Confederate Memorial at Arlington will be removed despite GOP opposition

[BrokeLoser]

The monument, designed by sculptor Moses Ezekiel, was erected in 1914 with congressional approval at the cemetery located across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

University of Maryland historian Leslie Rowland told NPR and WBUR's Here and Now that funds for the memorial were raised by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which existed largely to "vindicate Confederate soldiers and other members of the Confederate generation." They did so by "putting forward a sanitized, romanticized version of the pre-Civil War South," Rowland said.

Put it in a museum dedicated to man's inhumanity to man where it belongs.

“Inhumanity”….aren’t Africans still maiming, raping and killing Africans like nowhere else in the world does?

1. Agreed. Republicans need to back the fuck off of the abortion issue.

2. Bidenomics is what Biden calls his economic agenda. The War on Oil, the Green Agenda, pushing EVs, open borders letting in 8,000,000 more mouths to feed, runaway inflation, etc. Trump said he would "drill baby drill" like he did his 1st term.

3. Also agree. Maybe we should quit while we're ahead? LOL.

What War on oil?

Biden Administration Oil, Gas Drilling Approvals Outpace Trump’s

You can be better, and should be better.

Lead the way.

It's a long path for you just to reach poor. But it would be an improvement.

Democrats have completely changed since the Civil War. Then you wanted all blacks to be slaves. Now you just want slavery for Latina women and girls, MAGA man

Democrats proudly erected the monuments. Now Democrats lie by trying to change the Democrats to being this fake title of conservatives. This to try to change who supported slavery to we Republicans. This is to blame republicans for slavery and to clear the Democrats names. They are pure liars.
When black professors told the story that as slaves what did slaves have?
Homes to live in. Food to keep them alive. They got on the job training. Democrats now say shit on job training. But when freed, those were valuable for blacks to do trades they learned as slaves. And Democrats can't stand the idea slaves got on the job training. But when freed, for many slaves it kept them alive.

I have been on some of the plantations that are preserved for history. I suspect that Democrats plan to sneak in at night and burn down those magnificent buildings and outlying structures. They are just that evil.

Bullshit, almost all those monuments were erected decades later and served as a reminder to minorities that jim crow would keep the white people in power.
It's the reason you fuckups fight our history thru denial of CRT and the 1619 Project. History.....sure fuckup

That you even consider CRT and the 1619 project "history" shows how unintelligent you are.

The "1619 Project" and CRT are not history they are ideology.

Their bogus history was refuted in "the President's Advisory 1776 Commission" report, written by real professors and historians, not stupid communist/racists.

A 40-page report was released January 21, 2021. Read it and learn the truth:
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.go...nts-Advisory-1776-Commission-Final-Report.pdf

The 1619 Project was published in NYT Magazine August 2019. It was an essay written by Nikole Hannah-Jones without any citations or references. It is simply incorrect, as documented and refuted by real historians. It is simply an amateurish attempt to "reframe history" and "decenter whiteness" according to the author. It is ideology pretending to be history.

Some of the unsubstantiated and simply incorrect claims include:
1. America was founded in 1619, not 1776
2. The reason for the American Revolution was to protect slavery
3. The US Constitution is anti-black
4. The founding ideals were all false
5. That slavery didn't exist until the US started it

The 1619 Project is nothing but a poorly written collection of racist lies.
There was no research, there are no citations, its total bullshit.

What is the point bob. If Democrats erected the fucking racist statues, then we can take them back down.

But who fighting that? Dems or repugs?

What War on oil?

Biden Administration Oil, Gas Drilling Approvals Outpace Trump’s

The current con job by Democrats is suddenly after being hauled into courts over his stopping as much oil production as he could, and the courts forcing Biden back to some of the Trump policies, that Biden is some hero and taking credit for what the courts made him do. Test Bidens joy over having more oil by ANWR for one thing. Any current wells being drilled in Alaska that Trump supported?

Shut the fuck up you coward. We'll happily shit on Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis and Confederate culture. How about you?

Do they have a founding document that says "All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Let's continue to be better than to strive to enslave an entire race in perpetuity.

Wow, a triggered racist with his racist friends trying to convince anyone that America hasn't been a racist nation for a long time.

You dumb Bingo. You can restrict drilling in some places while increasing it over all in others. Why are all of you this fucking stupid?

Shove that race card up your ass.

Yep. Slaver statues should be preserved like the Holocaust museums to remind everyone what leftists are. Let's check the score.

Killed by leftists - 100 million
Freed by leftists - 0

Nope, not getting any better ...

 

[kyzr]

You dumb Bingo. You can restrict drilling in some places while increasing it over all in others. Why are all of you this fucking stupid?

So how is that ending fossil fuel like he promised?

So why force oil companies to drill where they don't want to drill, and not let them drill where they want to?
Like forcing auto makers to make EVs even though people don't want them.
Maybe that's why we're getting runaway inflation.
Democrats micromanaging the US economy is the dumbest idea since Joe Biden was picked to be the "presidential figurehead".

President Biden didn't/couldn't stop a single well from producing when took office in 2021. His pause on leasing to explore the legality of Trumpybear's fire sale of leases as a lame duck was necessary and appropriate. How did the lease sale in ANWR go over with the Oil Patch?
