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.
He was Trump's pick to begin with.
Everybody loves a winner while nobody loves a loser. That's the difference.
You're saying it was a legal rebellion? Is there such a thing?
You might want to brush up on history and original constitutional law.
As might you.
And, do you support Lincoln’s many illegal acts to suppress the south, or was that OK?
Care to be more specific?
That makes absolutely no difference.
So you’re going to stick with “Lincoln outsmarted us dumb rubes” defense for their actions?
So you’re against “pity parties” unless you’re the one throwing one ...
Not only that. The act of taking slaves is an act of war against the people you're enslaving.
Indeed. Good point.
The Irish had a real gripe with history. Unfortunately this feeling got turned into a movement of whiners and supplicants. The South certainly violently resisted invasion by massive Yankee hordes. After military defeat the attempt to permanently helotize Southern whites led to a second southern war of independence against the Republcan-CarpetBagger-Union League regimes and their black dupes in the yankee controlled and quite large and well armed ‘state militias’. The South as a result, became a political liability to the GOP and was granted what amounted to local option political freedom. The price was, unfortunately, complete economic colonization by northern finance capital. The latter explains why the most culturally conservative region in the country enthusiastically supported the New Deal, both a revenge on Wall Street and the first significant capital injection into the South since 1860. So, pity party no, but the phrase down here is ‘forgive but don’t forget’.
