I would pray that Woodrow Wilson and FDR would be next. Glorifying Racists and people who create Internment camps is about as low as you can go.
Pikers, compared to out and out traitors. False equivalency at it's finest. That's all your side has is vapid rhetorical tricks to try and make an argument. Because there is no argument. Traitors are the lowest of the low in our country.
Uh, on. Imperial Japan bombed on the USA first. Do not try that false equivalency crap. This is just my opinion. I think you find the Confederates to be honorable, despite evidence that the Confederate cause was horrible. However, rather than defend it, the tactic is to use false equivalencies.
So you get to pick who the bad guys are/were? Because I would choose slavery over being burned alive.

I'd rather be burned alive than be a slave. Live Free or Die is my motto. Yes, I will pick who is hero and who is the bad guy. This is based on FACTS. The fact is, we were at war with Japan, a war that Japan started. Japan started is, the USA finished it. Confederates started a war so that they could keep enslaving people. The causes are not the same. You are using false equivalency. Prove me wrong. If you can't, then just admit that you side with the Confederates.
And that would be yet another false equivalency. You're on a roll, I'm gonna call you butter.
Yes, more false equivalency. You cannot compare Confederate soldiers to USA soldiers. The circumstances were different. The Confederate states were fighting to keep slavery. The US Marines were fighting against a nation that start a war with the USA. The Imperial Navy of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. We fought back. I dare any person to compare Confederate soldiers to the USMC of WWII.
That's exactly what it's about. The left can't handle reality or history. They live in a politically correct bubble where things that offend them must simply go away. The slavery era is being completely removed from history books in schools because the truth is too harsh for liberals. It's really pathetic
This has got to be the silliest and most untrue statement I've seen in a long time.
The African American community and their white allies won't EVER let us forget about slavery, the plantation system, Jim Crow laws. Removing it from history books????? Sheesh! Every single movie and TV production about that era is about the rehashing of slavery and Jim Crow. Now they are talking about reparations which seems ill-advised to me: no slaves are alive, no one alive remembers those days, the majority of American citizens are descended from immigrants who arrived here AFTER the Civil War and had no stake in slavery.
No, tailsock - the historical truth is not pretty: it was about human slavery and human trafficking, rape and sexual servitude, forced labor without compensation, theft and embezzlement. It was not about moonlight and magnolias and mint juleps. It was not about happy slaves playing the banjo for Massa and Missus.
Believe me ... the African American community will not ever let us forget about their enslaved ancestors.

Human rights abuses should never be forgotten. We cannot forget. History isn't pretty. I can agree with you on that. Some things need to be learned. Many times, we don't want to learn, because then we have to decide whether to do better or not.

I'm all for recognizing and learning from history. I don't think we need to elevate the wrong side to hero status.
So roundup all the japanese and german cars as they are a monument to hate, torture, antisemitism, racism and mass murder
Any dems here want to denounce the late sen byrd a former member of the KKK upper echelon. his name should be srticken from the rolls of legislators.
Being wrong in an argument is not grounds for removing from existence.
the hypersensitivity has to be taught. There is no consensus or natrual conclusion Robert E lee caused PTSD.
Basically what needs to be discusssed is the sudden dramatic cultural destruction induced by some splinter group and magnified by the media.
that discussion will never take place, as any opposition to the media's narrative will be charged with some newly minted racist term.
Not everyone thinks of slavery when they think of REL.
Dems and activists take a page from ISIs, taliban, communist bloc where culture is the first to be eliminated. Smacks of the mass murder of the Polish elite by Russian troops.
They may melt them down to make a peace memorial to appease the people.
