Why aren't the Leftist Democrats "Speaking out" about the Antifa Thugs? Ah, I think I know the answer.
LOL!
Put Lee in a 3 piece polyester leisure suit, and everything will be fine.
Their line of thinking is idiotic and superficial.@Tambora, as you can see, they really get upset when one posts that monuments such as Lincoln's need to be removed as well if you follow their line of thinking...
Public space, you lost the vote. Sorry.
He said, arguing for the tyranny of the minority. Else the tyranny of his notion of a principle over any other.Sadly, this happens in a democracy....trading 1 tyrant for 300 or more.
We haven't even started on the Egyptian looking monuments.:rotfl:
Rather, he isn't commemorated for his errant beliefs,
but for the actions that led to the preservation of the Union
and his freeing of an enslaved people.
Most Southerners didn't own slaves, didn't own plantations, etc. But the men in Confederate uniform might as well have owned plantations and taken their profit by that institution, because they fought for masters who did and slavery was the issue over which the war was fought and by which its practice was ended.
It isn't, which is why you do this instead of attempting to illustrate that against challenge.Their line of thinking is idiotic and superficial.
Literally has nothing to do with my position.They are caving to the idiotic 'black lives matter' mantra.
Rather, he isn't commemorated for his errant beliefs, but for the actions that led to the preservation of the Union and his freeing of an enslaved people.1.) Lincoln was a bad man at a point in his life, but he preserved the union so he should get a pass.
Proven false.

The south were nothing but a bunch of slave owners who's only concern was the protection of slavery.
Maybe he thinks he should be "free" to be both proud and ignorant?How is your liberty tied to the monuments?
Racist camel
Smash it to smithereens!

He shouldn't have done that.Poor Douglas, what did he ever do. Oh, let some nasty southerner to ride em....
No and you've been answered on that mistaken notion. Washington isn't being commemorated for owning slaves or supporting that horrific idea. Those men clad in Confederate uniforms are inseparably linked, both in the form of expression and by virtue of their actions in defense of a rebellion predicated upon the issue.Smokescreen is right. It's not about folks that had or did not have slaves, or they would want George Washington statues torn down as well.
I can't speak for them, but I can tell you, as I have, that I'd replace every one with a monument for those who died to free men instead of enslave them.Every single one of our Confederate monuments could be replaced with a monument of Islam, and the 'tolerance' would be overflowing from liberals. Wouldn't hear a peep.
No, the Union was there when he arrived. He simply kept slave owners from separating it.Of which, he made up....
They weren't freed by omission.As an afterthought. And had no INTENTION of freeing
Rather, culpable by active defense and you'll likely never get it, but your descendants will.Oh, guilt by association....got it.
