Warren Amendment Calls For The Destruction Of Confederate Monuments In Graveyards

The Warren Amendment didn't just call changing the names of military bases. It called for the destruction of Confederate monuments inside military graveyards including Arlington Cemetery.

During the voice vote, only Sens. Hawley and Cotton voiced opposition to the destruction of anything inside graveyards.

Other Republicans on the committee were completely silent.

Senate Republicans are now scrambling, believing Trump will veto the defense bill if it includes the Warren Amendment.

The amendment was passed with a voice vote, so there's no record on how any individual senator voted.

I was told, "this isn't the hill to die on"... I can't wait till they find that hill.

If you want to know what I said on the other end of the phone was, "grow some f****** balls and say no to these college campus white pussies and these wine moms. No one really gives a s***."

A couple of liberals seem to think destroying confederate monuments is extremely popular, it's not.

Morning Consult poll just last week found only 32% of Americans support taking down the monuments. It's probably even less in graveyards

Where’d they get a 70 y.o. flag?

"Those monuments are private property. I don’t think they can do this."

? Say what..? The left has been burning down and destroying private property for nearly a month now.! And NO ONE has lifted a hand to stop it.. Why do you suppose that is..???

[GOPJ]

But, but, but isn't the 'Democrat Way' to encourage Antifa brownshits to tear down what they don't like? Why follow legal procedures when brownshirts can do it faster?

The press cheers democrats tearing down 'offensive' statues...

Next they'll turn on Chinese for spreading a pandemic - then democrat thugs can set fire to Chinese restaurants... and shame anyone owing Chinese trinkets.

And Jews? How long until Democrats do 'Cancel Culture Jew' and burn down Synagogues... Will the press cheer them on as they burn Jewish business?

Hey Morning Joe and Mika's sycophants... it's the process thugs like - it's NOT just hatred of people living in one part of the country...

We've seen this movie before...it ends badly.

"Islam seems to get a pass."

Maybe that's because they have the balls to fight back..?

[SisterK]

no kidding

this is Taliban and Isis mentality

[xp38]

yeah that malice toward none thingy is so yesterday

[southernindymom]

Are you kidding me. I can’t stand it, I’m so sick and tired of this crap.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Thanks. Such is not easy to do at all on iPad.

[a fool in paradise]

Get Klansman Robert Byrd OUT of Arlington!

Toss his racist bones in the lake.

[rockrr]

*SMH*

This goes hand in hand with “mostly peaceful” riots.

Be safe out there!

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

The Confederacy was a treasonous entity.

So were Washington's army and the Continental Congress.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Exactly.

And I say that as a HUGE RevWar fan - not to mention Washington.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Oh good God.

They get to do this IN A CEMETERY OF UNION SOLDIERS!

How do they think that would go down if they were alive?

Also burning “Confed” flag (BATTLE, you idiots), and police-lives flag.

Oh, and they have to “protect against FAR-RIGHT militia groups”! LOL

Would that they had to protect against BIKERS!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Not crazy at all.

Ask yourself - or better, ask them - whom liberals admire and LINCOLN will probably even be called the greatEST president. Ask them about the USA. The ONLY time they’ll roll over and glorify the USA as perfect is during the ACW. Everything else gets eviscerated.

C.1900 things seemed to start to change. Teddy showed how statist he was with his “trust-busts” and confiscating land, and then Wilson started showing the statist ideas like income tax and getting rid of the Senate by state vs “the people”. Earlier “Dem” pres’s wouldn’t abide so much gov meddling. They’re just the bellwethers.

E. B. Sledge, the author of With th Old Breed, was from Alabama. At Okinawa, the deadliest battle in the Pacific theater, after seeing most of his unit dead, wounded, or sick, Marines had attacked eastward into the rains of Shuri Castle and had raised the Confederate flag. When we learned that the flag of the Confederacy had been hoisted over the very heart and soul of Japanese resistance, all of us Southerners cheered loudly. The Yankees among us grumbled...

[jmacusa]

BS. The Revolution was about breaking away from a degenerate, tyrannical, unelected monarchy that drew it legitimacy from ‘’the divine right of kings’’. The Civil War was about violent secession against a duly and freely elected government for the purpose of maintaining an economic system based on the use of slave labor.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

It’s not that simple. I am glad that the rebels won independence from England, and I am glad we abolished slavery. The rebels were born English, but you are determined not to admit it. Very few CSA troops owned slaves.

[jmacusa]

The rebels were born as Americans, subjected to a Crown. I’m well aware not all Southerners owned slaves. They were used as tools by an elite, land owning and slave holding class.

And tell me, if the South had won the war what would have become of the slaves? Would they have been set free?

[the OlLine Rebel]

No the rebels were born mostly as English colonists. There were no Americans and even pre-ACW most people were indeed most dedicated to their states/colonies.
