History defines who we are as a nation, love it, hate it, but learn from it. Liberals have no reason to speak out about Confederate monuments.
They became even more aggressive and started to destroy Confederate monuments!
The current monuments throughout the country of both the union and confederacy layout an important time in history for our great nation, it provides the stories and timeline of what took place and why we separated as a nation.
It also reminds us of the sacrifices all Americans made, and it brings to life the African American heroes of the civil war such as John Lawson, Robert Caillox, Robert Smalls, William H Carney, Aron Anderson who was given the Medal of Honor, Powhatan Beaty, Alexander Thomas Augusta, Miles James and let’s not forget Harriot Tubman, is it really a good idea to erase our nation’s history, if we do it’s only a matter of time before great men and woman I mentioned will be forgotten.
How many of us really heard of these people, when I was a kid my mother insisted on visiting Civil War Historical places on family vacations so we would learn of the struggles our growing nation went through.
But it seems that liberals are not proud of their American history.
Yesterday Task and Purpose first broke the story that the Marine commander decided to remove all Confederate symbols from the corps installations.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger ordered that all signs of marine involvement in the Confederation be erased. On Wednesday, his spokesman confirmed this information on his twitter.
“Direct the removal of all Confederate-related paraphernalia from Marine CorpsInstallations,” posted Military Analyst B. A. Friedman on Twitter.

Task & Purpose, referring to the words of Berger’s spokesman reported that this directive has already been sent to senior management.
“Last week, the Commandant of the Marine Corps directed specific tasks be reviewed or addressed by Headquarters Marine Corps staff,” Maj. Eric Flanagan said in an email. “Many of the tasks were published on Twitter Friday. Other tasks not published previously are mostly administrative matters.”
To date, it is not known exactly when the Marine Corps is going to fulfill this order. Additional information will be announced on Friday.
There are several military bases named after confederate generals. Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, Fort Pickett (of Pickett’s Charge fame), Fort Polk. I’m sure there is a couple more.
What happens with the names of these bases?
Also, this problem is nothing new.
In 2016 Anthony Bauswell, said he was turned away because of his confederate flag tattoo. The Marine Corps confirmed that a man was told his tattoo of a Confederate flag made him ineligible to join the Marines because it violates the service’s policy on body ink.
“These Confederate flag tattoos have been denied in the past,” said Capt. Dustin Pratico, a spokesman for the 8th Recruiting District. “It’s a not new thing. This isn’t the first time that it’s ever happened. This is just one of the times it happened to catch media attention.”
It’s all by design from the left since about 50 years ago, a slow and steady process to indoctrinate our youth into adults to accept a fundamental change to our republic.
It is time to take education away from the unions and the federal government. It’s been nothing but a screw up for decades. Let’s not forget the historic moment when 5th Marines took Shuri Castle on Okinawa they raised the Confederate battle flag.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.
You know I'm not saying other wise.
I'm just telling you, there are a lot of blacks, people who don't wear Malcolm X shirts or even get into politics at all, that fear the CBF.
I just think we should be aware and help educate.
The other thing I like to say in reply to this is that Jim Crow has been dead for over 50 years.
Is it possible for all of us to keep our history but still live together as neighbors and friends in the South?
They all agree to this.
Now, understand, I'm talking to normal, non-radical, intelligent black people.
More over, given all the other positions these folks have on social issues (abortion, God, work over welfare) they are natural conservatives, not liberals.
God's harvest, for whoever takes this on.
Hmm, so by your reasoning, even the founding of The Marine Corps and all of it’s pre-1788 symbolism should be destroyed as well? I mean, wasn’t the corps founded to be a part of an, at that time “illegal”, rebellion?
Nailed it.
Is it just a matter of time before Fort Hood is renamed?

As well as many others.....

Sooner or later, following this logic the Iwo Jima memorial will be found insensitive to the interned Japanese Americans, and our allies in the Pacific Region, and will have to be purged.
So I guess you’ve completely written off blacks as Americans?
How would you teach them about the past?
Would you say it all was a lie? That they’re fools to believe it?
“...IS this the same CMC ...”
The jarf is one and the same.
I have the utmost respect for the Corps....hut a bad apple will slip through now and then.
Sorry to hear that you weren’t/aen’t troubled by the Obama/federal government 8 years and counting reign of terror. That’s also what the South was dealing with at the time.
The poseur Obama gave him his third star. Unfortunately, Trump gave him his 4th,
Extract: “There are several military bases named after confederate generals. Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Hood, Fort Lee, Fort Gordon, Fort Pickett (of Pickett’s Charge fame), Fort Polk. I’m sure there is a couple more. What happens with the names of these bases?”
Absolutely nothing happens to those and the other 3 US Army forts named after Confederate Generals.
It is too bad that the author shows his ignorance regarding one fact: The Commandant of the Marine Corps orders do NOT affect US Army forts, posts, and installations. There are no USMC camps named after Confederate officers, most of whom were formerly US Army officers before they resigned their commissions and accepted new ones from the CSA.
Unfortunately, there are some on here...I won’t mention the name (OIFVeteran)...who disagrees with Ike and prefers ISIS, antifa approach to destroying cultural and historical statues, monuments, artifacts,traditions, symbols, history, valor etc.
“And revolution is treason.”
Do you apply that to the Revolutionary War too? I guess it was but there is righteous “treason”...such as the revolution and secession and then there is the evil criminal treason of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the Obama administration, democrat politicians etc.
I never imagined that I would call a Commandant of the Marine Corps a “disgusting sissy”, but I’ve said that multiple times about this pathetic excuse for a Marine.
For those who say, “there is no such thing as an ex-Marine,” that may be true, for now. As soon as this politically-correct wimp retires to teach Gender Studies, he will be an ex-Marine.
He’s very Pope-like, this one.
Yes, what the founders did was treason, against the British Crown. When they invoked the natural right of revolution and rebelled you then have to look at why they did it to see if they were morally justified in their actions. Let’s do this by comparing the American Revolution with the southern rebellion.
RW = the Revolutionary War, ACW = the American Civil War.
The rebelling party was a full member of the body politic:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had willfully and freely entered into the government from which it was rebelling:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had access to full representation on the national stage:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party had attempted to have their grievances redressed, and hostilities began before they declared separation and independence:
RW: yes. ACW: No
The rebelling party began their rebellion after losing a free and fair election in which they were a full participant:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party made clear in their documents of separation that their main concern was protecting chattel slavery of the African race:
RW: no. ACW: yes
The rebelling party made clear their right to separation through war and de facto independence:
RW: yes. ACW: no
As you can see there is absolutely no comparison between what our founding fathers did in 1776 and what the southern rebels did in 1861.
Add to his feminist shit yesterday
Oh he’ll have folks here applauding him
They are on my homepage
Progressives infect this place always have
And their cover has ALWAYS been that we are racists
40% of Mississippi blacks voted to keep the flag despite intense northern media pressure
Mississippi blacks > Alabama blacks perhaps
