Secretary of Defense orders nine military bases honoring Confederate officers be renamed

[bigrebnc1775]

Changing the names of military bases is what makes no sense.

That and never once calling for the removal of Byrds statue

I’m not fighting for it. Just pointing out more hypocrisy from the left. Why shouldn’t the word Democrat be changed. Clearly racist by the lefts own standards.

Then they should change Republican as well, because they are clearly the racist party today

Not about Trump

The difference between what Byrd was 80 years ago and what Trump is today is what?

Byrd never commanded troops in battle against the United States of America. Can you see the difference between Byrd and Stonewall Jackson yet?

Obama was president giving high praise to the klan leader.

Yet he was a leader of the democrat party and the klan.

OK I'll bite. Are there any Federal facilities of any sort named after Byrd? I am just fine with changing the names of those.

This appears to be a list of state facilities named after Byrd. They are all in West Virginia. West Virginia is fully capable of renaming those facilities. West Virginia is a Republican state.

Byrd was a leader of the democrat party.

Republicans aren’t the ones changing names and tearing down statues.
I’m dealing with reality and facts. You’re dealing with what you’ve been groomed to know.

The actual point is why does anything with a name already need to have it changed?
There is no reason.

I don't see a problem with renaming military posts that were named after Confederate Officers. The military should rename all posts after their Medal of Honor recipients.

As much as I detest the idea of renaming bases and taking down statues, I have to admit that I could get behind that idea...

 

[bigrebnc1775]

You are a master of the obvious. Please address my point.

And yet here you are defending him. Until your and the rest of Democrats hypocrisy is addressed you'll continue to whine

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Please address my point. Are you even reading replies? I assume you are an actual person right?

Until yours and the rest of Democrats hypocrisy is addressed you'll continue to whine

Johnson was one of the biggest racists in the country.......and reportedly a member of the kkk....

Do you have a source for that? I can find literally nothing connecting Johnson to the Klan...

I think the bigger concern for the military should be that the Army missed it’s recruitment goals and the other three branches are falling behind that should be a bigger concern than renaming bases. Of course focusing on the trivial is the trendy thing today no reason to expect the military to be any different.

That's pretty meaningless, unless you're trying to suggest that all democrats were members of the KKK, and that would be just silly...

Okay, so the answer to my question is no, you have nothing to support your allegation other than your own unfounded suspicions.

Gotcha'...

Maybe not but he was a democrat at a time that only democrats would be found in the kkk

No "maybe" about it.

The only thing with which you can try to support your allegation is your own unfounded suspicion.

That's hardly compelling...
