It’s time we face facts. What is being attempted in this country is an ISIS-style takeover. They are trying to “fundamentally change” (where have I heard those words before), the country from within. Destroy authority — all Police are racist, right? Destroy all symbols of the “old” country that exist. Pre-Civil War & Civil War history? Gone. Doesn’t exist anymore. Divide and conquer, just like the Sunnis and the Kurds in Iraq. They are attempting to take over the country using ISIS tactics.
I, for maybe one, am tired of 13% of this country's population calling the shots and calling everyone names.
Hey - I don't care a flip about your being offended. I don't feel guilty that slavery was part of this country's history - as it was in most of the world and still is in many parts.
I DON'T CARE! IT'S HISTORY! GET OVER IT!
Now get off your high horse and get a constructive job
There simply is no response strong enough to express my anger and distaste fir political correctness.
well, Salon is the site that supports pedophilia.
Not for lack of trying.
We are all “neo-Confederates” now. Our history is uniquely that of America, warts and all, and hypersensitivity about what occurred 400, or 250, or 150, or 70 years ago is entirely misplaced. We are what we are, and that is founded in hard-won experience. Even the negative aspects of our past are instructive today, if they are studied without frenzied passion or baseless scorn, if for no other reason than to say, we are better now than we were then. And to move the recognition of the times step by step in its logical procession from making the mistakes, recognizing them, and taking corrective steps, sometimes faltering (this is new territory, after all), but always with the eye on the prize. Human beings are faulty, sometimes unnecessarily so, but on average, the true advancement of mankind proceeds from generation to generation, so long as it does not keep on going down roads where we have been before, only to learn they were dead ends.
Rewriting history never ends well. Especially when some very cogent and compelling facts are left out, or deliberately misinterpreted.
From a staff ride with a group of fellow officers to Antietam, I think I recall reading that the locals around Sharpsburg were actually not cooperative with Lee at all.
I love it when the left does a full reveal and over plays their hand. They do it every time.
What the Left would really like to see is genocide against white people. Since the country isn’t to that point (yet), they have to content themselves with tearing down symbols the Left correctly believes are dear to white people. Of course, the fools believe left-wing whites would be excluded from genocide, but that won’t happen if it ever gets to the point that genocide actually occurs.
Liberals consider Western nationalism in and of itself racist, oppressive, evil. Hence the hatred of any Western nationalism, equating American pride with nazism and white supremacy.
But if you’re any other ethnic group and proud of your ancestry, they demand everyone else celebrate it.
That built in double standard per the social justice victimhood stack is how white kids in the U.S. can be punished for racism and incitement to violence for wearing American flag garb in public schools on Cinco de Mayo.
His first name’s JEFFERSON?
obviously a racist
This is a great article! I think this guy should be the chief speech writer for the next DemocRAT Party Presidential nominee!
