Aniconism is the avoidance of images of sentient beings in some forms of Islamic art. Islamic aniconism stems in part from the prohibition of idolatry and in part from the belief that creation of living forms is God’s prerogative.
Maybe this is where they want to go.
This project has been four decades in the making.
I was a college student majoring in history in the early 80’s when everyone in our faculty lounge began having daily orgasms over Howard Zinn. His damned book is the Rosetta Stone of this entire problem.
1. They weren’t Traitors. The union is voluntary and is based on consent.
2. What they were doing was EXACTLY what their fathers and grandfathers had done a few generations earlier.....Lee’s Father was Lighthorse Harry Lee (one of Washington’s top Lieutenants). Jefferson Davis’ father fought in the Continental Army. Most of their footsoldiers were the grandsons of the 1776 secessionists.
3. You Neocons who joined in with the PCers in attacking Southern history and culture and the rest of the “conservative” cowards who silently went along with it were complete idiots if you believed for one second that they would not move on to Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Patrick Henry, the Stars and Stripes, etc etc etc.
It was obvious they would. For the last 30 years we told you so. You didn’t have to be Nostradamus to see it coming.
I admit, I have very mixed feelings now that they’ve moved on to Columbus, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Grant, Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt, the Stars and Stripes, etc. I know several of my Southern friends who hate everything the left stands for also can’t help but feel ..vindicated....a tinge of schadenfreude. We told you so.
It’s a Cultural Revolution.
“Confederates were traitors who fought for slavery.Which, of course they were.”
Yes, there is no better way to argue with Marxists and Bolsheviks than to concede to their chief deception right at the onset.
BLM, Antifa and the other Marxists eagerly working on destroying our country like to point out that many other countries don’t have monuments honoring the losers of their Civil Wars. They never mention that this is why those countries have one civil war after another.
“...daily orgasms over Howard Zinn. His damned book is the Rosetta Stone of this entire problem.”
Same here with college students working for the summer in a big box retailer I worked for. I had never heard of him. They were rabid Zinnsters. My first thoughts were about the power of indoctrination in the universities.
To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I was reading Solzhenitsyn is college in the early ‘70’s. These kids were professed on reading Zinn. Who would be a more credible source. None of them I talked to had ever heard of Solzhenitsyn.
We don’t accept it. It’s why we have Trump in the White House. We are also up against academia, including elementary through high school, therefore many of our kids, the media- from news to entertainment, corporations, politicians of both parties in all branches including the gop led senate as well as the judiciary, wherein the chief who was appointed to be conservative is now liberal, and the government - intel, the state dept, and now the military with former generals demonstrating to the troops that it Is ok to openly defy with contempt the commander in chief
So. Instead of the long winded article could we have either some good news or perhaps a little instruction as to how we are to do that. Now we are starting to hear open contempt for the president at our workplaces.
IMHO as a society we really dropped the ball when we stopped talking about all things Soviet after the wall came down in Berlin. We now have two generations who have absorbed absolutely NONE of those lessons.
Consider: when the mob moves from destroying art honoring things moderates used to say they liked to destroying moderates themselves, will we feel any sense of obligation to protect the moderates?
Yeah; I guess we will have to. Part of the high cost of remaining human.
‘Conservatives don’t need to confirm them in this phantasmagoria.’
I don’t engage in such fantasies; I thought Lowry’s argument was nonsense...no statuary anywhere here is the US should be vandalised and pulled down, with or without the tacit agreement of the ‘authorities’...
I am a rock ribbed Yankee by some people’s standards; I am glad the Union was not ripped apart, because the loss of the southern states would have been a devastating blow; the loss of those same states heritages today through the actions of illiterate idiots is no less devastating...
But John Oliver..another smarmy smug mediot laughed and the clapping seals in his audience giggled at the video of Trump predicting this...
Never trust a SIMP liberal man, they are the worst of us.
You cannot judge history based on todays current mindset. The history of the past cannot be removed from the context of the past it happened in. Just as when the media parses sentences of a speech to support their agenda.
History is the lesson of learning. If you remove or ignore your history, you have learned nothing and remain ignorant and stupid (like most liberals).
“Shouldn’t” ???? What a STUPID headline.
Tell a Liberal that Slavery was not the reason the Civil War erupted and watch their Eyes bleed.
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.That’s Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 of the Confederate constitution.
And your point is?
If you have to ask, you cannot get it, perhaps.
I agree. For over 150 years they've been saying the civil war was fought over slavery, and this is just incorrect.
They say these things for political advantage. It is always about the acquisition of power.
