Should we destroy the statues of Sitting Bull, the Crazy Horse Memorial? Because they fought wars against our soldiers and murdered innocent women and children.

Explain to me the difference.

It is comparable to trying to make a thimble hold a gallon of water. It can't be done. Perhaps you should read some history and figure it out for yourself.


Here is one hint to get you started: the Crazy Horse Monument is being carved out on privately held land.


Next, read Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown.

NO, the argument is that the Confederates were the enemy of the United States. I have news for you, so were the Native Americans. The European settlers fought them for 200 years until finally beating them into submission.

So why should their memorials remain? Seems to me to be the same exact issue. Honoring a fallen enemy.

The difference is you don't understand history, therefore your question is null and void.

First understand history before you start a ridiculous thread like this one. Thanks.

Because liberals like one and despise the other, of course.

I can't believe this is even a thread and you don't understand the difference.

Liberals are also enamored of the Vietcong and North Vietnam which murdered American soldiers, tortured American POWs and kept American POWs after the war to be worked to death in their labor camps yet liberals like Jane Fonda took pleasure in supporting them.

I wouldn't be surprised if deep down some on the left support ISIS and North Korea.

Murdered American soldiers? LMAO. Vietnam didn't invade the US. The US invaded Vietnam. They were defending themselves from an unprovoked and illegal foreign invasion. Just as Iraqis defended themselves against the unprovoked American invasion of Iraq an invasion that was based purely on lies. The US invasion of Iraq completely destabilized the Middle East and lead to the creation of ISIS of which the criminal Bush/Cheney administration are directly responsible for.
