of the May Day parades in Red Square,to help him polish up his Fascist pageants....He conquered Ethiopia, madea Pact of Steel with Germany, introduced anti-Jewish measures in 1938,came into the war as Hitler's very junior partner,..." The Mystery of Fascism by David Ramsay Steele



Socialist, fascists, Nazis, communists......Leftist all.
As are Progressives and Modern Liberals.





Really put your foot in your mouth,. huh?

Correct, and sweet as always.

Just as Hitler, Mussolini was also a socialist, who deviated from international socialism to fascism. FDR's 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act and its National Recovery Agency were modeled on Fascist Italy (the Blue Eagle thugs - struck down by the Supreme Court, nine votes to zero, in 1935). The National Industrial Recovery Act was widely recognized across the political spectrum at the time as a fascist project.

Contrary to the mythology it spread, Fascist Italy was not an economic success in the 1930s, and the “New Deal” (which was based upon in it) was not an economic success in the United States either. The massive government intervention actually started under President Herbert “The Forgotten Progressive” Hoover, and was continued and expanded under President Roosevelt. The United States had many massive credit bubble collapses from 1819 to 1921, and in each case the economy quickly recovered. But the credit bubble collapse of 1929 was not followed by a quick recovery, indeed ten years later the United States was still an economic mess with mass unemployment, thanks to the interventionist policies of both President Hoover and then President Roosevelt that prevented recovery for year after year.

When asked back then, FDR told reporters that he wasn’t a socialist, and that he wasn’t a capitalist. His policies were, however modeled after policies of Il Duce Benito Mussolini, the father of fascism. FDR’s own Interior Secretary Harold Ickes said: “What we are doing in this country are some of the same things that are being done in Russia and even some things that are being done in Hitler’s Germany.”

FDR wanted to swim with the other sharks.
He was a wannabe dictator, and came mighty close.


His view of the Constitution was the give-away.

In July 5, 1935, in a letter to Representative Samuel B. Hill of Washington, the President manifested his contempt for the Constitution. Hill was chairman of the subcommittee studying the Guffey-Vinson bill to regulate the coal industry: the purpose of the legislation was to re-establish, for the coal industry, the NRA code system which the Supreme Court had unanimously declared unconstitutional. Roosevelt wrote: "I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however reasonable, to block the legislation.

This was the same Roosevelt who had sworn an oath on his 300 year old family Bible, to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p. 65.

In Communism industries are nationalized in the typical "we take it from you" socialist way. Mussolini’s fascism was corporatism, or state-run capitalism. FDR regarded the NRA as the most important of his New Deal programs, directly modeled on Italian fascism. It empowered the federal government to establish coalitions of labor and management in every industry to set production targets, wages, prices and even maximum and minimum working hours. These arrangements would be reviewed by a government run Industrial Advisory Board answerable to FDR himself.

The NRA was designed to as they said "eliminate the anarchy of the competitive system". Just as fascist had their propaganda pamphlet “The Structure of the Corporate State,” FDR's NRA issued their own brochure titled “Capitalism and Labor Under Fascism” which acknowledged that the fascist principles are very similar to those which have been evolving FDR's principles.

FDR's biggest problem at the time is that individual entrepreneurs, such as Will Kellogg and Henry Ford, refused to sign on his policies. They were threatened by boycott’s. They were threatened by unions, and they were threatened by Roosevelt who made it clear that refusal to endorse NRA codes would mean that businesses would be denied government contracts, which was flat out unconstitutional. But as one historian put it, the Blue Eagle campaign was based on "voluntary cooperation", but those who did not volunteer to cooperate were to be forced into participation. It's the exactly the same thing that today's socialists are doing.

In 1933, Americans who did not publicly support the Blue Eagle campaign invited the threat of social ostracism or economic boycott. Germans who in the Autumn of that same year did not hang swastikas from their windows, greet their fellow citizens with “Heil Hitler,” or wear an emblem on their lapels identifying them as Winter Relief contributors could expect to receive significantly more severe form of punishment. Nonetheless, it is impossible to ignore the similarity in approach for encouraging conformity. Today's fascists are compelling you to write "black lives matter" on your street, or on your car, and to submit to their will, or you will be punished, and your business destroyed.

How long will Americans put up with this outrage?

I guess Trump and the GOP, especially the GOP in Tennessee, are just being kind to the Dems when they keep putting up barriers to the removal of monuments to Forrest and other Confederate warriors.

Why does anybody attack a statue of a SOLDIER ?

Hitler was a soldier, would you object to a statue of him in your town?

Lenin was a soldier, why does Seattle have a statue of him in their town?

To be correct, Lenin was not a soldier. As a "revolutionary" he did wore an uniform, but he was never trained in any armed forces.

Why his statue in Seattle?

Well... Lenin started his political activism as a Social-Democrat, then evolved into socialist and communist. Seattle's Social-Democrats are trying to replicate his steps.

The Lenin statue in Seattle is privately owned and is on private land. It was to be sold but the sale fell through and is awaiting a buyer. The city of Seattle has no say in the matter. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative.

Seattle is run by "Summer of Love" communist mayor Jenny "Dunce" Durkan. Sure they have a statue of Lenin. Probably have one of Marx and Mao too.

I'd be surprised if there weren't statues of all 3 of these guys, in every Democrat city in America.

Today is a significant date in the life for two luminaries of their political party.....one Republican, one Democrat.

1. John C. Frémont, in full John Charles Frémont, (born January 21, 1813, Savannah, Georgia, U.S.—died July 13, 1890, New York, New York), American military officer and an early explorer and mapmaker of the American West, who was one of the principal figures in opening up that region to settlement and was instrumental in the U.S. conquest and development of California. He was also a politician who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. presidency in 1856 as the first candidate of the newly formed Republican Party.

The very first candidate for the party formed for the specific purpose of ending slavery in the United States.






2. Nathan Bedford Forrest, (born July 13, 1821, near Chapel Hill, Tennessee, U.S.—died October 29, 1877, Memphis, Tennessee), Confederate cavalry commander in the American Civil War (1861–65) who was often described as a “born military genius.” His rule of action, “Get there first with the most men,” became one of the most often quoted statements of the war. Forrest is also one of the most controversial figures from the Civil War era. His command was responsible for the massacre of African American Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, in April 1864, and he served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the early years of Reconstruction.

On Demcember 24, 1865, Forrest formed the military arm of the Democrat Party, the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan.

In his honor, Hollywood used his name and family association for the film, Forrest Gump.

Bullshit.

Forrest (a) had nothing to do with the founding of the Klan, which (b) wasn't a political entity, and (c) the Fort Pillow massacre story is apocryphal and unsubstantiated.

Forrest did however dissolve the Ku Klux Klan in January of 1869, citing its rampant uncontrollable violence, ordering its regalia and symbology to be destroyed forever.

Forrest also advocated for systems to educate newly-freed slaves so they could fend for themselves, volunteered his services to the Tennessee governor to prosecute some local slime who had committed racial assaults, and went (by invitation) to speak to the Independent Order of Pole Bearers, the black civil rights organization of its time (1875) where he committed the controversial act of kissing a black woman who had presented him with a bouquet of flowers.

Matter of fact, when the Klan was first founded in 1865, it was in a time and place where your Democratic Party bugaboo, didn't even exist. And Forrest was not there.

Good luck finding a board some day where those who know your bullshit when they see it and don't hesitate to call it out for the bullshit it is, don't or can't do so. This is not one of them.

I won't be taking my children to her films any longer.

I have already cancelled my account with Amazon - contributor to Black Lives Matter. BTW, why isn't everyone in BLM arrested for sedition and/or treason ?

Uh, prolly because the Constitution specifically affirms that black lives DO matter.

Man that was easy. What do I win? A sammich?

It's always easy to come up with something, when you ignore reality, and post obvious bullshit. No, the constitution does NOT say one word about black lives, or black anything.

What it does say is, the laws of the United States are supreme over all else, and that includes sedition and treason, both of which BLM violates constantly, in addition to rioting, looting, attacking conservatives and cops, blocking traffic, vandalizing statues, etc

To wit:

Amendment XV. Check me.

That means that black lives matter, white lives matter, yellow lives matter even (gasp) red lives matter, all equally. It does not however mean orange lives matter, as orange is not a race.

 

[whitehall]

Fremont was the first republican nominated to run for president. N.B. Forrest, like most KKK members, was a democrat.
