Confederate Memorial at Arlington will be removed despite GOP opposition

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

It must be such a dark and gloomy existence without good reward to be a traitorous MAGAconfederate.

Prove it was.

The Lost Cause​

SUMMARY
The Lost Cause is an interpretation of the American Civil War (1861–1865) that seeks to present the war from the perspective of Confederates and in the best possible terms. Developed by white Southerners, many of them former Confederate generals, in a postwar climate of economic, racial, and social uncertainty, the Lost Cause created and romanticized the “Old South” and the Confederate war effort, often distorting history in the process. For this reason, many historians have labeled the Lost Cause a myth or a legend. It is an important example of public memory, one in which nostalgia for the Confederate past is accompanied by a collective forgetting of the horrors of slavery. Providing a sense of relief to white Southerners who feared being dishonored by defeat, the Lost Cause was largely accepted in the years following the war by white Americans who found it to be a useful tool in reconciling North and South. The Lost Cause has lost much of its academic support but continues to be an important part of how the Civil War is commemorated in the South and remembered in American popular culture.

Prove it was.

Why am I required to do that? I'm not the one who's always blubbering about your sainted "democracy." Idiots like you are always waxing sanctimoniously about democracy, but then you never support in when it comes to practical application.

Your "lost cause" horseshit means nothing to me.

Dearie, it's your lost cause.

suck on it

Yes it is, dumbass. It was written because the members of the Lincoln cult have been getting a strong dose of the criticism for the lies they've been spreading.

Who was president in May, 2017? Whose administration allowed our national security to be sold to Saudi Arabia?


View attachment 874197

Presidents are not in charge of oil companies. Aramco is owned by Saudi Arabia But who owns Dutch Shell who sold out to Aramco? When was Dutch Shell and Aramco joined at the hip and who was president then? Turns out Nixon was president but he too did not join the Dutch firm to the Saudi Firm.
