And so while making false accusations against me, you self-identify as American Taliban, eager to destroy monuments you dislike.
It is entirely the PC Revisionists who have done that. Meanwhile the statue of an infamous war criminal like Sherman stands unmolested in NY’s Central Park as well as several sites in Ohio.
This debate/discussion is much wider than just Free Republic. There is no doubt it is the South’s legacy, history, traditions and culture that has been demonized by the Left. Meanwhile even more conservative Midwesterners and those few Northeasterners who are not actually part of the Leftist PC Revisionist cabal sit back and say nothing while the South is constantly unfairlyvdenigrated. Why is that? Do you really think YOUR history is safe? They are already moving on to Thomas Jefferson now.
“conservative Midwesterners ....... sit back and say nothing”
I couldn’t be more conservative or Midwestern.
Its just this, the north considers the matter settled, many in the south do not.
I have many cousins, Dems and Reps, in the south, they have many of your same views. Our family reunions had to ban race and Civil War talk. I will never forget my grandfather and Pensacola Uncle having a fierce argument, never saw Grandpa so angry.
I remember my son in basic training talking about the recruits from the “dirty south” picking fights with recruits they thought were “Yankees”. When they found out my son was from the State of WA, he didn’t matter to them, only Civil War states had Yankees.
That’s how silly the debate gets.
Why do you tell such godawful lies about people like WT Sherman?
