A little bit OT, but there should, instead, be a World War between Those Who Are For Political Correctness And For Leftist Politics against Those Who Are Against Political Correctness And Against Leftist Politics!

The left’s crusade against reminders of the war fought to unify all people in our nation seems self defeating.

The war was fought, the outcome was in the slaves’ favor, and for some stupid reason the left wants to fight the war again and erase the historical record of our nation's success.

Our nation's monuments are markers of context, not worship. Slavery and our strength in defeating it can't exist if its record is expunged. Grants victory doesn't exist when Lee's presence is eliminated. Citizens who know their history are not offended by the presence of the reminders of who and what we fought for -- or against.

For the past decade we are simply witnessing ignorant, selfish, misguided punks, paid by wealthy agitators to foment a violent uprising in order to cover up the existence of a shadow government intent on destroying the voice of reason, unity, and law & order using false racism as a vehicle to achieve a global assassination of one of the most truly progressive nations to ever exist.

Every day, with every scheming step, the left forces a very passive, quiet, patient, exceedingly-tolerant, family oriented, self-motivated, hard working, private, freedom-loving, lawful, intelligent populous to divert their attention from their peaceful lives and acknowledge the escalating threat the leftist shenanigans pose to our nation's existence. Only fools would ignore our history in thinking that's a good idea.

This is a text book example of cucking. Shame on the author for being such a coward. What would his ancestors think?

Firs they got Academia, then they got the News Media, and now they are going after the churches.

Eliminate the Communist theologians, news editors and educators and we are back safe.

it was to preserve the union and the question of whether a state had a right to secede. Lincoln early on saw that we could not put the union back together the way it was. Slaves were voting with their feet and became contraband of war. They were being used by the south in support of their war effort. This eventually evolved into the realization that for the union to come back together slavery had to go. It truly became a second American revolution.

But you cannot escape the simple fact....no slavery....no secession and no secession...no civil war.

That’s not all it is. It’s just one more way to diss America. Today it’s the confederate statues, tomorrow it’ll be Washington, Jefferson, and any other person we might think worthy.

These leftist want to totally destroy the family, the churches, and the ethic behind our government and denigrate the founding fathers as evil.

There will never be a stopping point, and any old excuse will do. We are supposed to have freedom and the 10th amendment in this country, so I really don’t care what other states, counties, and towns do in their jurisdiction.

I know this, the guy who said that we should take down the statues for National Security, because there could be violence is a panderer to violent people, and is blaming inantimate objects for what violent people will do.

The best thing is to send a message that violence won’t be tolerated, and nothing will be done except what voters of the region want to do. Put it to a vote, and the loser can just shut up about it.

I’m sick and tired of a few radicals dictating what the rest of us have to do. Sick and tired of stupid stuff like boys allowed to use girls bathrooms. Sorry, but these people live in an alternate universe, and one that isn’t at all logical.

You know I watched a meeting of the Texas Curriculum group a few years ago. The liberals got very hostile, because their idea to limit USA history to something like 1950 going forward. They said anything earlier was irrelevant.

So that’s what I think, they just want to purge the history and purpose of the USA system from everything so that any of our ideals are irrelevant, and they are going to keep on tearing down and changing stuff, till all we have left is their Marxist Dream Utopia Bizarro world, where down is up, green is red, and good is evil.

The War Between the States was not STARTED with the intent of freeing the slaves. It simply wasn’t. As Lincoln clearly stated before and during the war, the goal was to preserve the union. This is important because way too many people today believe the north took up some grand crusade to free slaves. They did not. Period. That was a final outcome, to be sure. But Lincoln nor Congress ever expressed a goal of making war with the Confederacy as being to free slaves. Not in the beginning.

OK, so that was the Union motivation and I don't see anything to dispute there. So now what was the South's motivation?

Why did it take until 2017 for Confederate monuments to suddenly become offensive?

It's been going on for years. Remember all the hoopla about Confederate flags flying and being part of state flags? First it was the flags, and they got rid of those. Now it's statues. When they manage to ban all of those then they'll find something else to be aggrieved about.

But we see that argument expressed quite often by those who, for whatever reason, feel the need to continue reenacting Civil War battles...

Has this guy ever been to a restoration village, such as Jamestown or historic museum houses, where people dress up in the clothing of the times?

Should we stop making history "real" for the generations to come?

That was their goal. The question was what was their motivation?
