Pelosi orders removal of portraits of ex-House speakers who served in Confederacy

Go Nancy!

And don't come back.

Why celebrate people who actively were working against democracy? Confederates wanted to overthrow the government and form their own nation.

It isn't a celebration. It is an acknowledgment that they served.

They call that "History". We sometimes learn from it.

Putting up their portrait in a place of honor is celebrating someone.

It is acknowledging that they contributed. History can be or can't be a celebration of an event or a person, but WE do not destroy history because we are butt hurt.

Tell that to the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrats.... They've taken their ques from the Stalinist regimes.

That's fine.

And, sometime in the future, when the House is predominately African American and Hispanic American, the portrait of Ms. Pelosi will be removed.

That will also be fine.

A win-win for everyone!

The filthy work of the American Taliban to destroy American history continues.

The democrats are trying to remove anything that will make people ask....

"Why are all of these statues and pictures they want removed, statues and pictures of members of the democrat party who supported and fought for slavery?"

The democrat party was the political party of the Confederacy.....why vote for a party with that racist history? If we are tearing down statues of democrat party war heroes...why should we allow the political party those soldiers fought for remain?

I guess your would put up a bust or portrait of Benedict Arnold. He served as well.

Did he serve in Congress?

Not the point. Would you put the bust or portrait of Benedict Arnold up at West Point?

Would you vote for a political party, the democrat party, that is the party those people fought for? If you are going to remove portraits and statues of individual members of the democrat party because they owned and fought to keep slaves....why on earth should the political party that they fought for still exist?

It is the point. Benedict Arnold's portrait, if one exists, should be in the historical archives of military service to this country. Until he turned traitor, he served with distinction.

Much like John McCain who also turned traitor.

Notwithstanding your absolutely bizarre comment about McCain, I agree that Benedict Arnold’s bust and portrait should be in basement archives along with the busts and portraits of traitors to the Union gathering dust and cob webs. Not in places that honor them.

~~~~~~
Nothing like the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftists revising history.

Are you arguing there was no civil war or rebellion against the union?

No, he is arguing about the motive for why they went to war. Seemed pretty straight forward to Me.

They went to war against the union. They were traitors. Short and simple. Doc apparently sympathizes with traitors against the USA.

They went to war to defend their perceived rights. The argument can and has been made that it was the Union that went to war with them.

I sided with the Union in My analysis of what they did, but make no mistake. They did not go to war on the basis of what the left perceives as wrong.

Unless, of course; you perceive that the States have no rights in out Republic and that everything should be centralized to the Federal Government. In which case, YOU are an enemy of the Constitution. That makes YOU a traitor.

The states have all rights granted them under the Constitution of the USA. They do not have the right to rebel against the Union. If one rebels against the union and starts killing fellow Americans then that person is a traitor. This is not rocket science.

Then why do you support the political party, the democrat party, that rebelled against the Union? If those statues must come down because those individuals fought for the democrat party to keep Blacks as slaves....logic would dictate that the political party they actually fought for should be ended............

Go Nancy! Take that racist trash off the walls!

Yes.......take that racist, democrat party trash off the walls...then disolve the democrat party and give its assets to the descendants of the slaves the democrat party fought to keep in slavery......

LOL obviously they were all Democrats. What's she doing, trying to destroy the evidence. LOL What's next books?

That is exactly what the democrats are doing.......getting rid of the physical reminders that the democrat party was the party of slavery, and the democrat party started a war to keep Black people as their slaves....

Why stop at pictures.....why not remove all of the racist Democrats in congress?

Just tho em out back in the dumpster.

 

[BluesLegend]

Washington DC museums are filled with statues and artifacts from slavers, built by slaves, paid for with slave labor, why aren't Dems emptying all this slave contraband into the street and setting it on fire?

The Confederates were Democrats. Yes, it’s important to remember that Democrats are treasonous whores. Pretty relevant to today.
