why isnt the left demanding FDR statues be removed​

Maybe because FDR never took up arms against our country

Look at you still trying to push the narrative the statue nuttery is about traitors.

What else do you call those who take up arms against their country?

Our fellow Americans. That is sort of the point, isn't it?

Traitors

The vets that defeated the Confederacy disagreed. After the war we kissed and made up and lived happily ever after.

Well, until you modern lefties ran out of other wacism and had to invent some more.

I have asked you many times, what moral authority do you have that trumps those of those vets.

you have never answered.


I guess because you know that you are a pathetic, tiny man, pissing on the legacy of men that fought and bled for an idea(s) bigger than them and then forgave their enemies afterwards.

It is wrong of you, as a group, to renege on their acceptance of their former enemies.


Morally wrong.

The descendants of those Confederate vets erected statues without concern for the opinions of those who descended from the slaves of that Confederacy

Now, descendants are saying they don’t want those statues

That is a rejection of the promises made by THEIR forefathers who advocated and bled so that they could join and be accepted into the wider American Society.


The idea, the goal they, (and we) were always working towards was never unending confrontation, but integration and then living together in harmony and freedom.


Who are these children that want to piss on the dreams and aspirations of their ancestors?

They do not have the moral authority to do this either.


You are spoiled children tearing down the work of your fathers, not realizing that it is your inheritance that you are destroying.

You're a lying piece of shit, trying to rewrite the history of Jim Crow.

The statues weren't built to show that Southerners were interest in "integration" or "living together in harmony and freedom". Quite the contrary. By raising up statues of slave owners and oppressors, and leaders of the Confederate South, the statues were raised up during the Jim Crow era to remind black Southerners that although slavery was gone, they were not equal.

The raising of the statues coincided with laws limiting black voting, black ownership of property, and the re-emergence of the KKK. The statues were a daily reminder to black people of the oppression they lived under, and if they dared to get to "uppity", there would be consequences.

The "children" of the formers slaves are damn Skippy about taking down the statues of the rapists who are their grandparents, and great grandparents. Try reading this Daughter of the South's reasons for wanting the statues gone:

... ... ... it was design for two reason to keep republicans finding them on the street and beat the life out of them ... ..

I'm sure someone out there doesn't like you. How do you feel about being thrown into a concentration camp for a few years - just for your own good? Be packed and ready to go by tomorrow morning. If you try to escape from the concentration camp you will be shot, but don't complain because at least we aren't "marching you to the gas chamber."

Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense.....

The only times innocent Americans have been thrown into concentration camps have been under democrat regimes.

Not true. The USA has a long sad history of abuse of non-white peoples.

Native Americans who survived the Indian Wars, were rounding up and forceably marched to their new "reservations". It's called the "Trail of Tears"

Trail of Tears: Definition, Date & Cherokee Nation | HISTORY

The Trail of Tears was the deadly route used by Native Americans when forced off their ancestral lands and into Oklahoma by the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

www.history.com

Then there was the removal of the "Chinese Guest Workers", the Japanese Internment and one hundred years of segregation and Jim Crow. While black Americans weren't kept in concentration camps, they were housed in ghettos, and barred from buying property in white neighbourhoods.
.....

Apparently, the special of the day at Café Illogical is Red Herring.

I did not claim that it was. Are you really so retarded that you cannot see whom I was referring to by the structure of my sentences and context?

Why isn't the left abandoning the Party of Slavery - the Democratic Party?

The Party of slavery ended in humiliating defeat in 1865. In 1877 like the Phoenix, it started its' rise from the ashes and became the party of James Crow. That lasted until the Northern coalition of Dems and Reps defeated the South again with the Civil rights act of 1964. What rose from the ashes of that defeat became the Republicans we have today.

soooo i guess you are inferring about the so called big switch lie again where dems [the party of the klan] switched over to the republican party ? soooo i guess youre saying that FDR would be a republican today right ?

No really a big switch. More like a slow migration. The voters in the South continued to support their Democrat Congressmen. Once they started to retire the ground was fertile for a GOP pick up.

Murdering our citizens in concentration camps is worse.

Nobody was murdered

Every death in the camps was a murder.

FDR kept us safe

There were no further attacks against America

You mean he put America first?

12 July 1944- Theodore Roosevelt Jr dies of a heart attack in France almost a month after landing on Utah Beach in the first wave of the D-DAY landings there. He was known to have both heart and arthritis issues prior to his WW2 service.
Roosevelt was the only general on D-Day to land by sea with the first wave of troops. At 56, he was the oldest man in the invasion, and the only one whose son also landed that day; Captain Quentin Roosevelt II was among the first wave of soldiers at Omaha Beach.
Brigadier General Roosevelt was one of the first soldiers, along with Captain Leonard T. Schroeder Jr., off his landing craft as he led the 8th Infantry Regiment and 70th Tank Battalion landing at Utah Beach. Roosevelt was soon informed that the landing craft had drifted south of their objective, and the first wave of men was a mile off course. Walking with the aid of a cane and carrying a pistol, he personally made a reconnaissance of the area immediately to the rear of the beach to locate the causeways that were to be used for the advance inland. He returned to the point of landing and contacted the commanders of the two battalions, Lieutenant Colonels Conrad C. Simmons and Carlton O. MacNeely, and coordinated the attack on the enemy positions confronting them. Opting to fight from where they had landed rather than trying to move to their assigned positions, Roosevelt's famous words were, "We'll start the war from right here!"
These impromptu plans worked with complete success and little confusion. With artillery landing close by, each follow-on regiment was personally welcomed on the beach by a cool, calm, and collected Roosevelt, who inspired all with humor and confidence, reciting poetry and telling anecdotes of his father to steady the nerves of his men. Roosevelt pointed almost every regiment to its changed objective. Sometimes he worked under fire as a self-appointed traffic cop, untangling traffic jams of trucks and tanks all struggling to get inland and off the beach.
By modifying his division's original plan on the beach, Roosevelt enabled its troops to achieve their mission objectives by coming ashore and attacking north behind the beach toward its original objective. Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic action he had ever seen in combat. He replied, "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
Roosevelt was originally recommended for the Distinguished Service Cross by General Barton. The recommendation was upgraded at higher headquarters to the Medal of Honor, which was approved, and which Roosevelt was posthumously awarded on 21 September 1944.
"For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After two verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt's written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France."
