You know you see what really matters to these folks don’t you
A need to fee morally l superior
They are the new church ladies in this post Christian culture
I’m as you know in a black city right now that is arguably my favorite in America
There is a serious move underfoot to remove any vestige of any historical white person who could be deemed racist for whatever reason no matter how crazy the notion
They even have an acronym for the standards they are setting
And I mean they wish to basically remove all white reference including Lincoln for his documented racist comments and his emancipation which didn’t emancipate much at the time except as a political statement.....This local Sharpton actually is critical of Lincoln as a racist
I’ve yet to see Butler on the list
But it goes from DeSoto to Iberville to all white southerners and founders of the United States to relatively modern whites like Paul Tulane and yes Ronald Reagan
As well as remove any confederate symbolism from museums and now they are targeting white generals from WWII who they claim were segregationists
It’s insanity
The New Orleans Committee of Public Safety.......that was a joke....will anyone get it
These freepers who live to beat on our heritage are naive as to what’s at stake and we’ve tried to tell them for 17 years so they must be truly stupid
And they are intellectually dishonest
Like it’s as simple as democrats and republicans bad and good since forever respectively
That is simpleton logic
Look a their precious GOP right now....they are Trumps biggest obstacle
And this political correctness has made us so weak for a real enemy who wishes to annihilate us
If you’re kissing the ring of political correctness you are part of the problem
Doesn’t matter how much unearned virtue you cling to
The battle lines are forming.

You’re standing on the prow of an ocean liner cutting through the icy waters of the North Atlantic. A huge iceberg looms dead ahead. You’ve seen it for some time, but now it’s too close, and the liner too big and fast, to avoid the collision. You quietly make your way to the lifeboats, knowing they’re the only chance for saving yourself and your loved ones. Below decks, an orchestra plays a waltz and oblivious revelers dance.
Most people don’t foresee the world’s inevitable collision with the iceberg of unsustainable fantasy. When it happens, they’ll respond predictably, with panic and cowardice. Those who’ve seen it coming and moved to the lifeboats will experience their own roiling emotions, attenuated by recognition of the logic behind the disaster. While the forewarned have dreaded impact, many will also welcome it, in the way one welcomes an unpleasant medical procedure: let’s get it over with. The motive is not malice, but conviction born of experience that actions have consequences and there’s no escaping them. After seemingly inexplicable and interminable delay, consequences shall arrive, amplified by the tawdry stratagems that promoted delay.
It will come as a surprise to many, but governments cannot suspend reality. Their arsenal, when things break down, comes down to their arsenal: the capacity to coerce. Violence or its threat enables governments to exact compliance. Proponents of government power invariably see themselves exercising it. Once the ship hits the iceberg, it will be obvious that governments’ guns are not wands, freeing citizens from the necessity of producing as much or more than they consume. They cannot compel innovators to innovate or producers to produce. While coercive power comes from one end of a gun, none of the powers that produce progress (and the gun) magically materialize at the other end.
It is said that America is a society divided. True enough, but the important question is: along what lines? Crisis and social breakdown will provide clarification: it’s governments and their beneficiaries versus producers. In other words, those who don’t do useful things versus those who do. (more at link)
Virtue signalling a major sacrament of this church. John Brown a prophet. Abe the messiah. The north the holy land. Infidels not paying obeisance deserving of slaughter and the last vestiges of their evil culture consigned to destruction and fire. The same for their wicked progeny.
Pardon my shorthand, I took notes as fast as a I could. Did I get the lesson right?
Pelham: Didn’t George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and a host of others do exactly that? "
Wardaddy:" You know you see what really matters to these folks don’t you. A need to fee morally l superior "
Naw, it's not "moral superiority", it's a simple desire to keep the historical record accurate against a seemingly endless supply of Lost Cause mythologizers.
As for what, exactly, Appomattox showed, more precisely it's the following:
