Re: Johnson, Bush, Trump
The problem with having a pathological liar in the Oval Office is that the American people have no idea whether he's telling the truth now, when it makes one helluva difference. But since Donny certainly hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt, I will be asking my Congressional representatives to oppose military action in the region until and unless we get reliable information. --BobBackInTex wrote:There's one every 4 years here.

And there are many, many reasons to believe that Donny is a racist. Very fine people in this day and age don't celebrate the Confederacy, a nation of traitors (and ultimately losers) that was created in order to further human bondage and subjugation.
As for the Mueller Report, as far as I'm concerned there's enough there right now to justify an impeachment inquiry for obstruction of justice. Don McGahn's testimony alone is probably enough, which is why Donny is fighting tooth and nail to keep McGahn from testifying. And although it may not have been a crime, I think that a candidate for office who knowingly accepts the help of a hostile foreign government also deserves to be impeached and removed.

Re: Johnson, Bush, Trump
I submit that whatever the Confederate soldiers were, they weren't traitors. Prior to the Civil War, people viewed themselves more as citizens of a state than of the country. Meaning their primary loyalty was to their state.Beebs52 wrote:You are scarily, sadly repetitive.silverscreenselect wrote:It's funny how you don't see anyone in Germany wanting to "celebrate their heritage" by erecting statues of Hitler, Goebbels, or any of the military leaders, and they don't name streets or schools after them either.Bob78164 wrote: Very fine people in this day and age don't celebrate the Confederacy, a nation of traitors (and ultimately losers) that was created in order to further human bondage and subjugation.
The drive to "celebrate" the Confederacy came in the early 1900s as a means of asserting white racial superiority.
Remember, even in the North it was the states that raised the units. For example, First Pennsylvania etc etc
Prior to the war it was common to say "The United States Are."
After the war it was "The United States Is."
That is one thing the war settled.
But that would be too complex an argument for you and it doesn't fit your tactical political mindset.

Re: Johnson, Bush, Trump
As usual, you have no idea what my mindset is. The question of whether the United States was an indivisible nation or a confederation like the European Union was definitely unsettled in 1861 (although the Civil War pretty much settled that issue). Definitely, the enlisted men and lower-ranking officers were doing what they believed was their duty. As for the senior officers, it was more of a gray area. But as far as the politicians like Jefferson Davis were concerned, they were definitely guilty of treason as it's defined in the Constitution (although the relative lack of prosecution was more a matter of political expediency than legal insufficiency). Further, their actions in seceding for the purpose of the perpetuation of slavery (and causing thousands of deaths and enormous destruction in the process) are morally reprehensible.Spock wrote: But that would be too complex an argument for you and it doesn't fit your tactical political mindset.
And that still begs the question of just when all these monuments were erected... not immediately after the Civil War but decades later. They coincided with the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and passage of various Jim Crow laws and were intended not as a monument to former soldiers but a symbol of white power, especially to the blacks in those cities who had to look at the statues every day. In addition, there was a secondary spike in erecting these statues and monuments in the 1950s and 60s, during the Civil Rights Era.

I found the following in the Wikipedia article, List of Confederate monuments and memorials:silverscreenselect wrote:And that still begs the question of just when all these monuments were erected... not immediately after the Civil War but decades later.

You failed to mention that the first wave of monuments also coincided with the creation of the National Military Parks where they were installed. Also, scanning the article for dates in the 1950s and 60s, it appears to be much less of a definitive secondary spike than you make it out to be.Many more monuments were dedicated in the years after 1890, when Congress established the first National Military Park at Chickamauga and Chattanooga, and by the turn of the twentieth century, five battlefields from the Civil War had been preserved: Chickamauga-Chattanooga, Antietam, Gettysburg, Shiloh, and Vicksburg. At Vicksburg National Military Park, more than 95 percent of the park's monuments were erected in the first eighteen years after the park was established in 1899.

Re: Johnson, Bush, Trump
Nice try, but if you'll look at the data compiled this year by the Southern Poverty Law Center, you'll see that the vast majority of monuments and other commemorations listed have nothing whatsoever to do with military parks. And, having been to Chickamauga and Kennesaw Mountain Parks here in Georgia, the monuments there are in the nature of tributes to both Union and Confederate forces that fought (and often died) during the battle and are typically located where the particular unit was stationed during the battle.Estonut wrote: You failed to mention that the first wave of monuments also coincided with the creation of the National Military Parks where they were installed.

https://www.splcenter.org/20190201/whos ... onfederacyThe study identified 1,747 publicly sponsored symbols honoring Confederate leaders, soldiers or the Confederate States of America in general. These include monuments and statues; flags; holidays and other observances; and the names of schools, highways, parks, bridges, counties, cities, lakes, dams, roads, military bases and other public works. Many of these are prominent displays in major cities and at state capitols.
--There are 103 public K-12 schools and three colleges named after prominent Confederates. At least 34 of these schools/colleges were built or dedicated from 1950 to 1970, broadly encompassing the era of the modern civil rights movement.
-- The study identified 780 monuments at county courthouses, town squares, state capitols and other public venues. The majority (604) were dedicated before 1950. Twenty eight were dedicated between 1950 and 1970. Thirty-four were dedicated after 2000. Many of these are memorials to Confederate soldiers, typically inscribed with colorful language extolling their heroism and valor, or, sometimes, the details of particular battles or local units. Some go further, however, to glorify the Confederacy’s cause. For example, in Abbeville, South Carolina, a monument erected in 1906 is inscribed with a poem that reads, in part: “The world shall yet decide, in truth’s clear, far-off light, that the soldiers who wore the gray, and died with Lee, were in the right.”
-- Excluded from this count in this survey were thousands of monuments, markers, names or other tributes located on or within battlefields, museums, cemeteries or other places that are largely historical in nature. Markers that appeared to be approved by historical commissions were also excluded.

https://www.splcenter.org/20190201/whos ... onfederacyThe study identified 1,747 publicly sponsored symbols honoring Confederate leaders, soldiers or the Confederate States of America in general. These include monuments and statues; flags; holidays and other observances; and the names of schools, highways, parks, bridges, counties, cities, lakes, dams, roads, military bases and other public works. Many of these are prominent displays in major cities and at state capitols.
--There are 103 public K-12 schools and three colleges named after prominent Confederates. At least 34 of these schools/colleges were built or dedicated from 1950 to 1970, broadly encompassing the era of the modern civil rights movement.
-- The study identified 780 monuments at county courthouses, town squares, state capitols and other public venues. The majority (604) were dedicated before 1950. Twenty eight were dedicated between 1950 and 1970. Thirty-four were dedicated after 2000. Many of these are memorials to Confederate soldiers, typically inscribed with colorful language extolling their heroism and valor, or, sometimes, the details of particular battles or local units. Some go further, however, to glorify the Confederacy’s cause. For example, in Abbeville, South Carolina, a monument erected in 1906 is inscribed with a poem that reads, in part: “The world shall yet decide, in truth’s clear, far-off light, that the soldiers who wore the gray, and died with Lee, were in the right.”
-- Excluded from this count in this survey were thousands of monuments, markers, names or other tributes located on or within battlefields, museums, cemeteries or other places that are largely historical in nature. Markers that appeared to be approved by historical commissions were also excluded.
